The hilarity of my icon

[wednes]

Actually, I'm only going to briefly mention the hilarity of my icon. Someone at Facebook posted the entire yearbook from 1985, which means I was 14 when this lovely pic was taken. I am wearing, as you can see a puffy sweater covered in hearts. I'm pretty sure my hair is a grown-out mullet. Now you know my secret shame...

I've been learning Garage Band. It's alarmingly easy and I think the internal mic sounds okay when I play it back. I'm wondering if I really need to invest in a Zoom H2 recorder at all. So tell me, those of you who record or podcast, what kind of mic are you using? How does it sound? What would you suggest to someone who doesn't really know what the hell she is doing? I'm leaning toward buying the H2, but I'd also like to start putting up podcasts before I will actually have the money to buy it. So I might start out just using the internal mic, unless that would turn out to be a big waste of my time. I'm manic right now so I'm having trouble deciding anything.

Also, if anyone wants to give me some free intro-outro music, that would be swell. (I'm looking at YOU, peteralway) Something that is serene and creepy at the same time would be ideal.

Still very manic, as I was saying. I should be writing, but I'm mostly listening to music and watching all the new sheep I just downloaded for electric sheep. That thing is SO wicked awesome. Anyway, I need to finish my short story. I can't believe I'm under 3 different writing deadlines. Soon I'll be as sought after and hardworking as smarbaby. Wouldn't THAT be neat? :-]

I'm pretty sure I had a similar sweater around the same age that had clovers instead of hearts.

'Twas a "magically delicious" time for knitted attire.

It really was. I think I had another sweater with a unicorn on it. Like most people of the female persuasion, I was very into unicorns for a time...

*sigh*

Whoa. If you ever find that unicorn sweater, I want it. Unicorns and mullets! Best combo EVAH!

LOL

I had sweatshirts with bunnies and/or kittens. And big perm-y bangs. Oh, the horrors!

I'm posting from the library, so I'm kind of guessing from memory, but here are the instrumental pieces that I recall being at least in some way dark, if not actually creepy, or well, kind of serene. I'm sure most are grossly wrong, but it's at least a shorter listening list.

Oh, dear, that's a long list, but for the most part if you listen to a few seconds of each, you can tell if it's anything you'd want to loses.

Each comes from an editable Melody Assistant file, so if you want one changed or shortened, or something is close to what you want, I can play with it for you.

Dude, you are AWESOME!!!
Thanks a zillion.

I wouldn't buy a zoom, there are plenty of move that will plug into your computer (you have to have a usb mic for the mac), that would be just fine. We can talk about it this week.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay.

[kjtoo.livejournal.com]

And on that note, I use a Zoom H2 and it's pretty awesome.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

They've gotten good reviews, and we have them at my work, so I can get a discount on top of the Amazon price match.

Thanks for the input!

I love the young Wednes pic. And I'm very proud of you for all your writing deadlines, all at once. You're a real professional!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Sounds like, right?
I think I'll be more professional once I get paid big monies for making all these deadlines!

Thanks!!

Yeah, but did you have one of those rainbow shirts where the rainbow went up one sleeve, across the chest, and down the other sleeve?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

lol

I didn't.
But I should have...
