Is it always this lonely here...

[Stephanie Pray]

on a Friday night? I think I'm by myself. http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif So lonely...No one to talk to...

[SeanHannifin]

I should really go to bed . . . but once again, I'm up late writing music :D Of course, now my internal clock will once again go haywire and I'll be tired all week . . . :o

Well, this old fogey is here, trying to figure out why I deleted some old sound font files, cause now I will have to download them again! But this time, even though I may not use them, I will!! save them. Maybe.

[Stephanie Pray]

Oh no! That's not good news :) I hope that it works out ok :) and Sean, if your sleepy, you should go to bed :)

[SeanHannifin]

Oh no! That's not good news :) I hope that it works out ok :) and Sean, if your sleepy, you should go to bed :)
No . . . must . . . compose . . . :D You're probably right, though :D I'm on a roll, though, I finished planning out the entire piece and all I have left is to harmonize and orchestrate (which both take forever :eek: ) The piece is about 6:00 so far, a pretty long one for me! :D Maybe I'll call it a night soon . . .

[Stephanie Pray]

As you can tell, it's been a long time since I've done anything with a length longer than a minute :D It's a tough call... if you're on a roll you should probably keep going. I know that if I stop when I'm on a roll, I never seem to get rolling quite the same way as I was before I stopped. :)

[SeanHannifin]

Then on I go! :D I also need to do some laundry . . . machines tend to be more available in these wee morning hours :D

[Stephanie Pray]

Laundry at this hour? I guess if the machines are open now would be a great time to do it. :)

[SeanHannifin]

Just as I had hoped! All the machines are free! Laundry time! :D

[Stephanie Pray]

Whoopie! :) Laundry time :) (hopefully, your socks can't walk there themselves!);)

[SeanHannifin]

Well, the laundry's in! That will ensure I stay up late! :D 30 minutes in the machine, then 45 more in the dryer . . . whew

[Stephanie Pray]

You're in for a late night... I hope you have some coffee on :) I'm getting pretty bored and should probably go to bed soon. The dogs are outside the studio door whining... they get mad if I keep them up too late :D

[SeanHannifin]

I'm going to be so tired in the morning, I might have to sleep all day . . . but then again, I was planning to go to Washington DC to look at a museum as a homework assignment in one of my classes . . . I guess it will be a long day! :D

And my goodness, it is way too humid in these dorms! I'm starting to sweat! It's cold outside, the window is open, and the air conditioner is on right next to me, and I'm still way too hot . . . :( It's hard to sleep in these conditions anyway . . .

[Stephanie Pray]

That sounds miserable! There isn't much humidity here in Colorado. Usually really dry. :( I know that my computer can heat up the room as well as when I'm really concentrating, that makes it worse too :) Maybe if you run outside for a minute that would help??

[FredProgGH]

Dang guys, haven't you heard of IM-ing :D :D :D

(I'm doing laundry too- Luckily I live right over the apartment laundry room.)

[SeanHannifin]

Yeah, I might have to go outside for a while . . . :D And I'm sure having these two computers constantly heating up the room doesn't help at all . . . dorm life stinks . . . oops, my whiny troll! :D

[SeanHannifin]

Dang guys, haven't you heard of IM-ing :D :D :D

(I'm doing laundry too- Luckily I live right over the apartment laundry room.)
Mini chats on the forum are good for post count increasing . . . :D

[Stephanie Pray]

Whiny trolls are my least favorite trolls :)Hi Fred! :)

[FredProgGH]

Whiny trolls are my least favorite trolls :)Hi Fred! :)

Trolls- where did that come from?? :p

Oh, duh- never mind

[FredProgGH]

BTW, I lived in Denver (Littleton, actually) for about 7 years- making the transition to Tennessee weather almost killed me. You do not KNOW humidity until you move here. Only Florida is worse. And New Orleans.

[SeanHannifin]

Whiny trolls are my least favorite trolls :)Hi Fred! :)
Yeah, I must feed it too much. I have a tendency to whine a lot, forgive me :D The lazy and selfish trolls also make their presence known once and a while . . . oh, no, now I'm whining about the trolls!

[Stephanie Pray]

2 in a row for me and I didn't even realize that it was that time again!! :) 58,000!!!

There's a thread here about not feeding the trolls. It's a story that has different forms (sometimes the trolls are wolves etc). I can't explain the story right now... my mind just went completely blank. :(

[Stephanie Pray]

I went to Misery once and it was horrible. too much humidity :)

[SeanHannifin]

BTW, I lived in Denver (Littleton, actually) for about 7 years- making the transition to Tennessee weather almost killed me. You do not KNOW humidity until you move here. Only Florida is worse. And New Orleans.
My father was stationed in Florida years ago, since he's in the Coast Guard. Our family was going to move there, but the schools were terrible, the houses were too pricy, and my mother was pregnant, so we stayed in Virginia, while my father still had to work in Florida. That was miserable!

The whiny troll is having a lot of fun tonight! :D

[Stephanie Pray]

Maybe you need a cookie or ice cream. those stop whining at least temporarily :)

[SeanHannifin]

2 in a row for me and I didn't even realize that it was that time again!! :) 58,000!!!
My goodness, I didn't even notice! :D :D :D Congratulations!

[SeanHannifin]

*whine* *whine* there are no places that sell cookies or ice-cream open at this time *whine* *whine* :D :D :D Sorry!

I better go check the laundry . . .

[Stephanie Pray]

Thanks! :) I didn't mean to. Just chatting with my usual chatting buddy :)

[Stephanie Pray]

No 7-11 or gas station by you?

[FredProgGH]

Man. you don't know what a bullet you dodged. Of course, living on the beach is OK- you have that sea breeze. But inland Florida?? I'd rather die *lol* And the bugs. Mosquitos as big as your head. Swarms of them. Uggghh. :D

[Stephanie Pray]

No Thanks!! :) Since you're familiar with Littleton (which is right down the street from me :)) you know that the bugs aren't that big around here!! :) I'd have to run and hide if they were :)

[FredProgGH]

Well, I'm going to bed for my nightly non-sleep. Have fun you two. Turn out the lights when you leave :D

[Stephanie Pray]

Good night :)

[FredProgGH]

No Thanks!! :) Since you're familiar with Littleton (which is right down the street from me :)) you know that the bugs aren't that big around here!! :) I'd have to run and hide if they were :)

Yep, I know Morrison well. I went to Heritage High as well- one school over from you-know-where... :eek:

Denver is the best place I ever lived. Do you go to concerts at Red Rocks ever?? (of course you do :D)

[FredProgGH]

Arrggh-- I WAS going to bed :p

[Stephanie Pray]

I don't have to go I can hear it sometimes from my deck :) Same with Bandimere :)

[rwayland]

Downloads done. Now I remember why I didn't keep them. Well, dog is waiting for her midnight activity. So on with the raincoat, and out to the bushes and weeds.

My grandson is in Colorado, at a Buddhist something or other. But I couldn't say where, as I have spent little time in that state, and business matters kept me quite busy. I remember mostly that I had to sleep with a damp washcloth on my nose because the air was so dry in Colorado Springs.

Richard

[Stephanie Pray]

I'm sure he's having a good time. The weather isn't that bad right now, but we're expecting a lot of snow tomorrow :(

[FredProgGH]

D I remember mostly that I had to sleep with a damp washcloth on my nose because the air was so dry in Colorado Springs.

Richard

Sniff--- how I miss it...

[FredProgGH]

OK that's it. G'nite!! :D (poof)

[josejherring]

Moviemaestro, I'm an old married man and my wife and kid have gone to bed. That's why I'm hear on a Friday night.

But you. You seem like a striking young lady. No date or anything?

Sorry if too personal. You don't have to answer. I'm a very nosey person from time to time.

Cheers,

Jose

[Stephanie Pray]

G'Night :)

[Stephanie Pray]

Hi Jose!

Thanks for the compliment! I'm married to a great guy who was just too tired to stay up any longer. I on the other hand have trouble sleeping so that's why I'm here :)

[SeanHannifin]

I know I'm just a college student with a messed up internal clock who socializes through the computer . . . no dates for me! :D Maybe someday . . . :o

[Stephanie Pray]

Of course you'll have dates! :) Geez... Mr. Negativity :)

[josejherring]

Ahh, makes more sense. I thought some lucky young guy would snatch you up in a hurry.

By the way. When's your next piece of music coming? I'm going to do an experiment next. I'm going to do some music just to satisfy my own curiosity. I haven't written music just for me in a while. I'm curious to find out where I'm at these days.

Jose

[SeanHannifin]

How do you like my new siggy? :D Perhaps it goes along with my whiny nature :o . . . but I think it might be true for more people than me . . .

[josejherring]

I know I'm just a college student with a messed up internal clock who socializes through the computer . . . no dates for me! :D Maybe someday . . . :o

I think dates will usually find you if you're not really looking for them. Just keep an eye out on what young lady looks interested in you. And remember, girls love the artist types. ;)

[Stephanie Pray]

Gee I'm blushing over here!! :)

Well, I did rework a few things on the last demo. I posted it here tonight. I think that it's better now. (thanks for the help :)) I look forward to hearing your experiment. I think that's a great idea! You deserve to do it for yourself :)

[SeanHannifin]

Of course you'll have dates! :) Geez... Mr. Negativity :)
Maybe if I take a music class next semester I can meet someone with similar interests! :)

[Stephanie Pray]

I bet you will :) Lots of cute musician girls :) Just what you need :)

[SeanHannifin]

I think dates will usually find you if you're not really looking for them. Just keep an eye out on what young lady looks interested in you. And remember, girls love the artist types. ;)
Thanks for the encouragement! :D Unfortunately there are all these guys who can play the guitar that seem to be more popular . . . :D I don't mean to be too prideful, but I'm sure my music is better than theirs . . . :D

[josejherring]

I like to help. It's really cool to help musicians. I'll take a listen to your piece on Monday when I can crank it through the studio monitors. Until then. Goodnight and give your dogs a pat for me.

Cheers,

Jose

[Stephanie Pray]

Older girls know better... :)

Thanks Jose, I will, Good night :)

[SeanHannifin]

I bet you will :) Lots of cute musician girls :) Just what you need :)
We'd share one big interest: me! :D :D :D Oops! Ego troll! :D

[Stephanie Pray]

I'm only trying to help!! :D I don't mind Ego troll too much!! I feed mine a lot - I bet you couldn't tell though :p Yeah right...:(

Uh Oh - Mood Swing troll caused from being too sleepy...

I should probably go to be soon. Is your laundry done yet?

[SeanHannifin]

It's probably healthy to have to ego troll somewhat active, otherwise the self-pity troll takes over! :D

Laundry will be done around 4:00 AM, so it will still be a long night for me . . . :D

My goodness, this thread has over 50 responses already! :D

[Stephanie Pray]

Oops!!

4:00? It's 1:35 here. :eek: Maybe laundry wasn't such a good idea... :(

[SeanHannifin]

Oops!!

4:00? It's 1:35 here. :eek: Maybe laundry wasn't such a good idea... :(
Yep! :D I forgot all about the time difference! I guess I'm 2 hours ahead . . .

Still, it's good to get the laundry done now, it's usually really crowded, even during this time of day (night, morning, whatever).

[JohnnyP]

Wife's out of town and I just got in from a 11:10PM show of Sin City. Very stylized, the music though hmmm was there any. I can't seem to think of anything too memorable. Ohhhh I got to deliver a mix in the morning

Jonathan

[Stephanie Pray]

That's true. There's nothing worse than accidentally getting someone else's laundry mixed in with yours cause there's too many people around and too many clothes... Yuckie :)

[DPDAN]

I just tuned in and read some of this stuff, and what a hoot you all are :p
I'm going to bed now, but Sean, your post made me laugh outloud.

"laundry should be done around 4am" .... that is hilarious!

dpDan

[Stephanie Pray]

Good luck with your mix! There's not much time though. Was the movie really gory? I'm afraid to see it because of the things that I've heard...

[Stephanie Pray]

Good night DPDAN :)

[DPDAN]

nighty nite,, have fun.... :)

[SeanHannifin]

I'm going to bed now, but Sean, your post made me laugh outloud.

When I'm about to die, I will say "The comedy is over." :D :D :D

[JohnnyP]

Well I did a rough before I left for the flick, but I told the producer I let her hear a rough before it airs.

In regards to the movie Ms. Maestro: Hmmmm well yeah. I mean Elijah Wood aint no Frodo in this bad boy! But the violence is very over the top. Gory but not realistic
The only other Frank Miller stuff I had read was Dark night. This was a very good film, but over the top. It kinda remind me of Kill Bill, but Rodriguez isn't braggin like I felt Tarantino did. good, see it agian, no.

OH yeah there is this modern noior music. it kind of reminds me of that group Morphine with the Baritone Sax.

Jonathan

[Stephanie Pray]

So, 10 more minutes and the laundry's done?

[Stephanie Pray]

Cool, I'm going to wait till it's on PPV. That way, I can leave the room if it gets too bad!! I want to see it though. :)

[SeanHannifin]

So, 10 more minutes and the laundry's done?
Yep! And then a few minutes of folding . . . or maybe I will just throw it all on the floor . . . :D

[Stephanie Pray]

If you throw it on the floor, you'll have to spend hours ironing :eek:

[SeanHannifin]

If you throw it on the floor, you'll have to spend hours ironing :eek:
Or I could just hope nobody notices . . . :eek:

[Stephanie Pray]

That's true, but believe me... girls notice ;)

[SeanHannifin]

That's true, but believe me... girls notice ;)
Ah, maybe that explains why I never have a date . . . :D

[Stephanie Pray]

Maybe http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif Girls are really weird about that sort of thing :)

[SeanHannifin]

Maybe http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif Girls are really weird about that sort of thing :)
In that case, I'll be sure to fold them! :D Better go check the laundry now, it might be done, it's about 4:00 AM . . . I guess I should just go ahead and stay up for the rest of the night/morning . . . go to bed early tonight I suppose . . .

By the way, if you've never stayed up for over 48 hours, it's quite an experience! You will experience hallucinations . . . those things are weird . . .

[Stephanie Pray]

I have done that before - It can be really creepy :eek: and really cool :cool: at the same time. Hate to leave you by your lonesome, but I think that I'll go to bed now. Have a good rest of the night/early morning! :) Good luck on your newest work :) Thanks for chatting again. :)

Have good night, thanks again for the chat! It's always fun! :D

I might take nap for a couple hours, I hate when my mind starts to wander . . . now to fold the laundry! :D

[rwayland]

How do you like my new siggy? :D Perhaps it goes along with my whiny nature :o . . . but I think it might be true for more people than me . . .

Reminds me of the signature attributed to Igor Stravinsky, but he did not have a green background handy.
