i don't even remember the last time i was on here. wait i'll check. the last remaining post was Nov. 2. the post that used to be more recent had to be taken off for personal reasons.
you remember the post with the puppy. well, it turns out that i am quite the weak one when it comes to multi-tasking and being responsible for something else (that breathes.) we brought the puppy back to the Oregon Humane Society where she was almost immediately adopted again. so no worries there.
so what else have i been up to you ask. well, i'm glad you care.
i finished the first version of the score for "1 In 9". if you want to check out one of the more major cues in the film go here to my music myspace and click on the song titled "final drawing." tell me what you think.
also, i've been busy with school (of course) but for real, this is the hardest i've worked at school, ever. and i think that my grades will reflect that, so that's good. one very positive side effect of the work i'm putting in is my music theory prof, who is also one of the composition professors said that i am a go to enter the composition class this winter term. for me that's a pretty big thing because i would have otherwise had to wait until next fall to do any composition (in school.)
my family came to visit for thanksgiving during which time we also celebrated our commercial christmas. i received an xbox 360 and Gears of War...a very fun game, that makes me grateful our world will never be invaded by an alien locust horde, or some sort of viral infestation (I HOPE.)
i also celebrated my 26th birthday also. it was awesome. i recieved from my parents perhaps the greatest guitar known to man. a taylor limited edition electroacoustic priceless piece of wood.
i am currently working on book 5 in the harry potter series.
checking out some music to prepare myself for composition. i learned that we will be writing a piece for string quartet to be played (if it's good enough) by a guest quartet. sweet!
am currently saving my scratch (or money for you non-street savvy peeps (people for you non-street...)i think you get the idea) for the new complete recordings of the Two Towers, Elfman's Serenada Schizophrana, and Navarrete's Pan's Labyrinth...which you can check out here if you go to the "interact" button and go to soundtrack. it has full stereo cues, in what i think is full quality. weird. i wonder if they're worried about people recording the stream? oh, if you record the stream. email me because i would like a copy.
so...sorry to keep everyone in the dark like that. i will try to make that a less frequent occasion.

stream recorded... just have to split it now. ooooh... xbox 360. i am jealous. i'd be jealous of the guitar too, but as you are aware, i know nothing of the gee-tar.
Ooh...I'm jealous of your Taylor. I'm planning to get one myself...maybe a Baby or a Big Baby. What do you think?
Well here's an idea...you could get on the internet and order yourself an actual CD copy of the album you dirty pirate - stop, thief...THIEF!!! (or not, whatever works for you - hehe).
Ditto on the whole x360 jealousy thing btw...
Glad to have you back, old boy!
I'm not much of a gamer so I'm afraid I can't share in the envy of the others on that front. BUT...
Serenada Schizophrana...awesome.
The Two Towers: Complete Recordings...awesome.
"Final Drawing" seems pretty cool. I'll be interested to hear it (and the rest of the score) up against the final film (which I really want to see!).
And in case you didn't already know...for string quartet study: the late Beethoven quartets, the Bartok quartets and the Shostakovich quartets. If you're looking for a model, that is.
You'll have to tell me more about the cartoon music class! Now that sounds like fun. I think a lot of the old animated shorts helped shape my own love of classical music when I was a kid.
