Not bad for a random Tuesday. I put rhythm guitars onto the only two songs that didn’t have rhythm guitars. Then later I added two new songs (numbers 18 and 19), both with MIDI bass and drums and a full song form.
I’m in the office today so it’s going to be another slim chance of good progress. Maybe I can sneak in a lyric before I fall asleep tonight. That’s the hope at least.
Outside…
Inside…
Is the technical term for what Robin is doing on the day bed kneading bread dough or baking biscuits? I’ve never been sure which is correct.
Hey folks, how is your day going? I hope it is going well. No scary things going on at work. Nothing too challenging, but enough going on to keep you engaged.
I wanted to write something for an end of my lunch break kind of post, but I gots nothin’. Nothing at all.
So… yeah. A content free post. Maybe that will be my new thing? I ran out of daily writing prompts and should come up with some new schtick to replace it. Maybe long winded posts that don’t have any actual substance can be my thing now.
Hmmm… something to think about.
I overslept a little this morning. Instead of being down cellar doing my daily exercise at about 5:20am, I kicked things off at about 6:30. Not the end of the world by any stretch of the imagination, but still… not what I wanted. I have become a creature of routine in a kind of negative way since my weight loss surgery. When I get off of the normal workflow I get bitchy. Sorry about that.
I started my silly running in place thing (pronounced “yogging” with a soft “j”, thank you Ron Burgundy) which should last about 48 minutes. I had to pause the proceedings three times. Two of them were not a big deal and I could easily get over them, but one was just dumb. At the risk of too much information, I had to use the bathroom. Oh come on, Robert. You couldn’t have taken care of that before you started? You couldn’t have held it until after? Ugh. Dumb ass. Instant bitchy.
I was able to get everything I needed to do before work done. I also snuck in some guitar playing. I put rhythm guitars onto the two song ideas I started yesterday. I wanted to add a lead track to a song or two as well, but that was where the time cut needed to happen. Next time. I hope.
Why do I let little scheduling hiccups like having to use the bathroom at a random time get under my skin this way. Grrrrr. I don’t know.
Here’s a couple of guitar pictures, just because. I snapped them while listening to playbacks of the new tracks. Multitasking, as it were.
Not much happened on day 12, but I did hit an important, albeit meaningless and silly, project milestone.
I added two new song ideas. Just MIDI bass and drums and a full song form. Both are under three minutes. One in 4/4 time and one in 7/8 time.
That meaningless milestone? 50 songs in 90 days is roughly equivalent to 50 songs in three months. If I am to keep up and stay on pace to finish on time, how many songs do I have to work on per month? 50/3 = 16 2/3 songs per month.
The two songs I added yesterday were idea numbers 16 and 17… and we still have half of the first month left to go. I am officially on pace.
Fun.
So the orange pile of fascist goo has had a day. First he had his classified documents court case dismissed because… well, because the judge overseeing the case was one of his appointees. The “legal” reason the judge used was that the appointing of the special council was unconstitutional? Based on which constitution, I wonder? I don’t think she was referring to the US Constitution. Maybe she was referring to some theoretical post-project 2025 constitution? Who fucking knows.
After that, the orange shit clown announced his running mate. It’s a maga piece of dung from Ohio, JD Vance. Is senator Vance open to being murdered by the maga cult the way the orange nazi fuck wanted his last VP to be murdered? Is this Vance dick a pro-gallows kinda guy?
There is no hope for us, is there.
Today’s photo a day challenge pic is of the thing that likely won’t be a part of today’s 50 songs in 90 days challenge.
Funny how that works out, right? So many silly internet based personal creative challenges that have no actual meaning to anyone on the planet including me, even though I am the bozo working on them.
But what does it all mean?
After a four day weekend I’m back to work today. I’m actually writing this post on my phone while sitting in the parking lot because there was almost no traffic today and I’m ridiculously early. I thought I was running late all morning. Shows you what I know.
I feel exhausted. The exact opposite of what you expect to feel after a long weekend. What’s up with that?
I have a big paperwork project that’s due on Thursday but I think I would rather stab myself with a rusty fishhook than work on it. Insert frustrated sigh here. Oh well. At least I’ll be able to distract myself with what I expect will be 400-500 emails when I first punch in. I’ve got that going for me, I guess. Why exactly do we take vacation time again?
Okay, it’s time to struggle my way out of the car and into the building and up the stairs to my desk. Where did I leave that frustrated sigh again?
Day 11 was a good day. I put vocals onto five songs, lead guitars (poorly) onto four songs, and mixed one song.
At this point I have six songs that are ready for lead guitars, four that are ready to mix, and five that are ready for lyrics. I don’t have anything waiting on rhythm guitars and I don’t have anything ready to sing.
Today (day 12) is an office day for me so finding time to work on music is going to be tough. I hope I’ll be able to sneak something in before the day is out. Wish me luck.
