Kyle and Jackie on BigBrother

Ever since I found out Kyle and Jackie were replacing Gretel on BigBrother, I felt quite disappointed. Not that I'm biast, but seriously, Gretel suits BigBrother too well now. She was fun and entertaining. Kyle and Jackie will just make it too much their own.
( article I snagged from the forums )

Kyle is just too crude. Plus, i don't like change. I mean, he does make me laugh at times but .. damn! .. Jackie actually made a lot of sense in that article though; she's a pretty sensible gal most of the time.

So, ever since I saw the Casio SK-5 at loscha 's, I wanted one! I mainly fell in love with the sampling option. One could speak into it, and then it would pitch it according to the notes played!
I can't quite remember what else it did cos I was too wrapped up in the above, but I think it played the cartriges (as my casio P50 does), and other cool casio kinda stuff! but, E assured me I was not going to have his!
On my b/day, I sold him my MT65 as, I certainly didn't want it in the end; so much for bringing it home from Overseas .. but anyway, it's gone to a good cause; I think Lol (can just imagine him and his bud B pulling it apart and using it for keyboard-experimenting :) Lol Lol!
I kept talking to E about how I wanted an SK-5 and asking him to look out for one for me, no matter how expensive it was! -- and I checked on ebay before and found nothing.
Quite surprisingly, just then, I checked again, under the categry of "electronic instruments", and, i found one! I couldn't believe it! I was the only bidder and it was then at 49; max bid I entered was 100; yes I want it! :) and the oction ends one day, eleven hours I think.) -- He's got a pretty good range of feedback too, which helps to assure me his items will hopefully be OK, since i can't see pics. yeah! I'm quite excited about this! -- I know one can do sampling with puter programs and all, but hey, this sort of old-fashoned technology will always, always be so much fun to play with!
and the cartriges will be also cool to compare sound quality to my P50. - not to mention the other keyboard stuff I love!
So, given the oction status and the amount I bidded, I can pretty safely bet I'll win the oction, Lol

It is so not a fluke as I often have dreams about something from my near future! -- all that astral stuff i guess! I don't mind it now!
