Tumbled Overboard
After church today, I spent half an hour trying to teach myself in vain how to improvise a jazz harmony to "Heart and Soul" on the piano.
(This is not actually quite as obsessive as it sounds, because just a few days ago I had actually pulled out "How To Play From a Fake Book" and started working throught the piano chord tutorials for the first time, and it uses "Heart and Soul" as an example. I think I may actually stick with it for a while - I've wanted to get back into music-playing for awhile, and the longer I've been at home with Mom, the more I miss the sound of Dad constantly messing around with harmonies on the piano. And the only way I'll be able to hear something like it again is to learn to do it just as badly as he did...)
This afternoon, I'm going through and sorting out all the files that I've pulled together from two laptops, two desktops, and two memory chips, to make backups in preparation for putting different OSs on several of the systems. Including all the mp3s. And the temptation to make a Clark/Lois fanmix while I'm at it is jost ... so tempting.
And speaking of that, to transfer them from one computer to a nother, I put up 850 megs of *extremely* assorted mp3s to YSI. I figure I might as well share, since the file's uploaded anyway - everything from "We Change the World" to the extended techno remix of the original Dr. Who theme. The zip file is here, if you want it.
...if someone friends me out of the blue who has "butchering Harry Potter fans" as an interest, should I be worried?

Probably not. I mean, this is the Internet! There aren't any creepy people on it, or anything!

Oh.
Right.
Carry on.

Right then.
..So, uh, for curiosity's sake, how *did* you find me?
no subject
Definitely probably no stalking involved. Unquestionably.

I play guitar pretty badly. Wanna start a band?

Cool! Thanks. :)

And you're welcome.

Same here. That's what tuners are for. :) I've got one built into my cheesy-but-passable effects pedal.

And I can play acoustic guitar too. In fact, I can play it, uh, a lot more badly than an electric one. So there. ;P

Some nifty tunes, thanks. I need to do a big, random songpost like that soon.

And do you and Mom know what you're doing Tuesday yet?

That was the extent of our plans for Tuesday.

We're having a barbecue thing here this Sunday that's supposed to be sort of Grace's Birthday and sort of Mom's and sort of, um, somebody else's, and sort of just a barbecue - did anybody tell you that yet? So there will be some birthday stuff then, I presume.

And I don't have much in the way of presents, either. It's her own fault. (... I don't have much for either of the other birthdays that weekend, either.)
no subject
Yeah, um, me neither. Maybe we should look for stuff tomorrow. d-: At least I already did the wedding present thing!

I was wondering if i might lj-stalk you? Rather than you getting all suspicious and sending nijas (or pirates?) after me to figure out who i am, i figured i'd just say hi.
Reason being: i dunno, you're neat? I don't normally randomly friend people, but well, i figured it couldn't hurt, mm? you seem like you won't eat me for being weird and watching you talk at people?
Found you through urbpan, who i found through rialian. You don't have to friend me back, as i'm pretty boring and usually don't post much anyway!
