My older
grandmother called the house again at night. She just turned 89, and is in quite good
health for her age. But unfortunately she has now become something of a
hypochondriac. When ever she is left alone for a while (her
husband passed on years ago), she starts
imagining non-existent
pains and
seizures, causing him to call every
relative that hasn't yet started to pulling off the
phone cord at night. If granny can't reach anybody, he'll order an
ambulance to the
hospital, where they find out she really isn't
physically sick and send her back. Next night, the whole
episode might occur again.
The whole
ordeal is quite sad, actually.
But speaking of last night, the
music project I am working on for a
friend is
advancing nicely. But after playing around with a
software synth for a while I noticed my 450MHz home
PC is too damn slow. Handling 8
oscillators and 4
filters each modulated by an
LFO slows things down quite a bit!
:) Softsynths have progressed incredibly in the last few years though, I use them as much as my
real synthesizers nowadays. (!)
Hmm. I just noticed I have been sitting here for 2 hours with my
headphones on but nothing playing. The
noding just took me away.

Oh,
great. I forgot my
minidisc folder at home. One of those days, I guess.
Being an
impulsive person is
strange sometimes. Last night I started feeling an urge to buy some
dry white wine for the
weekend. Not for getting
drunk, just for the
flavor. I've never been a that much of a
wine person, but
then again life is short and one should try as much new things and possible, right? I know I will never become one of those
snobbish wine
connoisseurs, but I sure as hell wouldn't want that either.
Sheesh. I arrived at
E2 just in time to
witness an another
democrats vs republicans vs KKK vs DMan vs everybody vs XP vs EDB -
situation.
Why can't we all just get a
bong?

WTF?
I just searched for an old
writeup of mine, and found out it's no longer there.
Nuked? Why? For what I remember, its
reputation was positive and it wasn't
offensive nor otherwise
awful. The writeup wasn't that funny and it surely didn't contain much
factual information.. but that description fits to about 97% of my work! So why was that
particular piece
destroyed? An
explanation would be nice.
Now I'm wondering if many other poor
defenseless writings of mine have suffered the same
fate, without me knowing it.
Paranoia!
Fear!
Should I start to
backup all my writeups from now on, in case somebody decides
E2 is not
everything, but
everything *they* like?
Argh!
Maybe I'll just re-
submit the thing right now? And
again after it gets removed for the second time? What would you do then?
*manical laughter*
Ok..
calm down..
relax..
breathe..
There, I'm all normal again. Never mind that last bit.
Just had a
kickass lunch, consisting of a
panini filled with
ham, with some
Pepsi Max to wash it down with. I gotta tell you, the paninis are
to die for. Too bad it took me this long to
discover them, but better late than never. Now I'd better to do some real
work before my bosses notice I'm not doing anything besides
noding here.
Will I get fired because of Everything2?

Well, since
experience has shown that following those little impulses usually pays off, I visited
Alko and got a bottle of
Le Lys from
Buzet. And it's good.
Dry, but not
vinegar-like.

Thanks to
jessicapierce for trying to
investigate what happened to my removed writeup. I guess it's backup time for now on.
Thanks a lot to the
dumbass responsible for destroying the piece. I hope you enjoyed it.
