concert weekends of my nienteForte series are always a whirlwind of activity, but this one has seemed crazier than most. Yesterday morning the TUMB drumline along with some other volunteers were a part of a film shoot for a promotional Yulman Stadium video which took about two hours. Then i had a little bit of time to relax and nap before running ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in Kate's office right now waiting for her to get done teaching a seminar class, so i thought while i had the opportunity i'd try to do a quick recap of everything that happened during the Crazy April period that was the past couple of weeks.

livejournal now has given users the ability to delay posts. As in, i can schedule a post i submit now to post in the future.

This makes me want to schedule hundreds of posts in the future after i've died. messages to the people that are still here. That may be too morbid of a thing for me to really do given the severe fear of death i have, ( Read more... )

sometime in the near future i'm going to launch a store on mendellee.com. main purpose is to sell my music, with Timpani Forces and Honeysuckle Juice as flagship products.

With the former, the publisher I submitted to never got back to me despite saying that it was still in the "cosnideration pile." Nick also slacked on me regarding trying to ( Read more... )

classes kicking into gear last week started a big momentum push in my productivity which has been pretty important because i have way too much crap going on right now for my own good. I was able knock off the audio for my brother's independent video game, which isn't the most polished and best work i've done, but i still like it well enough and i ( Read more... )

in october i was in a flurry of activity between the stuff i had going at Tulane and all of my independent projects. I was incredibly productive that month.

in november, i hit not a brick wall exactly, but maybe a swampy muck. i was still getting stuff done, but i wasn't being as productive as i could have been. I think i was starting to burn ( Read more... )

bullet points for the holiday were:

• (sing along now:) five days of poker, four days of profit, three crazy tables on one/two dollar blinds, and a partridge in a pear tree.
• lots of house/domestic stuff
• meeting Doug Goldberg (former student from New Jersey) and his wife Yi for their first time in New Orleans
• going out to shop on black friday ( Read more... )

it's been about a year and a half now that i've been hosting a monthly house poker game (dubbed Mendel's Micro Series of Poker), and it's starting to hit a point where i'm going to need two tables.

i'm pretty happy about this. When i started doing this, i had a few solid regulars that made the game consistent for the first six-ish months, but ( Read more... )

so for those of you that remember the post i made in early june, yeah. i'm retiring my identity as darknote.

my new website is mendellee.com. i paid the money to have my LJ name changed to what it is now. i used my one fb name change to change it to mendel.lee.zero. my twitter is now mendel_lee. although i'm holding on to my gmail email ( Read more... )

so some reprioritizing is in order.

I just added another big thing to my project plate, pseudo-officially hopping on board with Galaxy Interactive. The project timeline for their debut product is an aggressive one and happens to be somewhat smack dab in the middle of when i also need to get everything else done.

As in, i now have about five ( Read more... )
