And I had a very humorous conversation with my housemate about this. Who speaks fluent Spanish- because her parents are from Spain. But now she knows where to buy heroin.

Have her teach you how to say in spanish: "Sorry sir, despite appearance, i am not in fact a heroin addict, but rather, merely a vampire."

I am surprised i have never seen that one in any of the travel phrasebooks. Just seems useful to me.

In the politest possible Spanish Spanish, too. That would be hilarious. Possibly dangerous. But hilarious.

True on dangerous. Depending on the mental/chemical state of the dealer, he may or may not take you at your word and attempt to stake you right there in the street.

Disculpe señor, pero no soy adicto a heroína aun que lo parezca. Soy meramente un vampiro.

and to your housemate...

Joder tia, voz sabéis que vives con un vampiro? es vampiresa usted?

Holy shit blast from the past

I know what "Joder" means. And I think I can puzzle out the rest- considering her deathly pallor- you'd think a Spanish lady would have a complexion that was not translucent, but she burns upon exposure to sun- raven black hair, fondness for Joy Division, Bauhaus and the like, tendency to dress in all black and generally nocturnal schedule, yes, I'm fairly certain she feasts upon the blood of the living as well.

I now have an awful thumb blister from trying to fingerpick all afternoon

I has exhaustion again. Another road trip. This time up to Killington VT to play at the resort there. 5 hour drive, setup... drink, play 3 50 minute sets, 2 50 minute breaks. Great show. Crowd surfing and all. I will catch up with everyone tomorrow.

Trying and failing to record the drums to a quick punky-ish version of this song:



Listening to the original now feels so sluggish and weird.

So, Chris From Garda sends me this- on CL locally- with the title "why do I see this and think of you?"



That is a baritone neck on the one side.

I would, of course, buy this solely to play Garda's "Promise" -I never get to play the baritone line in the chorus and have to dump it to follow the keys live as I haven't had a 7-string in aeons (and would need to borrow one with a trem to really do it right). It makes the pretty goth girls dance though, and I'd rather play the baritone melody than hit Em/Am/G/Em9.

Sexytime with two Bigby's.

Yes the one person here that would rock that would be you.

I coded some basic character movement and camera-follow logic this morning:

TITTAYYYYZ

In addition, I coded some basic AI and a targeting system: http://dtcurrie.comule.com/RPG2/WebBuild.html

Fuck it, added some attacking and healthbar HUDS: http://dtcurrie.comule.com/RPG2/WebBuild.html

Edit: oh yeah you can kill the little red cubes now.

GODDAMNIT. I JUST KNOCKED OVER MY GATDAMN M179 ON ACCIDENT BECAUSE THESE JANKY STANDS AND NOW IT IS NOT MAKING SOUNDS.

That's a mic, right?

YES. IT IS MY ONLY CONDENSER WITH VARIABLE PICKUP PATTERNS. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO USE IT IN PARTIAL FIGURE 8 PATTERN TO RECORD DUAL-MIC'D GUITARS. SO INSTEAD I DID SOMETHING ELSE SO I WOULDN"T CRY IN ANGUISH.
