synthy

So, I'd pretty much gotten to the point of making peace with my keyboard being a POS and that I really would like to get a semi-weighted 88 key controller and some VST instruments to replace it with, in no small part so I could practice *piano* again. I even had piano dreams and woke up to piano music on MPR and had these nice thoughts about re-learning Beethoven sonatas or learning some ragtime kinds of stuff so that I'd have something to play when people look at me expectantly when I'm around a piano like they do, not knowing that I haven't been around a piano for several years and that while they look similar that keyboards really aren't the same. Anyway, it seemed like a good solution. So I headed across town to pick up my dead synth from the shop today so it could languish at my place instead of their place while I decided whether to go ahead and fix it or sell it or whatever, and lo and behold, they went ahead and sent it to some other unnamed shop in New Jersey *for* me, without actually getting my approval to do so, which.. seems kind of weird. I'm kind of dumbfounded, which I guess is better than being pissed off about it.

I guess I'll see how I feel when I find out how much it actually costs to fix.

Now I'm not sure if I should go ahead and buy myself that controller or not. I got really kind of attached to the idea of a whole 88 keys again.

Maybe it's time to sell the Kurz.
