A Note about Voting in the Poll

Sorry for multiple updates here, folks. I just wanted to point out that yes, you can vote for more than one option in the poll. But you vote for them all in one casting. So that means you check off as many options as you fancy, and then you cast your vote, thus voting for 1 or up to 5 options (though I hope none of you choose the latter). You can also change your vote to include more options or less, or a different option as you see fit.

I hope I made it clearer and not more confusing!

Also, for you math people out there, enjoy the highly incorrect percentages on the current results! :)

New Goal?

I'm working on filling up a book of staff paper I've had floating around forever. I'm writing out every little music related blip in my head in order to use up the space. Why? Because I want a new book of staff paper.

Here's my reason: the book I have has 10 stave pages. This means, unless you only score for a single part, a duet, a quintet or a ten part ensemble, you're going to have unused lines at the bottom of your page. While it may not annoy you, it does annoy me. I'm looking at purchasing a book with 12 stave pages. I am not a big math person, but even I know that 12 is divisible by more numbers than 1o.

What I have liked about this book is that the paper is nice and sturdy. And, for all you environmentalists out there, it's made out of recycled paper and the lines are printed with soy ink. I didn't purchase it for this reason seven years ago (or whenever I bought it), but I do like how well it is made.

In any case, I'm trying to fill up this book as fast as I can. I have the ideas to fill it with, ones that I just haven't written down yet. I guess it's about time they find their way to paper anyway. And since both of my Finale programs are more or less nonfunctional, I may as well have fun doing it the old fashioned way.

Enough about all this. I'll save you all from any more ramblings. Until another day!

Happy December 1st!

It is December. NaNoWriMo 2009 is over, and a sigh of relief falls over the world just before the chaos of Christmas shopping and the like. In my little corner of the world, things are going splendidly, however, and there are lots of things I'm looking forward to doing in December.

There are a couple of contests over at deviantart that I am aiming to participate in. I spent a couple of hours really early this morning planning one of the pieces out. All that is left now is to see how things turn out!

I have updated the blog to be more current to the times: week 1's list is up, and they are in order of most to less most (top to bottom). I have also updated the thought box and the poll. And, in addition to the new poll, which will end after two weeks, I have allowed people to vote multiple times. So, hopefully, that will help with dead-ties in the future.

That's about all I have for now. Until a future time!
