I never thought that 6 years after my last post that I'd still find my login active.

Hey to the old ones and the noobs.

Long time.

Yo!

No sh1t??? Welcome back, man!

(And you probably missed the announcement that we're all wearing WHITE now. Just to get you caught-up)

And we smell better than we used to.

whoa, long pig!

damn... and here I am still in black

Then we must have swapped on some cosmic-olefactory level.

When are we going to do fun stuff like we used to? You know, back in The Day?

~€ther~

Sorry, Big E. In an effort to justify locking myself in my "studio"* a few hours a day, I have been quite the homebody.

In addition, I'm now rearing 2 wonderful little kids to be deeply-spiritual kickboxers... or something like that.

*note: "Studio" is being used loosely until I build a proper desk, set up my monitors to replace my headphones, and make a buck doing it.

i was just reading old threads with you in them the last couple of days...
welcome back!

don't feel bad about not knowing me. nobody else does either.

Who the hell are all you people anyway?!

yes. I may have posted a few times. A few times too many, perhaps.

good to meet you.

some kind of hybridization of a misanthropist's nightmare and a social butterfly's night terrors

you can see them too? i thought i was the only one.

How's that going for you? What is it you plan to do with this studio? Are you still writing/recording, or are you interested in recording other people? Do these constant questions come across as prying?

I've heard children are useful for a variety of purposes, though I've never owned any. I understand their small fingers are good for assembling electronics and making shoes, but beyond that I know very about children. I can't stand the sound of them singing... at any rate, I wish you the best with them and I bet it's great to always have new shoes.

Just remember "Women and children first", when you're on a boat.
I think that's the rule about what to eat if you run out of food on a boat, or something like that.

Yeah... I think you're right about that... that kinda rings a bell, and it sounds reasonable.

Everything is rather smooth, aside from pain from a car accident.

The studio is really just for me. I'm not being greedy about as I am willing to help people out with post production, but it's really not going to be about having a crew of musicians hanging around an already chaotic house.

I've been doing some writing/recording, and I've put up some here.

These particular questions seem less like prying, because I know you. The worst questioning was when I was in a local gov't center last year reading Computer Music and the guy next to me was insistant that I should either disclose what I play, or I'm an asshole for not joining his band.

He sounds like the asshole to me. Everybody knows that when you see a dude reading Computer Music, you back away slowly so as not to disturb him and give him a wide berth.

So... you stabbed him in the throat I assume?

~€~

yeah, and then you whisper into his ear "i play humanity"...

Would've made a great ad for the mag, but I just made him more pissed off when I laughed and told him that I'm really a total hack.
