musica antiqua

Post 45 of 90.

I went to see Musica Antiqua play Classical and Medieval music at a Starbucks in Cincinnati. They used period instruments, cheating only slightly by using some amplification. I finally got to meet my MySpace friend Tina in person, and also briefly talked with Christian the percussionist. Very nice people.

During the performance, the barrista on duty loudly brayed into her cell phone about something "Angela" had said, and someone needed to tell Angela something or other or whatever. Clueless.

Back home, I played around with the Strike plugin in ProTools and practiced on the Ovation. This was one of those sessions when the guitar just felt really good in my hands.

ProTools succeeded in crashing OSX three times tonight. Amazing.

I definitely need a more powerful machine.

I've developed a strong suspicion regarding a possible RAM thief, someone who may have had unsupervised access to my laptop for a significant amount of time. But, my recollection is fuzzy and it's one of those things I could never prove.

Who knows?

I'm not prone to being suspicious of my friends and acquaintances, but experience over many years has taught me that "friend" does not always equate to "trustworthy." I rarely place unwarranted and uncritical trust in anybody these days, so on some level it's not even a big deal. It just comes with the territory, I guess. I can't control them. I can only work on myself, and I place my focus on the beam in my own eye.
