Don't have a lot of time to talk, because I have a shit-ton of stuff to do, so I'll just hit you with the highlights & lowlights:

Job hunt's in full swing now. I've had a couple of interviews this week, one of which was within easy driving distance. The other not so much. They went well enough, but the first one had a couple of question that stumped me. Not because I didn't understand them, but because they were in French........my brain decided to go AWOL while I was formulating a reply, and as such I didn't come off as sounding terribly eloquent.

Have sent out a few more applications since I've been home, including one to a call centre that's no more than a 15-minute drive from where I live........40 minutes if I hop the TTC. I really hope I hear back from those guys.........

My mixing has hit another roadblock due to some unplanned technical problems, namely a massive ground-loop hum coming from one of my M-Audio monitors. It's driving me crazy, but until I can afford to fix it I can't do anything about it right now. So I'm exiled to my old mobile rig until I can pick up a hum eliminator or a line-level shifter. Those cost about 140$ CDN, which is about 140$ too much for me right now.........

Holy shit, I LOVE this track!

The Chemical Brothers - Don't Think (Original Mix)

Apparently this was part of the iTunes-only album download, which explains why I hadn't heard it until now. This one is DEFINITELY going into one of the mixes I'm working on........just as soon as the aforementioned technical problems get hammered out.

OK, then........that's all I've got for now. Gonna see if I can get some work and/or recording done tonight before laziness and boredom set in. Later!
