Coming Soon!

I've got a review of the Live8 DVD set in the works. Part one, "the London concert", is all written, but I can't seem to get the hang of my wife's flash drive, and it's on my laptop. That first day with it we were piggy-backing someone's wi-fi, but that's gone now, so I don't have internet there. Not now, at least.

Probably a couple of days and you can read my essential thoughts and opinions on this fascinating subject.

Here it is, my first full day with a lap top. Got my Firefox installed and the Acid program, too. I'm going to have to rip a few albums onto the media player soon...first I'll have to delete all the free crap that came with the computer.

I don't think it will take me TOO long to get used to the "mouse pad". I also need to get a feel for the keyboard. We got that Wave wireless for the desktop not too long ago and I really cottoned to it...I don't think this one is going to suit me quite as well, but who knows.

I've got a lot to do today, so I guess I'll get down to it.

The day has finally arrived. My Social Security disability back pay check came today. Got a lot of things I needed, and I'll be able to pay back some loans that I had to take out when times were tough.

Went to Oklahoma City and bought a truckload of new clothes. There's this store at Crossroads Mall called Steve & Barry's...everything there is $8.98. It looks like quality merchandise, so I got a lot of stuff. A visit to Borders, but there wasn't anything there I absolutely HAD to own. I just got my "Complete Conversations With God" in the mail Monday and the only things I really want are the other Walshe books. I figure I can wait until I read the original "Conversations" again before I start buying the other ones. Besides, my wife doesn't like for me to have anything to do with them, as they played a role in an episode I experienced a few years ago. Oh well...I enjoy them, and they are extremely thought provoking, so I'll take my chances.

Had dinner at Pancho's Mexican Buffet, which I have always enjoyed...until now. It was not very good at all. The MSG was so strong it was ridiculous.

Then we went to Best Buy for the major purchases...a nice Plasma TV and the lap top I am writing this post on. It's Vista, which I have heard lots of negative things about...we shall see. I think it will take me a while to get used to it. If it gets too frustrating I'll just rip it out and install XP. It seems you just can't get lap tops at a lot of places that don't use Vista.

So there you are. I imagine you'll be seeing a lot more posting from me in the future, as I'll have immediate access to this contraption and will likely spew out whatever comes to me, as it comes. Can't vouch for the quality of future musings...

New Bambo song

Killed a lot of time the last couple of days working on an Acid loop piece I call "O Jimmy Boy". It's by no means complete, but I went ahead and posted it to Garageband so you could hear what I have so far.

I hope you like it...let me know...

O JIMMY BOY
(the Bambo Syndicate)

Oh, yeah...I got that latest Autechre disc in the mail today. I listened to about 3/4 of it. I think I'm gonna like it as much as the last one ("Untilted", which is one of my favorites). Can't wait until I'm REALLY in the mood for some Autechre.
