Sunday morning I took an early morning hike at Oak Point Park. I was thrilled to see my first painted bunting this Summer. I also saw cedar waxwing, Carolina chickadee, a female cardinal and two large crows. I found a part of the park on the other side of the Meadow Trail. It was like finding a secret garden. I took lots of .avi video with the little Taiwanese camera I bought some years ago for 25 dollars on eBay. Lately this morning and early this afternoon, I completed a remix of another artist's work for ccmixter. During my hike, I had laid out this careful plan to do x and y to achieve z sound, only to find the actual aa and k I did worked much better, and created a song that sounded completely differently from what I imagined. I'll upload it on next Sunday, as per the "secret mixter" secret-Santa-like rules. This Sunday afternoon, I attended Weight Watchers, to find I lost .6 pounds, keeping me over 22 pounds lost since I restarted at the end of March. This evening I used the free software Videospin to create a simple video of my hike. I posted it on youtube, though I should have deleted more of the flawed transition fx out of the video. Tonight I ate healthy microwave lasagna, watched True Blood against my better judgment, and thought about reading my Swedish mystery novel on my e-reader to end my evening.
