It&#8217;s a bit tuneless.  I wass going to Phase Modulate the lyrics with the melody, but I couldnt figure out how to play a dern MIDI file.  Also, I baked 372647914697216 cookies today.  Cookies that are shaped like things are a a major pain.  I spent hours rolling dough and refrigerating it after each rolling.  Bah Humbug.  I ate nothing but cookies today.  And some noodles that I think might have been lurking in the cabinet for rather too long.  Yay for carbs and fats.  Maybe I&#8217;ll eat a vegetable before I get scurvy.  I need to get on some vitamins.  If only chocolate soymilk were more fortified with things, I could live on it.  You know they don&#8217;t put calcium in silk soy nog.  those bastards.  that means i can&#8217;t subsist on it or my bones will crumble to dust.<\/p>\n<p>Being in cola&#8217;s apartment without her is a bit weird.  i wish i had my dog, because i have to walk her every few few hours, which thus necessitates things like going outside.  Instead, I try (and fail) to send out documentation on how to spatialize sounds in supercollider using delay lines and differing amplitudes.  Cola has been gone for two days and already i am a nocturnal hermit.  I&#8217;m waiting up for Santa.  I&#8217;ve got a whole bunch of cookies for him.  No fireplace for him to gain access, though.  Alas.  My computer is too slow for spatialized quadraphonic sounds that exceed 100m distances!  woe!<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_3329\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1206-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.celesteh.com\/music\/wesleyan\/xmas-carol.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.celesteh.com\/music\/wesleyan\/xmas-carol.mp3\">http:\/\/www.celesteh.com\/music\/wesleyan\/xmas-carol.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.celesteh.com\/music\/wesleyan\/xmas-carol.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/www.celesteh.com\/blog\/?powerpress_pinw=1206-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.celesteh.com\/music\/wesleyan\/xmas-carol.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"xmas-carol.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a carol for you.
