I got out of bed at 6:00am. The migraine started at about 6:50. The window installers arrived at 7:00.
Shit. They are loud and my head really hurts. Adding Tylenol to my morning pills also set off my stomach so I’m a little nauseous on top of the headache.
Yippee.
At least the Bruins won game one last night. Also, my King of Tone pedal is expected to arrive tomorrow. We’ve got that going for us, right?
The Bruins are up 1-0 after one period.
I’ve worked on four seriously crappy song ideas today. My fingers are killing me and my iPad’s battery is close to dead.
What do you think of my recording studio?
Gibson SG standard into Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini into Vox MV50 Clean into IK Multimedia iRig split into iPad Air running GarageBand and an old pair of Bose headphones.
The only downside is the crew working on the bay window in the living room unplugged our router so my iPhone is now my only source of internet. Oh well.
Happy first day of The Great Window Replacement Project of ‘23!
Also, happy Patriots Day and first day of the NHL playoffs (go Bruins!) but mostly the new windows thing.
I’d never even dream of the $20,000 custom shop copy of Peter Green’s Les Paul, but the new production line release is only a little more than a stock Les Paul Standard.
Yeah, I want one. Seriously want one.
All of the rooms that are getting replacement windows have been cleaned out. All of the blinds and shades and curtains have been taken down and all of the furniture has been moved out of the way.
The next step will be to lock the cats in Bellana’s room, but we won’t tell them that quite yet.
After all of the Star Wars Celebration announcements and a couple of killer episodes of The Mandalorian (and one not-so killer episode) I’ve found myself spending a little time on various Star Wars subreddits. I knew that there was a vocal sect of the fandom that doesn’t like episode IX The Rise of Skywalker. I have found the levels of hate pretty staggering though. It goes so far as people who like the movie getting abuse heaped onto them. Verbal attacks… over a friggin’ movie.
In subtle response to such hate, I have decided that I would watch the movie today, and as with all viewings of this particular flick, I am loving every friggin’ second of it. It’s awesome. The movie is awesome, Rey is awesome, Poe is awesome, Fin is awesome, Rose is awesome, Kylo Ren is awesome, hell even Hux is awesome.
All of those folks who spew such hate can kiss my butt. I love this movie.
