Vivaldi-less (part 2)

So I put a web page up about the music I mentioned in yesterday's blog. I mentioned my mouse broke. So I went to Wal-Mart to get a new mouse. I had no idea there was such a thing as a fancy gaming mouse. I was looking at those, which cost anywhere between $40-$80 before I found the regular mouses (mice?). I pondered whether I should get one with a cord or without. The one with a cord, the cord was only two foot long, which I feared would be too short. So I went with the wireless mouse. It came with batteries. It is really great and much better than my other one. It was $10.

 

While there, I took a look at the toy section. I found the Micro Machines. I bought a five car set for $10. Packaging was shot, so I'm going to open it and get the cars out. That was $10 as well. Well, not REALLY $20 since every store has to price stuff a little less than prices ending in .00 (which is stupid) so I ended up with a nickel and a dime in change. I got home and noticed my mouse came with batteries. And it was made in Vietnam. It works like a charm.

 

And my package I got from eBay where the idiot seller used FedEx to ship it, it took a week to travel cross country, but it is finally in my state. But I suppose I'm the only person in the world who still uses actual cash. I don't want a credit card because I don't want to go into debt. I figure if I don't have any more paper money then I can't buy anything. Not so with a credit card. And that's how people get into debt and then bankruptcy. So I use cash.

If you have a debit card connected to your bank account, you can't spend more than your bank allows. If you have no credit on your card/account, once you're down to $0 it is game over. Only if you have a true credit card which comes with a monthly invoice and possibility to split the payment over several months, you can put yourself into debt.

And yes, I had a couple listens to some of your works. Your music really flows along, like a river which might be the host of anything floating in it. I believe I'm trying too hard to find longer melody lines and harmonic progressions which causes me to not be as productive in number of minutes of music, plus that I tend to write for more instruments/parts at the same time which of course takes more work and yields less music.
