my style disappeared again, and, unlike the last time, there doesn’t appear to be any way to fix it. i have re-opened one of my bug reports, but there has been no action on it for a couple of days, so i don’t expect much.

i went out and bought $100 worth of sound effects for “Snow White and The Three Stooges Dwarves“… i bought a ratchet, a frog/creak cuico-like thing (which is my favourite), a duck-call like thing, a samba-whistle “solitary tinamou” bird-call, and a nightengale call which i haven’t yet figured out how to work… i’m assuming that you put water in it, blow it, and it makes a “chirp-chirp-chirp” noise, but when i put water in it and blow, it makes a single-pitched whistle, unless i hold it so that the water comes out the mouthpiece, in which case it makes a single, slow chirp while spraying water all over my face. the phil has a rehearsal this evening, supposedly at hales, but that has yet to be confirmed. we go to OCF in two weeks, so i’d better learn how to make the nightengale call work before then.

it turned out that moe had to work late, so we didn’t get to go to the park we had originally planned on (dash point park) or fly our kites, and instead we went to the park near our house (five mile lake park), and had a picnic while watching the bats flutter about over the lake until the mosquitos drove us inside. i’ve got my wedding anniversary on my calendar now, so presumably i won’t forget it next time.
