Complaint-ish: Had another wonderful night at the symphony. Rossini's "Overture from An Italian in Algeria", Liszt's Piano Concerto #1, and Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony (The Pathetique).
The new 5000 seat amphitheater was about 2/3 full, it was a damp but cool evening, there was a slight breeze, the acoustics problems with the new amphitheater had been resolved. All was good except for that damn dog! 
One of the disadvantages of an open air amphitheater is that the passers-by outside the fence stop and listen. And on the campus of the Chautauqua Institute the walkways are within feet of the sunken bowl of the amphitheater and you have a lot of people who walk their dogs at night on the streets and for some reason think that the dogs would like to hear the music too.
One or two barks during the evening isn't bad, but tonight, right behind where I was sitting, not 15 feet away, some totteringly ancient decrepit centinarian was walking his dog and stopped to listen but the dog didn't want to stop so it barked. Once can be ignored, twice within a minute breaks the mood of listening. Tonight right in the middle of the most emotional part near the end of the 1st movement of "The Pathetique" the dog shattered my reverie. 
Three..., four, and I start muttering "damn dog". Five..., six, and I and others are looking directly at the guy with the dog, knife blades coming out of our eyes, yet he doesn't get the hint and just keeps shooshing his dog like a child but it ain't working. Seven..., eight, and there's blood coming out of my eyes. Nine..., ten, and I'm out of my seat heading for the selfish moron wondering how I'm going to get rid of that dog. And by that time, I noticed that several other people also in the back rows had gotten up and we were all approaching the guy behind the fence. Among the half dozen of us, we finally got through to him that he and his dog were not welcome and he should move on. The whole incident didn't last more than 3 or 4 minutes, but that had destroyed my concentration for the rest of the 1st movement and I didn't stop seething until the beginning of the 3rd movement. I hardly remember hearing the 2nd movement. I was really pissed that I had missed being lost in the magnificence of the end of the 1st movement (beginning @ 12:05) . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvgOVjgOZOw (check out: 12:05 through end, but especially catch 13:25 thru 15:00. It's the essence of the whole piece, it is pathos crystalized!)
I think what I was most pissed about was that we the audience shouldn't have had to handle the situation, the ushers should have jumped right onto the situation after the 2nd bark and moved the guy on.
I have a feeling that nice home will not be so nice for long. Those talons will tare up that apolstry like tissue paper!

...yeah used to have a keyboard like that with my old 386. Sadly everything today is either wireless or USB and they are made very cheaply.
My Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard isn't cheap. And I really like it. It is USB. I had a wireless one years ago but it didn't do well, so I ditched it. I actually bought a new one last year and retired the old one to be a backup.

...never liked those ergo keyboards. Learned decades ago on the standard ones and just got used to them.
Same for the style of peadalboard they use on organs here in North America and the UK which curve up at the ends with the pedals radiating slightly in relation to each other rather than being totally parallel. I prefer the flat parallel ones like found on the continent.
I slept on my shoulder wrong last night and it hurts.
I know the feeling :<
all by lonesomes at dayjob today.
tempted to d/l hexagon tutorial from my prodlib to watch
when i try to make clothes, quads get squished like in waist area,
i don't understand how they don't squish the quads. hoping tut will explain all.
if i can set the hexagon camera controls to be like wings3d, will speed up the learning curve.
sigh, not a cawffee day, need tea
is this in the C4D?
watched a 'The Cult' band interview, i didn't know they were British band. thought they were Canadians.
yeah a few of the labels wearing away.
if i buy this again, think of getting a spanish version, if they make it.
sometimes need hunting for the e' and n~ pin~a colada

a couple of words seeping from my subconscious. i thinnnk might be 'life in a northern town'? mebbe.
Very early Ian Astbury and the Cult, when they were goth punk band.
Yep probly.

i know who was buried in grant's tomb.
i remember the Alamo.
don't remember where Custard's last stand was and who they were fighting who ko'd him.
It was The Battle of the Little Bighorn and he was fighting several combined forces of Native Americans
TY
nothing to do with Grant. or the Alamo.
Little Bighorn sounds contradictory

i remember those big red bouncie ball seats.
Perhaps it was a smaller version of Big Bighorn?

so like, those robot vacuums are wifi these days, they collect data about your house.
and like, this dude ordered a beer engine. and the mfg used their shredder shreddings as packing material, and like, it was one of those cheesie shredders makes long strips, easily taped together, they sent their shredded bank statements. moral of the story, don't use your shreds as packing material.
Yah, it is. Default render engine as I haven't gotten around to reinstalling Vray or Indigo (And can't reinstall Maxwell at all bleh)
..there's still a Custard stand in my old hometown
