I'm just going to rename the blog "Fuck Grading"

Seriously.

Was jamming tonight on the old git-fiddle, which is always fun. Learning a new song, but this comes easier each time. Decided that subjects are no longer that important to sentences.

Anyway, I love my Korg A3 so very much. It has such great noises in it. Miraculous noises. I am currently looking for another one just in case mine should ever die. They stopped making these particular rack-mounted effects in the early nineties. As far as I can tell, what's out there is what's left. It was a great piece of equipment with a beautiful tone. Everything sounds professional coming through it. Even if I totally fuck up, it sounds like I fucked it up professionally. I got my first one for about $100. It was used and I don't think that it is in complete working order. I can only use the presets, because if I were to futz around with the settings, I could not save them. To get to the effects chains I need reset factory settings every time I turn it on. But the factory settings are freaking exquisite. Love it love it love it.

Today I gave my talk on What the BLEEP Do We Know!? It was my first talk on it. My students were stunned by what I had put them through. Apparently there is a 300 minute long director's cut which nobody has ever watched ever. My reading quiz question was, "Name one utterly inappropriate thing that Amanda (Marlee Matlin's character) does at the wedding reception."

In my next class, I will be giving them my lecture about how to become a cult leader. Heehee.
