Wrote Some Tunes – #RPM2022

I wrote a few melodies today. Not nearly as many as I’d hoped, but enough to get me to the point where I have enough songs ready for vocals to make car music in the morning worthwhile.

I’ve 13 songs in the works right now. Nine have the full rhythm section recorded, and five of those are ready for vocals.

Here’s hoping I get a ton done tomorrow. I have a doctors appointment on Monday so I took the day off. Here’s hoping I get a ton done on Monday too.

RPM progress is happening. It’s slow, but it’s happening.

Bruins Fan Cat

Ms Patches is pleased that the Bruins followed Thursday’s nasty loss with a win today. She’s breathing a sigh of hockey relief.

Lights Out

We had a black out tonight. The lights flickered once and then went out. It only lasted about a minute and then everything came back on.

I don’t know if it was just our house or the whole neighborhood. I wonder what happened? Do you think we will find the crispy remains of a squirrel on the street? A squirrel that had a low IQ and gnawed on the wrong power line?

Maybe.

Musical Bike Ride

Do you know how tough it is to play a bass part into GarageBand for iPhone while riding an exercise bike?

Weekend Cat

Patches rings in the weekend the way she rings in any old day: Lazily.

Let’s Watch Again

I might watch the Star Wars sequel trilogy again this weekend. By this weekend I might mean every weekend.

May The Force be with you.

Olympic Bummer

Last night Jen and I watched a bunch of Olympic highlights on YouTube. One of the things we saw was a 15 year old Russian kid landing the first ever quadruple jump in Olympic Women’s Figure Skating history. When we were kids, quad jumps were myths. No one, male or female, had ever done one in competition before. Now we have this 15 year old kid (who looks like she weighs 90 pounds soaking wet, but who could probably kick my ass with just her pinky finger so bad she’d break every bone in my body) landing two of them in one routine. Super Human, literally.

I mentioned to Jen that I had heard something about a skater failing a PED test. I hadn’t heard anything more than that. I didn’t know who how why what where when.

It was that 15 year old Russian kid.

Well doesn’t that just friggin’ blow.

#RPM2022 Stalled

Over the last few days I’ve been dropping the RPM Challenge ball in a huge way. I have 10 songs but none are even remotely close to being done.

Tonight I did what we are supposed to do when we run out of gas. I forced myself to do something. It resulted in two new songs. I should try to push things a little more but I’m exhausted from the long day.

I’m going to bed, but I plan to keep forcing the issue tomorrow.

Progress, babie.
