Music: Guitarra Gitana – Tomatito (not available from amazon)

This is my view of the new carpet I installed yesterday – from my chair …

The texture is nice on bare feet and the pattern is interesting to the eye.

My Sound Devices 722 recorder should arrive next week. I have heard the rumor that after testing, a couple of movie companies such as Lucasfilm declared it the finest location recorder, period. My engineer told me the other day that the mic-pre-amps in the SD 722 beat the mic-pres in the Midas board in a straight comparison! Very cool. Can’t wait.

It is raining again. The spot where my dog Arko sleeps every night is marked by quite a bit of sand, which he carries into the house in his thick fur every night. I am tempted to figure out mathematically how many thousand years it would take until theoretically the hill my house is built into has been moved into the kitchen by Arko and from there to the garbage pail by me…

PS: the carpet is deep black with some dark brown speckles.
