Windfall

Last night I had the fun of installing my new module in my case. Along with taking most of it and reorganizing. I think I overall ended up with a better flow than I'd had in my previous iteration. And a little bit of time playing with my new module. It's pretty easy and nice and intuitive, packing a good punch for being a small module (as far as sequencers go). Work today was big room planning. It was pretty good. Didn't do a whole lot. We came in pretty prepared (especially compared to last time) so we hit it mostly ready-to-go. A few minor shuffling of things and a few conversations but mostly pretty light. There were some other teams that had all of their stuff upended so it was mostly sitting around waiting for them. Which I guess is better than having to be the one who's scrambling. It was a pretty exciting mail day to come home to...I got my box of one hundred cds from Important Records' kickstarter! That's right! One hundred cds! I got: Citay: s/t, The Weird World of Henry Jacobs: The Fine Art of Goofing Off, Kawabata Makoto: O Si Amos a Sighire a Essere Duas Umbras?, Kimya Dawson: Knock-Knock Who?, C.

Wow! That's a fuckin' mouthful. Now it's gonna take some time to listen through all this!...
