ambience

Classes are over. Monday I have to turn in a major paper and give a big presentation, neither of which I have started yet. I also have to work on biodiesel website stuff in order to write the paper.

I did buy a new thermos today though. (I broke the old one on Thursday.)

I have been playing a little bit of FFX. I am still astonished by the number of cutscenes. The game would be like a quarter as long if they dropped them. I have m4d Blitzball skillz from summer 2004, so I actually beat the Luca tournament. However, the game I really want to replay right now is FFVIII.

I updated my ancient versions of ACID and Sound Forge (2.0 -> 5.0 and 4.5 -> 8.0b, respectively) and I'm playing around a bit with music making again. I haven't done this since the Great Hard Drive Partition Failure of 2002 (caused by the unfathomable evil that is PartitionMagic) in which I lost, among other things, all of my ACID project files and loops.

So far I am only collecting samples I find randomly (like the first couple bars of the Baywatch theme). The first new track is apparently going to be ambient techno based on what I've thrown in so far. This project is more for Xmas break though. I might even try to learn some FruityLoops, but that's definitely for some other time.

Anyway, it's 2AM so I should go to bed. I am not productive when I am being nocturnal.

Edit: Hey, post #200.
