Wanted: 14,000 fortune cookies. Not such an outrageous wish, is it? Did you know that a box of approximately 500 fortune cookies can cover 6 square feet of floor space? Of such information is my world made. (Diagram that sentence!)

In the sound department, I finally bought a mic yesterday. Now I am filled with anxiety, wondering, did I buy the right one? Are its imperfections due to my own total lack of experience & know-how, or should I get a better one? Of course, neither answer would make me feel better, so I should probably calm down & just try recording more stuff with it before freaking out.
