Hi Natty! How are you? I hope you are keeping healthy and safe. Study hard! I finally received my first online order today, right in the middle of Mary Unknown7's vocal session. Well technically, it's not my first mail order. I used to order lots of stuff from Musician's Friend back in the States, but it was from a paper catalog. The online sales process (and delivery time) is the same, just paperless. But it was a USB condenser microphone for Mary. Dang! I forgot to check if it had a monitor out! Looks like I'll have to buy another one with a monitor out, and it looks like I won't be exchanging Mary's presidential microphone (it's a Shure SM57) any time soon. She prefers that microphone anyway, but large diaphragm condenser mics have a wider range, and I'm sure the world wants to hear all the rasp and gargle. I'll see what I can do with this one first. I haven't tested it yet. I just barely opened the box at sunset. It's a "Rofeer", and it came straight from mainland China! I guess the Chinese don't bother with hijacking US brand names anymore nowadays. It's all the same old shit anyway. It's nice and heavy, and the hardware is all metal too. It's probably made from dried up bat's blood. Just kidding! I had a lot to do today. I had to pick up my parents' meds in the morning after I blew the dust out of my house, then I went to the supermarket, and I ate out for lunch. I bought some fish heads at the supermarket, so that's what I had for dinner, with white rice and hot sauce I made yesterday. I love fish heads! I also bought a chunk of meat which I cooked to death in the leftover broth from steaming the fish heads. With cheap cuts of meat folks, it doesn't matter if it mostly gristle and fat, it all melts nice and soft if you cook it long enough. But use a small fire!
Linden Labs has been messing around with its viewer updates lately, so much that it's becoming unusable. I am sure they'll fix the problems, but I had to switch to Firestorm today, which is the choice of most SL veterans. Firestorm does seem to have more options for photography that doesn't break my meager computer, so I'm sure you folks will notice the difference beginning tomorrow.
