I would have declined this a few months ago because I knew I would not be able to fit in the theatre seat comfortably. Now I can!!!

That's so cool!

Aww, yay, sound like fun. I'm so glad you can go, Kathy!

lisah, you look gorgeous!

So I was all excited because I asked a buddy to borrow a tape deck to run off some old cassettes to digital, and he just gave it to me, plus a whole surround system.

We tried to hook up the surround this week, a process which included some adventurous Catherine Zeta-Jones in Entrapment style maneuvering up in the attic. But the wires with which we prewired are too heavy, and the speakers won't mount properly against the wall and still allow space for the cables to bend into the jacks.

So, oh, well, today I hauled the studio in, cleared the desk, set it up, hauled the cassette deck in (during which process the dog wandered happily out the open doors, so the setup process involved a fifteen minute drive around the neighborhood to retrieve the dog) set it up. Wandered around the house looking for rca to quarter inch adapters (nightstand, isn't that where everyone keeps theirs?) and got it all going.

Fired up the recorder, rewound the tape, hit play. Nada. Now the tape won't fast forward, rewind, or play, when it did rewind just a minute ago.

So it looks like instead of an awesome tech haul, I inherited a bunch of nothing. And also didn't get the graphic eq I should have angled for as well. Which probably would have been the only thing out of that pile that worked.

Well, technically, the speakers work, I just can't figure out how to mount and wire them.

And now, having wasted the first half of the day, I am hungry. And cranky. Not quite angry. So maybe hankry.

Get something to eat, Liese! And leave the hookup for someone else.

And I meant to say--you look gawgus, lisah!!

thanks everybody! I had a team of pros working on me that day plus, you know, the Happiness!

you look gawgus, lisah!!

And fashion forward.

That's 3 tickets. One left (unless P-C actually does teleport).

Dude! I would totally go but I already have tickets to another show tomorrow night. Poop. Have fun storming the castle!
