Four months, and so much fun and excitement ... well, no, mainly just getting by for the most part. For that matter, I don't think I've been here in about a month, which is curious. Hmm, what can I say?

OK, I have a Kenwood KD-2055 "marble bottom" turntable that I found someplace years ago, and a couple of weeks ago I finally took it to a local record shop (run by retired people, so it's only open from time to time) and got a new needle cartridge and new drive belt. Next I need to get a ... wtf is that word? I keep wanting to say "recorder" but it's actually the box you plug a turntable and some speakers into so you can actually hear the music. This is starting to really bug me - when I was talking to the guy at the shop I totally lost the word "turntable" and I had one right there in my hands.

Anyhow, I also have a Yamaha FB-01 synthesizer that has been sitting around here about the same number of years, and I'm finally getting around to thinking about getting a synth controller to see what happens. We shall see.

It's spring already, has been for about the last couple of months, and hardly much more than a couple of weeks could possibly have passed for winter or at least autumn. Climate change deniers can go ... Well, anyway I've been in my summer clothes and pajamas during nearly all of this past "winter" and I am looking ahead to summer with unholy dread.
