No Curtains

In Winter I like no curtains. That way the sunlight comes right into the house and keeps my tired eyes wide awake. Who am I kidding, I pull the covers right up over my head.

No, really, it's that in Winter, I like no curtains. I'll maybe hang a blue Mexican blanket over the window with tacks, but that puts too many holes in the wall. I've got no curtains for that room. And no rods either. There maybe used to be. There maybe used to be rods up on that window. Maybe I'd spent some time thinking and fussing and saying "I don't really need to spend this money. I don't want to spend this money. This is a silly waste of money."

And then I'm thinking, well, you know, what am I waiting for? Everyone can see into this window.

I'm just in their sleeping. I'm not doing anything else, or watching television. Or sorting through things that maybe I'd have been wiser to not have gotten. Too many things, collections of this, collections of that. Too much time not enough stuff. Come a snow storm you worry how can I ever account for all these silly and retrograde hobbies? Music CD. Toy Cars. Old Hummels that I inherited. Decorations of glass. Old thumb tacks. My Mother's knitting box tin. Other things. Too many things.

And I think about it when they find some old king dead with all his gold, some dead king from some calamity, it all seems so far fetched that they would all die there together like that, like it was part of a scene from a movie made in California, not made in Ninevah.

They find that old dead king and his whole crew (display was at the U.Penn mueseum). He had all kinds of gold accutruments. Curtains? I don't remember seeing curtains.

So somewhere along the way I broke down and bought the drapes for the room. I used them for a while. They are that kind with the backing that you only really like them when there is a blizzardy chill, and the world is spitting ice. The Winter howls are attenuated by the thick polyester and double lining of insulative backing.

As soon as the Sun comes out we want to wish them out of existence. My empire of stuff devoid now of shade, neither a day shade or a night shade.

The house was bright in the morning. Now that it is evening, I am glad for the shades and curtains.

Design idea: Window curtians that don't exist during the day, when the sun is out, but magically reappear in the evening when they are needed, or if you want them for privacy.

He seems to like a girl whose got junk

And if you think that he's that way at work

I may quickly be posting some cuts,
musical cuts, here.
select cuts.
Selected cuts.
Cuts of music.
Doctored music.

I've got a way to effect the sound
that enhances the sweet and removes 
dischordants. 
Basically use a form of resonance.
In addition I add an ambiance that
involves a phase shifting, sometimes sever.
It can be startling in how it makes the other
part sound as it stand to the side and adds

a kind of . . . 
i want to use the word ambiance again, but I won't.
It creates a soundscape inwhich I can place my
part of music.

And then if I speed it up I will also change the pitch
so that it sounds like it's just being played faster.
Also I will make an echo track of some V  or VII diminished,
and have the input gain way low, so we hear an echo of something
that we don't hear in the first place.
It can really create some interesting effects.

Also I have a chart of overtones and undertones and also
periods of one cycle of the frequences, and
multiples of those. So I choose an echo delay from
that chart, so if the song is in the key of E you could
echo in a multiple of the III or the V of that, which
allows for some tuned echo, and gives a very
fine resonant quality.

I do all of this in Audacity, which, is surprisingly 
stable and solid.
It will not read mp3, but it will output them.

If I get bold I'll put my music up.

Bright and Sunny!
Enjoyable Day!

Veterans deserve
your thanks.

Thank you

how hard is it to use these new symbols in your stuff? Well, first you need to know that they exist. Second, you can just cut and paste them.

I've got a message for . . . Mr Bash (an alias for someone else). Mr Bash, if I use brace expansion with the dot-dot idiom, ie like this:

echo -e {🌃..🌅}{🌍..🌏}{🌑..🌚}" "

why does that not work when

echo -e {🌃,🌄,🌅}{🌍,🌎,🌏}{🌑,🌒,🌓,🌔,🌕,🌖,🌗,🌘,🌙,🌚}" "

will? Maybe I've not ordered the elements properly. Well that little snippit doesn't work that well but t

well . . .

May you always love the snarky know-it-all.

Especially when they are at their most annoying, and dead wrong on the subject.

Sychophancy is so pathetic: the hacker army.

there is no hacker arm mee. He got to that place where he was afraid of his own jokes laughing too hard at things that only he heard and only he would find funny thoughts like that he imagines them putting them into his head like words he types into his blog he thinks it like that even when the music isn't playing anymore It could be. It could be. You and your musical retrofonts and too-fast-iz-zation of sound making an ordinary piece of practice sound like a dance jam at Bay to Breakers. Shake it, there, Sugar Bear . Shake it shake it shuggar bear let's all have another beer And see the crazy stuff that folks'll wear when they absolutly have no fear. Praise God!
