I appear to have made it intact. Sunday night I went to Deep with Brenda [It&#8217;s always striking me as funny.. Deep plays very christian-oriented house, but somehow I can easily ignore this fact and just ride the vibe &#8211; but when I go into a christian church, I can&#8217;t help but feel anger about every fifth word. And I don&#8217;t want to, particularly.. I don&#8217;t want to hate christianity, or christians.. I&#8217;m delighted if it helps you get closer to PLUR &#8211; it&#8217;s just not my cup of chai. I think I have Issues.]<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, sunday night was fun.. spent way too long talkin&#8217; politics and conspiricies with Brenda and James afterwords, but hey, what&#8217;s a mini-vaca for?<\/p>\n<p>Monday, woke up around 3 (!) and cruised back down to Brendas for some hackifying on her web site &#8211; finally got the streams and playlist management up! Yay, only a year and a half after we start, we actually finish! \ud83d\ude09 Anyway, she seemed happy. <\/p>\n<p>Hung with James and went to King Taco, which was mucho tasty.. (anyone know any good Mexican places in Seattle? because so far, I&#8217;ve come up pretty short.. )<\/p>\n<p>Went to catch my flight home, and when I was checking in, tried pushing the &#8216;Upgrade to 1st class&#8217; button. And, darned if it didn&#8217;t print me out a first class ticket, free&#8230; I could learn to like this whole frequent flyer thing. Which means I had enough room to actually mousify, so I wrote a track in Reason. If there&#8217;s any interest, I might post it.. it&#8217;s most definately housy trance, or trance-y house or something.<\/p>\n<p>Spent four hours fighting with the parking meters. They won. <\/p>\n<p>Need to clean my living room something feirce. I&#8217;m having trouble finding places to put boxes, even.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I might be hangin&#8217; out with Patti! Maybe we&#8217;ll get to record either some spoken word stuff or Hazy Shade of Winter. Links will of course be forthcoming if anything cool does get committed to tape.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also met another person who I might be able to lure into recording &#8211; we&#8217;ll see. So far no answer to emails suggesting same, but we&#8217;ll see. I guess I should also email squirrel-girl and see if she&#8217;s up for some recording..<\/p>\n<p>Practice makes perfect in all things, including munging audio. Or so I keep telling myself.<\/p>\n<p>In other thoughts&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Recently, <lj USER=thursdayrome> posted a journal entry which sounded awfully familiar, and it got me to thinking about hawks and doves, PLUR and WHDD, and other similar opposites. <\/p>\n<p>Why do some people enjoy seeing other people made unhappy? I flash back to my high school years, and the number of people who took pleasure in making me miserable.. discussions with <lj USER=don_diego> and his significant-other-kinda tell me I was not alone in this at all. <\/p>\n<p>If anyone might know the answer that I know \/ am friends with, it might be Alex. He&#8217;s got some tendancies to enjoy seeing other people made unhappy. Must remember to ask him the next time we talk.. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m afraid though that it will be one of those conversations that is like &#8216;Why?&#8217; &#8216;Because..&#8217; &#8216;Why?&#8217; &#8216;It just is..&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>I have many more thoughts on this matter, but I just interrupted this post with a WSHR broadcast and now I&#8217;m rather tired (since it&#8217;s 6 am ;-)) and am going to go to bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m back in Seattle.
