Would you mind very much if I asked you to entertain me?

[progmom]

I'm at loose ends. Procrastinating. Help me out.

Thanks!

[GOPisEvil]

1. I'm afraid I'm not feeling very entertaining tonight.

I think I need to put some happier music on.

Loose ends? Procrastinating? That sounds familiar.

[progmom]

5. I need better music too

Listening to a less-than-cheerful track.

[Zuni]

10. put on some ray Charles

I have been on a major ray Charles kick lately

I have "Night Time is the Right Time" on now :bounce:

[progmom]

15. oooh - that's great

[bertha katzenengel]

3. Ooh! Ooh! I have a good one if you can wait a couple of minutes. . .

a photo . . . I have to put it on photobucket. Can you wait a sec?

(oh, god, my sisters will kill me...)

[progmom]

6. I can wait!

I'm breathless with anticipation.

[bertha katzenengel]

13. Okay, well, now YOU'RE going to kill ME.

I promised my sisters I'd never show anyone that picture.

I'll try to find a few from photobucket that'll entertain you, though, okay? Sorry. Please don't kill me.

[progmom]

14. wow, i must be intimidating!

;)

[bertha katzenengel]

27. okay, here (dial up warning)

me in my new chair, a couple of weeks ago


the litter of kittens born in our basement on 9/11/01


a flock of fun and demanding birds in North Carolina's Outer Banks (ferry to Ocracoke) (yes, they ate from my fingers on the wing)


some of the local wildlife


the crew at the coffee house where I moonlighted back home


Tortie, one of our feral colony (note the tipped left ear, if you can see it)


my eldest nephew, 1987 (his hair is now way longer than mine was in that photo -- but he's cutting it off as soon as he can find a buyer)


Daddy, Guardian of the Waldorf Cat Haven


and last but not least, Petey schools Skittles


Hope this helps in your procrastination!

[XNASA]

26. That wouldn't be a problem if you were here now.

I've got the studio fired up and I'm recording some weird music.

[progmom]

29. oh. that sounds like a blast.

i love playing around in the studio! i got to spend a couple of days in the studio with a friend in NY last week. :D

[Zuni]

33. one of the best times I ever had

was cutting a disc with my old Rythym and Blues band in a home studio near Annapolis for several days. We got drunk and played like maniacs, cutting almost everything live.
Playing around with stuff to get the best sounds was amazing. I wish I had a studio where I could expeirement

[Zuni]

32. you have a home studio?

I have been into the Studio before---I even recorded with my old band in the best Studio in Maryland---Omega Studios in Rockville.

I miss studio sessions almost as much as live playing

[XNASA]

34. It's cozy, but functional.

16 track digital. The entire thing is about the size of a small suitcase. But, you know, there's a keyboard and a few guitars lying around within arms reach at all times.

I just ordered a new set of monitors today and I'm going to rearrange things when they get here. But I usually do a little work in the studio every night.

[Zuni]

36. you are a very lucky man

a sixteen track is pretty good. Do you have the computer drum program to set up your own beats?

I used to have the home studio recording thing for my computer, but lost it and my old computer in a fire.

[XNASA]

38. I have a couple of ways to program drums.

What I usually do is create my own by triggering the drum sounds with the keyboard.

But the 16tk has a bank of stereo drum patterns that don't count towards the 16 tracks. So it's really drums + 16 tracks.

The whole thing only cost about $1K. It's rudimentary but has lot's of storage space.

I used to have Cakewalk on my computer..........but it's more fun using proprietary gear I think.

[Zuni]

45. no doubt

My buddy used to have a four track back in the day and we had great fun with it. Much better than cakewalk.

[Zuni]

30. here is a collection of some of my favorite pics on photobucket

a red panda walking on two feet:


Blues master Hubert Sumlin (Howlin' Wolf's main guitar player for decades)

[progmom]

40. excellent

[Zomby Woof]

35. Yes I mind!

But I will anyway. :hi:

Shall I juggle? Gargle peanut butter? Play air piano to Monk?

[progmom]

39. oooooh - gargle peanut butter!

:popcorn:

[RevolutionaryActs]

37. So......

In other words, you're bored? :shrug:

[progmom]

41. in other words

maybe a little...

[RevolutionaryActs]

43. Come on....... you can say it

"I'm bored"


:P

[progmom]

49. naw

i'm not bored. just not utterly stimulated.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

46. alright then, how about a little magic??

--0000--






OK, now, close your eyes.........

OK, now you can open them........





00----00





Ta Daaaaaa!!!!!!!!

[progmom]

48. wow

your magical brilliance is astounding.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

52. Also I can stand on my hands...

I prefer to take my shoes off though, or else I scuff up my nail polish.

[Lannes]

50. "Let me entertain you"

Im straight though.Not that there is anything wrong with that :)

[progmom]

51. for some reason

that picture scares me


:scared:

[Lannes]

53. Attack of the chorus line

54. I was born on a full moon in 1729

The land was all ploughed that year, yet nothing was planted.

They say we lived off chimney scrapings and dirt bomb remnants. There was little reported, so verification becomes difficult.

Last night, I had the most delightful dessert - the "cookies and cream" ice cream, from a syndicated grocer's dairly case.

The cat is dying, so we're trying to enjoy her company as much as we can. We do that, we accrue interest, we reinvest dividends, we allocate assets. We gloat about particularly satisfying bowel movements in hard-assed text-based corners. I am only here for a short while. I am a camera. I love you.

[progmom]

55. thank you for that

sorry about your cat.
i've been there, with a dog. :hug:

[swag]

56. You're welcome.

Sorry to kill your thread, though.

[tjwmason]

57. I'm guessing that it's now too late

But I'd love to entertain you any time.

Put in your request and we'll see what we can do.

[In_The_Wind]

58. I've become very creative while mixing martinis

you could look at some of my snapshots while I build one
