Michael's Texas Embrace

There are little green worms dangling from these texas trees on silk lines. Like, everywhere. What's up with that? Why does Texas have to have dangling worms in the Spring? I mean, everytime I leave my apartment I have to dodge little worms, drifting in the breeze (which makes them trickier to dodge--is the wind going to blow this next worm at my head? Or the other direction? It's sort of like living in an atari game, where you know you have to dodge something, but you don't know why, or when.) Often I will be on my way somewhere, or sitting down to eat lunch, or checking my email, and I will feel a faint sensation. It's always a worm. On my neck, on my arm--somewhere. Argh! Damn you, Texas! Damn your dangling, delayed-attack worms!

In other news, I am now saving up my money to hopefully buy an analog synth. If I can find one. A moog would be nice, but we will see. For now, I can dream of moogs. And play with a virtual one! Go to http://www.arturia.com/en/default.php and download the free demo of the minimoog V and get a little version of the classic moog on your desktop. It's all there! Flip the three oscillators to different wave forms, feel that sine wave! Kick that classic moog filter into high gear and crank that modulator wheel to the max. Oh yeah. If only I had a midi controller, I could play it with more than just my mouse. Andrew! Try out the moog! It makes those weird sounds we all dream of, late at night, in toaster mode.

Hey Murf, you and your dad should ditch the range finders and put out a line of affordable analog synths with wicked filters and three oscillators. I'd pay 500 bucks for one(well, if I had 500 bucks, sure.) It would need wood paneling, though. That might be tough. Bonk.

If anyone knows anyone with a moog rogue or prodigy to sell, let me know. Bonk! (if I had money to buy one... If anyone knows anyone giving away free money, let me know. )

Bonk!
