So I will attempt an inventory of my music collection -- it will come in handy later anyway when I begin composing and sampling. I'm not sure how long it will take, since I think the best way to complete the process would be to type the entire list into an ongoing word processing document using someone's wonderful laptop. But seeing as she's in law school, I can't exactly demand her to hand it over at any time. And I think I will include CD's, vinyl, and tapes. And you all failed because you didn't put the correct answer -- I will store the list on my (lack of) website, so it's readily accessible and able to be edited anywhere. Though I will probably have it on disk as well. And maybe if you're lucky, it will be incorporated into the world longest lj post.
I have to do work. But I feel paralyzed. The next step is to make a detailed list of all the thing I need to do at work. But I feel compelled to complete a couple tasks before I do that -- how weird is that. At least it Thursday. And almost over. Though at this stage, it's not really helping to have time pass, because it's just causing further delay in getting certain tasks done. And guess what Saturday is? My 2 year mark. Which means review time. Ugh. Though it probably won't happen until January. Ugh.
Oh, I got a nice e-mail from a reporter at SOHH.com who sent me the press release about the conference. It included a phone number to call for more information. So I called it. And this is how it went:
Me: (dialing number. listening to it ring.)
Them: hello.
Me: (thinking, did I call a residence?) uhhh.....I'm calling about the hip hop conference?
Them: oh. yeah. we're just taking pre-registration now.
Me: ok?
Them: So we'll e-mail out more info later. Hold on.
[15 seconds passes]
Them 2 (new person): hello?
Me: uhh....hi, I'm calling about the hip hop conference?
Them 2: yeah! pre-registration? let me get your name. hold on.
[15 seconds passes]
Them 2: ok.
Me: (gives first and last name, spelling both, despite them not being hard)
Them 2: (making noise like papers shifting)
[click. call disconnected.]
Me: (dialing number. getting voicemail. hanging up. waiting 5 minutes. calling number. getting voicemail. this time I listen to the message.]
Them 3 (voicemail): Hi. All of our lines are currently busy. Please feel free to call back at a later time, or a leave a message after the tone. Beep.
Me: (Leaving my name and number and e-mail address.)
Ok, people, can we get it together please? This conference is supposed to be all business-oriented, with no parties, and 25,000 expected participants, so can we have a semblance of professionalism? Thanks. If you issue a press release, you can expect phone calls. And shouldn't the organization have a name or something? Aren't we trying to fight the image that hip hop is the stepchild of the music world?? Thanks for your help in the matter.
I think I've had too much caffeine. I'm shaking like a mthafcker. Time to replace those pocket parts!!
