Didn't do squat today.. finally..
Got the Tuxedo yesterday, the jacket seems in pretty excellent shape.. the neckline looks very good / new.. the pants are ok, not as new as the jacket but the both are cool.. It came in what i can only describe as a pizza box, but with the tuxedo rental's place on it. Kinda cool, RangerBoB ok'd it for me using it in vegas.. ahh yea.. Pimpsuit! All i need is to get the shirt, vest, tie.. He also brought up the snowboard that he's selling.. He's going on a sell-a-thon or something.. Anybody want a 2001 Kawasaki Ninja 500R motocycle? it's got 800-something miles only!
Today my 2000 rnds of .40cal brass came. it looked semi-cleaned, looks good enough to load up without tossing into the tumbler.. i'll do that after i shoot it. Gun people are interesting, they're the most honest people i've ever met. I won the ebay auction at 12.50$ the post stated 8$ shipping.. the Postage tag says $7.70.. I also had a pleasant time with Jim Holliger of White Oak Armament. I ordered a Holliger Tuned Rock River 2-Stage Match trigger from him. I emailed him and his only reply was 'tell me what your address is and i'll send it..' nothing about payment, nada. Sidenote: at the rock river webpage the 2-stage was $130. This guy gets them and modifies them for a smoother pull for $115.. Anyhow i didn't believe him so i called, and he said the exact same thing. Whats your address? So i give it to him and get the trigger. i just sent a check and it was all good..
Made some beef stew on the slow cooker. Did some laundry.. Played some Counter-Strike.. I now have a firewire cable as well as a new keyboard, so i'm all happy now. Full on Digital Video from the MiniDV cam! Re-recorded my 3-gunning but the video comes out icky.. there are sooo many different formats to encode to.. Oi! The Best Flowing Video is at about 120mb. Hmmz, it seems i got a decent setting at 15mb..
Lately i've been going back to listening my favorite old school music.. Classical.. Theres something about quartets, and solos (Piano, Violin, Cello, Any Guitar) that does it for me.. I'm guessing it's knowing that people have spent their lives playing and playing and playing to produce such good sounding action. It's also lovely to hear the interplay between several instruments coexisting and complimenting each other. Orchestras are nice but quartets are specialized. 2 violins, 1 cello, 1 viola, 1 error and everybody hears it.. To listen to it is beautiful (even more beautiful on the home theater system), to watch it is amazing. I'm currently hooked on Bach's Double Concerto in D Minor.. It's only a trio but it's whats produced that matters.. Bach's Little Fugue in G Minor is cool too, if i can find it with stringed instruments.
