i got a refurbed macbook pro. it's so nice and pristine and fast. my old powerbook was having some serious hd issues while i was on my "tour" (mostly i faked my way through them- oh such stress at stfu athens) and it was down to either replacing the hd or getting a new laptop. and since i haven't been able to upgrade live or reason cause i was afraid they wouldn't run good, it was time to get a new computer. so yay! it's all empty now, but i have a show this sunday so i'm gonna have to fill it up with some sounds. backing up the old powerbook as i write- but lots of corrupt files. 
i have 2 shows coming up actually- one with mochipet and one with venetian snares. booyah! and i'm gonna try to play some summer festivals in these parts if i can.
i haven't been writing any music lately though- just one on the aeroplane last month. it's sad- hopefully that will change now that i have this new laptop! yay!
i also haven't been here much- well i have but it's all been lurky. dunno why. so, how are you?
ps. i love the magnetic plug. yes, it's a simple thing, but considering that my powerbook has a massive dented corner cause of tripping over power cables, this is rad. ah simple pleasures.

15 inch 2.4 intel core 2. stock ram for now, but i plan to buy more.
holy crap while trying to use migration assistant to back up my mail etc last night, i got an error saying the drive on my old laptop was failing. migration assistant couldn''t even see it as a target so i had to manually transfer the folders onto a firewire drive. now mail will only import sorted messages, but not my inboxes. i'll fix it, but what a pain. glad i got everything off though..... yikes!

like a fat man, who dies in your hallway and isn't discovered for weeks.

although not as bad as a friend who lives in a building where someone literally blew up after decomposing and the only way they found out was when something was leaking into the apartment below.

that reminds me, I haven't seen Astoid post for a few days. Plus, I hear something dripping.

we all know he's busy doing something awesome like scoring a film or mixing the sound track for a film or walking his dog and writing songs while holding a plastic bag full of dog poop.
