Installed the Acid program on the laptop, having purchased a wireless USB mouse. I had it here right after I first got it, but I soon realized that it would not be feasible to use it with a touchpad. The only reason I considered buying the mouse in the first place was because I wanted to do more with Acid and my eyes are not as sensitive to the laptop's screen as they are to the desktop's.

I started a project a couple of days ago that may well be my next big time consuming piece. As with almost everything I've done lately it's an ambient work. It's dark, which is also a hallmark of my recent material. And it used copious "found sound" samples. This time I've got several clips of Bob Larson discussing and defending exorcism. There's also a youth minister giving a talk at Bob Jones University about pornography on the Internet and some soundbytes of a guy I used to know who, when the tape I used was recorded, may well be very high on some drug or another.
