errands and musical doodads
Jan. 9th, 2003 06:48 pmI stayed up late last night and finished my most ambitious beady project to date. It's a seven-strand black and red choker. It's neat. I think I'm heading into a blackandred phase. I may have to change my hair colors...
Ran around today with s4, running errands and shopping and stuff. I brought my clarinet to Cadenza on the recommendation of pied piper, and they took one look at it and said it needed a total overhaul to the tune of $250. I was afraid of that... I don't even know that the clarinet itself is worth that much, it's not a bad instrument (wood, intermediate buffet) but I had a good idea that I could buy a used clarinet in better repair for significantly less, and found one on ebay that will probably be mine in about 5 minutes (we'll see) for $80 that's probably only a bit more on the beginner side. As I'm not much of a clarinetist yet and the fact that I'll wanna put it through a bunch of DSPs anyway, that's fine with me. :)
Went to the used/rare bookshop next door and looked at pretty old books, went to cheapo and s4 got some new old music, tried to eat at Keys and found it had been closed for the afternoon, went to target and got organizey things, and soon will head out to check out cap'n bleep's FX processor. After this, my purchasing of musical doodads will be curbed for a while, I think.
Thinking of musical doodads, huge thanks go out to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
omaha for sending me a supercute Casio PT-80 at work yesterday. It was the undisputed high point of an otherwise rather sucky workday. It will definitely soon become a friend of the sensor re:engine and may be a canidate for some circuit bending...Moohahaha...
yay, won the ebay auction with my one and only bid. neat.
