That sounds simple enough. Do you have any recomendations for an effects program and an instrument program? I like distortion and grainy sounds.

Spent a few hours making an experimental ambient track with no percussion and basically all bells. I saved it and went to open it again, and nothing saved :cry:

played for an hour yesterday. legs were too sore for strings so mostly tried single tricks with jere.
-spinning gyro osis>string *new trick*
-flip spinning blender a few more times
-tried to figure out clean surging. Mine end up pulled majority of the time. It'll take a lot more work.
-footed spinning blender>montage

edit: if you haven't seen 'Life Free or Die Hard', and you like action movies, and the die hard series, this movie is perfect for you. It's BAD ASS!

I'm back in Eugene, and kickin' with the EFA. Should I post in their blog? I don't know.

Anyways, good session. Most of my longer strings had lots of 5s in 'em. I broke my consecutive sole tap record with 21. I've been trying to incorporate new tricks into strings so that I don't forget them. Aaron was busting out all over the map. James was holdin' it down too. A couple of new people came to kick.

Just experiment. I haven't even really touched the surface of VST/i's.

Had 2 more sessions yesterday. The first was solo and the second was with Jere and Evan. Evan was trying dlo and out of no where hit smog>smog.

-alternating xbdy rake x8 *new record*
-side>blur>park>blizzard>dimwalk>side>blur>park>blizzard>dimwalk>rpt
-ultra toey ps flux
-beta fog twice *new trick*
-vortex rake *new trick*
-mobius-screw a few times (this feels easier than torquesrew. I think it's because that mirage leg is already up as opposed to planting for the regular version)

22 sole taps (broke the old record by 1)

Blurry blender with a sepa sepa

a 50+ contact run w/ lots of fives

second place 3/6 times in a 12 person rippin' run

I was late for dinner, but it was worth it.

-2189 alternating inside kicks (one right toe kick at a little over 1000 :x )

Props on the kicks. That's way badass. I can't wait to hear the new track Hanz. I haven't touched FL in almost 2 weeks I think. I've been writing songs on my keyboard by actually playing them :P A lot. I think I write at least 3 songs/riffs a day.

I also forgot to tell you, but I have your Planet Footbag shorts that I borrowed at SJFF. I think I lost them somewhere in my room, my room which is actually a closet. I also still can't find the 32 you gave me, again. I haven't played footbag since a couple days after SJFF.

No Worries (Jam)es

Got an e-mail from oxana yesterday. she'll be in san francisco in may and might stay in missoula for a few days.

Christmas was pretty good. got a coffee mug with a built in stash compartment. It holds 8 tablespoons of coffe grounds, or weed. lol

messed my hip up on christmas eve. Slipped on a steep ass driveway, flew about 4 feet in the air, and landed with all my weight on the left hip.

Jere gave me a 3disc james brown collectors set, all live. "In the Hot Pants!!"

Shouldn't write this in here, but I don't care. I've been super horny lately. Come visit me Zac Miley! I'll bake you cookies. the special ingredient is GHB. j/k

ummmmm, pretty much just wasting time at work right now.

Downloaded tons of Effects VSTs at work. my computer won't recognize them. Dag!

Riley, your worst nightmare came true...your computer has a virus. Suckage! I'll try to get someone to fix it before you come back. The one time you don't take your computer with you.

Make sure the VSTs are in the right directory or FL won't find them.

Virii are nothing. Just run the usual programs (ad-aware, spybot SD, hijackthis) and everything should be fine. It's pretty easy shit.

I've ran all those programs, except for hijackthis, and it seems like they just can't locate this virus.

filmed some single tricks last night. had atomic opp symp dlo off the foot a few times. Don't know how. hit one of my dream links into a string: fury>fusion. also hit archnemesis 4 times. May have accidentally hit symp whirr trying frontside fury.

edit: also had the fastest barraging set I've ever done during one attempt and the bag flew up and hit me in the sternum. I wish it would've gone straight up.

my gpa has finally dipped below a 3.0 and is now sitting at 2.97. That means that I have to slay the next semester.

I don't know man. This might be a challenging semester and I've never gotten straight A's before. I'll definitely try though.
1. Phil 300 - Systematic Ethics
2. Hist 381 - Modern Japan
3. Phil 362 - Greek & Roman Philosophy
4. Psyc 336 - Child & Adolescent Disorders
5. Psyc 371 - Human Neuropsychology


Came close to straight A's once senior year of high school. Had 5 A's and one 89%, 1% away from an A. Since then I've lost hope

Swirls started coming back yesterday. Hit flip spinning butterfly swirl for the first time. It feels better than the strong, so maybe it is the strong? I don't know though, I suck at both sides.

Drilled osis>gyro clip>gyro clip>rpt, osis>gyro clip>infinity>rpt, and tiltless

8 alternating consecutive dynos. old record was 3.

started my 2nd string with dyno>gyro swirl>string. tried it a whole bunch of times throughout the session and didn't hit it again.

Footed a new move that I don't think has been hit before. I was messing around with the quick pdx mirage (quasi) motion, and using the force of that first dex did pdx miraging opp symp mirage opp blender. or voodoo ending in blender instead of osis.

also footed whirling gyro mirage a few times

Drank eggnog, munched chocolate bars, and watched 'The Santa Clause' starring Tim Allen last night.

Too bad about that virus. I'm not so excited about that. Let's hope it gets taken care of before I get back on the 6th.

I have been kicking with Aaron Orton quite frequently these days. We have another session today at 3 in Springfield. I'll prolly be late, but that's a'ight. I kicked with Aaron at his house last night until like 2 in the morning. Here are some highlights:

>Diving blender
>whirl>rev. whirl. rpt. x 20
>hatchet>osis>Tomahawk
>lots of ducking and diving

After I couldn't hit a stepping set to save my life, I decided it was time to quit.

Eugene is pretty boring these days. I've been looking for work, but nothing has come up yet. I applied to be a beer/wine clerk at the Good Food Store, but no word as of yet. I've been trying to creep on this girl, and it might come through for me, but I'm still pretty pessimistic. At least my grades turned out ok. I got 2 A's, 2 A-'s, and 2 B's, with a GPA of 3.57. I made it on the Dean's list for the first and only time in college. But I'm not working these days, so I had better be doing something useful with my time. My mom is out of town and I have the house to myself. It's kind of lonely around here. Can't wait to be back

Wow. That song is amazing. Do you mind if I put a synth line over that or something? :wink:
