I probably shouldn't blog while sleepy, ha? So often I am in such dark moods at such times.

I'm not so bad as we speak..

I guess its about time to start buying lots of stuff. I payed off one credit card via online banking, my first time attempting such a feet.. and now it's time to get in touch with that credit card company.. and make sure the transaction went as it was supposed to.. as it wasn't reflected in my last bill...

Mean while I have the.. family PR campaign to wage. Lets call her aunt 1.. she thinks I shouldn't pay off all the credit card bills... as it would cause me to run out of money faster.. I haven't spoken a word about my tool investment to anyone in the family.. I imagine they would freak... but still I don't understand there anxiety about me running out of money.

According to her estimate of how much money needs to be spend for.. just daily living.. assuming I wasn't spending money on other things.. I could go on as I currently am.. for like.. a few years anyway. I should like to find some sort of employment between now and then! This even with my "personal projects" taking center stage.. not only that.. but if I don't pay off the credit cards.. thats more money being eat'n up by nothing but interest... and as I tried to explain to Aunt ! Just because I pay them off doesn't mean I can't continue to use them... So if I paid them all off.. had sometime without paying interest.. and then by the end of our adventure... managed to get those credit card bills where they are prior to being payed off.. why.. I've saved some money, right?

The apparent good news is.. I, nore my father, are responsible for any of the credit card bills that were just in my mom's name... Thanks to MA state laws. This means I have more money then I thought I had.

I imagine part of it must be that they don't realize how cheap I am.. that I don't like spending money on anything.. and will go to elaborate lengths not to spend money. Well.. accept when it comes to my studio.. but still, if you read over my recent writings on the subject.. I'm clearly not given to wild spending there ether.. more like lots of anxiety over what I am spending.. actually.. what I haven't even spent yet! I must do lots of research first.. that's my mantra.. or something like that.

A little latter:

I'm now attempting it a chat thing.. for support with my web host.. in the hopes that they can help me get into my site... if they can.. and I can get to my email.. then I can get my reason.. well not serial number.. but whatever it is I have to do to get it to work.. a code thing.. I'm told to type in full sentences as each answer can take 2-4 minutes.. which sounds a little crazy.. on the other hand it is 1 20 am as I write this..

On the TV plays La Doce Vita.. I believe the same guy who did the score for this did the Godfather.. and it's a little creepy how it reminds me of the Godfather... as this is like.. a way older movie.. from what, 60s or 70s or somethng.

Latter still:

I got in! Wow.. so I started my first Reason project on my Mac Pro. Finally something I can dig into! It's been long enough since I had worked with Reason 4.. it kind of took me a little while to reorientate myself to the software. "How do I do this again? But in not too long.. I was doing pretty good.

So, impressions? It's hard to tell.. I'm really going to have to dig into Reason for a while before I have a real sense of how working on a Mac Pro will effect my reason work. It's via using "the combinator device" that you push your computer. The combinator holds within it a combination of instruments and effects.. thus, each time you add an instance.. you are adding an instance of a whole number of devices...

The trouble is that I don't have my keyboard attached to the computer yet.. I don't know how much of a pain this will turn out to be to connect that up, but that's really the next next step I think.

On thing I'll say.. having a 24" HD display is really great.. but it instantly becomes clear, as soon as I jump into Reason.. that I really want that second display.

Ok, lets edit this and post..
