Lol, today...or rather yesterday, I spent about 7 or 8 hours playing my happy little instruments, particularly the hurdy gurdy. My right arm and shoulder hurt from cranking it for so many hours. *Phew* it even hurts to type! I shouldn't be typing...probably I should be in bed sleeping, getting up early so I can hang out with Danielle. BUuuuut....I instead came on here and did some stuff after the tiring work on the gurdy. I just posted a little pixel self portrait. XD That's a pixelated version of me in the game, Earthbound. A pretty rockin' game. I made it because recently I started working with pixel art and started a brand new storyline to go with some characters I've created! I've made so far about *counts* 8 characters. I'm not sure whether to post them here or to keep them a secret until I've completed the game. ^.^ (Considering how much time it takes to make the graphics alone, it will probably take me over 2-3 years since I'll be doing the music, artwork, storyline, and coding myself... I'm really terrible at coding so I'm hoping that I can find an RPG maker that lets me use my own graphics and music and battle system...)

Anyway, that's what I've been doing as of late. Jeez my arm won't stop hurting...I hope I still have a properly working shoulder after all the years of hurdy cranking. But Gosh I love that instrument... I had to work with it so long because the tangents are completely out of tune. I couldn't get that darn F key to sound right so I opened up the instrument and basically tried to re-do everything. The best thing that came out of it was my discovery of the lower register. Normally hurdy gurdies don't go lower than the F key, but I made it go down to C# and that was such a beautiful sound. It made the instrument sound so far away and amazing. I hope I can use it in my game. I composed two new songs today. I have them recorded on a crummy tape recorder since a microphone I do not have. *Oh sniff sniff*

Still though...that instrument is very "cranky"...seriously. It needs to be tuned even after 10 minutes of playing. And you crank it... wheeee! Instrument joy! Ugh....I still don't have the sound perfect, well...tomorrow after I come back from sushi with Dani, to work I go to tune it up!

Ok, *pant gasp* even MORE things... I have more stuff to scan but I am away from my scanner, enjoying a weekend at my home instead of those dank haunted dorms. Haunted with squeaky roommate monsters that remind me of harpies. So serious...can't sleep there....And one day I found them mixing brownie batter in the bathroom. THE BATHROOM!!! DOUBLE YEW TEA EFF MATE?!?!?!?!

Jizzeees this was a long entry. Toodles!
