And then I took a check over to the mortgage broker for the appraisal fee.  I seem to have reached the part of the process that involves writing a lot of checks.<\/p>\n<p>In happier news, I received a CD in the mail today.  Two of them, actually.  It was quite some time ago that I first learned that John Massari's <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wizworld.com\/JMassari\/massari_cd.html\">soundtrack CD for <cite>The Wizard of Speed and Time<\/cite><\/a> was available for purchase; I meant to order it as soon as I found out, but I have a hard time getting around to writing and mailing checks sometimes.  (Luckily, I'm not responsible for sending checks to <cite>SH<\/cite> contributors.)  So it went on the back burner (the project of mailing the check, not the CD; that would be silly), and I forgot about it, as is my wont.  Only last week I remembered about it, and did a quick Google, and found abovepointedto web page, and emailed Massari to ask if the info there was still current, and he immediately wrote back and said it was, so I mailed him a $20 check.  And <cite>The Wizard of Speed and Time: The Lost Soundtrack<\/cite> arrived in my mailbox today, along with Massari's sampler CD <cite>Short Cuts,<\/cite> which he gives away free for the asking (and most or all of the music on the sampler is available for free download from his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnmassari.com\/\">website<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>I hadn't realized that a lot of the music from <cite><a href=\"http:\/\/us.imdb.com\/Details?0081766\">WoSaT<\/a><\/cite> was actually written by Jittlov rather than Massari.  Nonetheless, I am pleased.  Catchy bouncy happy music, and it's all on my iPod now.  I haven't put the sampler CD on my iPod yet; I'll probably listen to the whole CD straight through and just grab whichever bits of it I like best, 'cause there are a lot of brief little clips that may not work so well as standalone pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, all that pleases me.  What doesn't please me is that even though there was a lot of time in my day that didn't involve house stuff and music, I had a very hard time focusing on work, and I really need to focus on work, as I have a deadline impending.<\/p>\n<p>So I'll be working tonight.  But first, a quick trip to the grocery store, I think.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I went and read a whole bunch of disclosure papers and reports regarding the house, and signed and\/or initialed&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1319\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
