Today’s photo a day pic:
She looks pissed off because I keep stopping her when she tries to eat one of the plants. I’m a jerk like that.
In other news, I put vocals on four songs for the 50 songs in 90 days challenge. I now have 50 songs with vocals… which implies that I will be successful this year. Huzzah, babie.
Here a picture of the clock downtown from my drive home… because.
No ocean visit this morning, but we did have lunch on the water in Newburyport, MA which is really close to where I had planned to go for sunrise.
How’s the forecast for tomorrow looking? I’ll let you know.
The sun will come up over Salisbury Beach, MA tomorrow at 6:24am and the forecast for that time is for nothing but clear skies.
Will tomorrow be a sunrise photo shoot?
Maybe. We’ll see. That would be a nice way to kick off my work week’s worth of staycation.
I’ll let you know.
My wife and I are out on a lunch date.
I was just in my dad’s apartment for the first time since he passed away.
That was rough.
The clock strikes 5:30pm.
I sign myself out of work.
And thus my week long staycation begins!
Oh, happy day!
I played some guitar this morning. Judging by the above screen shot from my Apple Watch, I may have changed up the recording workflow a smidge.
Oh yes, yes I did.
I played through a speaker. Instead of using my Fender Bassbreaker 15 and my Vox MV50 Clean amps with their direct line outputs and speaker cabinet emulation functionality, I plugged into my Fender Deluxe Reverb. In the next photo you can see that the power light is on and it is glorious.
I then did the craziest thing ever. I took the volume knob and turned it up. Way up. It wasn’t full blast, but it was close enough for a Thursday morning. In the next photo you will see proof.
The volume was a smidge under nine. Again, glorious. Spectacular. I had an overdrive pedal boosting the input signal as well and it was distorting nicely. Tube amps are just the best things ever. I should have actually brought the volume down a little as the signal was over compressing to the point of being a squashed, squirely mess, but that’s okay. I’m just making demoes, right?
I played my SG because it was out of the case and sitting on the stand next to my desk. I probably should have played my Les Paul Custom, but this was fine with me. I ended up adding rhythm guitars to one song and leads to another. Oh, and I also added vocals to two songs. Fun. I probably could have snuck in a little more 50/90 challenge work, but I had to get ready for work and didn’t want to risk being late.
The one question that remains to be asked: Are my ears still ringing (about an hour after I stopped playing)?
Why yes, yes they are.
Glorious
It’s midnight and I am still awake.
Why am I still awake when it’s midnight? I don’t get it. I don’t get me.
What the hell are you doing?
Go to sleep, you dumb ass.
