Miss Mid-Life Crisis Of 2003

[goldfish boy]

Last night was the first night that I could practice, but didn't. Mustn't let that happen again. Mustn't neglect my baby's needs. I'd had a crushing disappointment earlier in the evening, followed by a fun time, but then the memory of the earlier disappointment crept back in and I wasted time with Mistress Internet.

So tonight, instead of seeing a show or something, I'll go home after work and spend extra time caressing my sweetie.

I've been working with songs I've already made up melodies for, finding chords to underlie the melodies. I think I'm making progress. But I don't think I'll be able to start writing songs from the chords up until I learn some other people's songs first, get into them and figure out how they're constructed. That's the next step, I guess. I still haven't found that guitar book (and I'm not sure I'll be able to apply it to keyboard), but I'll try it.

I'm all yours tonight, Miss MLC2K+3!

Shit. I thought my computer had a MIDI jack. I was really pretty sure of it--it's a good sound card.

I'll have to see if there's an adapter that connects to a USB port, or else...guess I'll have to buy a new computer. My girl has needs.

I had big plans for last night, too. Oh, well. At least I practiced a lot. And banged out a lot of big, loud minor chords to get some emotions out.

I'm glad I finally met MarkOn10th (really on Remsen) (really Mark Lee) in person. He's given me a lot of keyboard-playing advice, some of which has already been very helpful, and some of which I'm not quite ready for yet.

Speaking of ready, I was fucking around today a little bit with the acoustic guitar that's gathering dust in my room, and I'm thinking maybe it's time to learn how to tune the thing and maybe try again to learn some guitar chords. Maybe the keyboard progress, slow as it may be, is giving me more confidence.

Would Miss MLC2K+3 be jealous?
