Damn. I thought I'd actually found a doctor, but looking on her center's web site I see that she's all holistic and prefers not fixing problems with pills, or at least not long-term. In theory I'm all for that, but right now I want to keep on with my long-term pills, because I don't have time to fix my life.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
MIDI is sorta' like the old player piano rolls - it just specified what notes to play, for how long, and what instrument to (attempt to) emulate. (eta: so MIDI is not actual sound, just instructions for a synthesizer to create certain sounds.) To convert a .wav file to a MIDI file entails analyzing the music to determine, "OK, that note is a G sharp, this other note is A flat, and it sounds sorta' like an acoustic piano, or in any event the "acoustic piano" MIDI sound is probably the closest one of the MIDI sounds available, so we'll just go ahead and use that one...."
If it's just four notes, it would be fairly easy for a keyboard musician to play it and record the MIDI data for you.

I kind of want to punch today in the face. Repeatedly.
Let's skip that and go straight to giving this week a knee to the 'nads. Repeatedly.

Excellent. I shall start kicking this week in the crotch forthwith.
I am trying to decide what to have for lunch. Maybe a curry?

mmmm. I think that i will go to the grilled chicken place and get a 1/4 chicken with lentils and rice. It's not chicken tikka masala, but it's as close as I'm gonna get

I wonder if people with repressed pyromaniacal tendencies tend to end up as physics or chemistry teachers.
And the ones who don't repress them just become physicists and chemists.
