I’ve been thinking a lot about redoing my music site, mus.so.des, again. Right now, the only thing it’s good for is searching my music collection but I would really love to make it more community driven/music-head friendly. This being the case, I’m retooling the database a little.
When I first started keeping track of my music collection, I just used an Excel spreadsheet, and that worked fine. After I finished grad school, though, when I had a little time for projects of my own, I converted it to a mysql database and put it online. It works fine as just a searchable list but now I think it’s time to make it more useful to other people…
Like everything with my personal web projects, I’m doing it all on the fly so we’ll see how it goes…

I started another embroidery a couple of months ago – I just decided to scan it and add it to my image gallery. I really haven’t had any time to work on it for a long time but am hoping to get back to work on it soon.
update: 9-5 – haven’t been working on this as much as I’d like, but here’s the latest

Last night I ran into a cool store on my way back to the subway (I had tried to go to Academy Records on 10th St but, alas, it was closed) – Forbidden Planet. Pretty cool in it’s own sweltering, non-ac endowed way. Had it not been so hot, I probably would have stayed longer…
Anyway, found this great compilation of Little Nemo comics
… I have always (since I was very little) loved Winsor McKay’s drawing style and the dialogues always crack me up. An example:
“[frame 2 - some characters are loading a giant red polka-dotted ball/capsule with Nemo in it into a cannon]
per 1: Come! You fellows! Put that ball in that muzzle and be quick about it!
per 2: You are too high boys. Low er down!
per 3: Now it’s all right
per 4: Get a move on you. Low er it a little
[next frame - the cannon fires]
per 2: Ooh!Umm!
per 1: My! I put an awful big charge in that cannon!
per 3: Ooooof! My ears are busted!
per 4: Wow! That’s a roarer! Oowow!
Nemo (from inside the capsule): I don’t like this, one little tiny bit not one tiny weeney bit.
Princess (also in capsule):Oh! My!Don’t you? I do! I think it’s fine!”
I suppose a lot of the dialogue comes from the times (early 20th C) but it seems to be different than I can remember hearing anywhere else representing that era…
