try capoeira
Ouch! 18 months ago

I went to a conditioning class, which the local capoeira studio is holding to help people get ready for actual capoeira. I got through it, but it was rough. I knew I was out of shape, but I had no idea just how stiff I am. I was planning on taking a second class this week, but I was too sore, so I’ll have to wait until next week to try again.

Learn to program synthesizers (read all 2 entries…)
Getting there 19 months ago

A friend of mine, who is a like-minded fan of electronic music, came over for a jam-session. It went pretty well, but we spent more then half our time trying to figure out how to get the MIDI stuff to play nice. We had two out of three manuals, so we got far enough to realize what we needed to learn.

After a while, we gave up and jammed with cheesy drum-tracks, which was also good. I’m starting to get the hang of the Juno-6, although I still have to try and interface it with the theremin eventually.

Tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue
Fun, but not really that sexy. 20 months ago

Practice practice practice. It helps to like ice cream sundays and/or Manhattan cocktails.
