quick update

went to sitex and bought 2 gb of ram and a new 19" philips LCD monitor wooooot. that means that with 2.5 gb of ram now (it was 1 gb earlier) my souped-up comp doesn't lag with caesar IV until i've played about 4 hours at a stretch. and it looks uber cool. downside is that the monitor makes more noise than a conventional CRT. another downside is that when the comp starts up it takes more time to do the memory count lol. upside is i can't hear it over my altec lansing speakers/sucky headphones. next thing to get is a set of sennheiser headphones so i can hear the one nirvana track i have in true eardrum-bursting skull-splitting bass glory.

(note to self: stop bragging, you bastard.)

got my prom outfit. it will either be a style explosion or (more likely) a style disaster. this isn't a suit-and-tie event right? more like a casual-jacket-and-frowsy-shirty-thing event, no? anyway i successfully convinced my mom that giordano would not do this time, which is good news i think.

i've conquered about 70% of waldstein. 1st mvmt is nearly there alr, just that the last couple of pages have some semiquaver runs which need work. 2nd mvmt is sounding good; 3rd mvmt is the killer but i've nearly got the trill-and-melody bit sorted. triplet semiquaver runs and the octave gliss technique still elude me though. looking good...

lol that must have bored the shit out of you guys... tts my life lah.

(Its just one of people you believe would be interested, doesn't need to be confirmed yet)

I've been told that the standards for the solo piece are really low, so it doesn't really matter.

hey rayner!
randomly stopping by; i love your profile lol "bahamas"

btw, i have another nutty christmas project-thing, involving distributing christmas presents. interested? it's quite meaningful really, ok, that sounds quite cheesy, but it is! (meaningful i mean not cheesy) consists of giving presents to children of poor cancer patients! i'm prolly asking adam too (they said they need as many people as possible, but no idea if he'll be overseas)

oh and your prom outfit sounds interesting indeed lol
