I stood there, simultaneously sad for him because it was awful and he needed it so badly to be good, and also so incredibly envious: he had so many instruments and couldn’t play them, so much gear he couldn’t properly use, and it was crawling with bugs.

It’s perfect for what I need, and even works as an audio interface, but stuff’s so uncertain right now. It can wait. (Sigh.)
