Togetherness

My wife and I found some modern togetherness time this morning. She had to pick something up at the drug store. When we pulled into the parking lot she said something that had never been said in the 9+ years that we’ve been together. She said something along the lines of, there’s a poke-stop next door, let’s walk over!

On the way, we both caught a pokemon, then at the pokestop we both nabbed a bunch of pokeballs. After we finished up in the store we went back and hit the stop again.

Modern love… it can be strange, you know?

50/90 – Day 13

When I woke up this morning I had 22 songs in progress, four with rhythm guitars recorded, and one with a vocal idea sketched out.

At this moment I have 24 songs in progress, eight with rhythm guitars, and still just the one vocal idea.

I don’t feel too terribly well today though, so there’s a good chance all the stuff I did today will need to be re-done.

We’ll see.

Organic

Our house is so utterly organic that it’s growing crops on the roof.

Okay, so it’s a weed growing in the gutter, but give me at least a little hippie street creed, m’kay?

Maintenance Day

The Nissan has four new tires, and in a few minutes it will have fresh oil too. It’s Nissan Maintenance Day.

So Much to Do

Gotta get an oil change
Gotta get new tires (they are almost bald)
Gotta put that registration sticker on the plate
Gotta buy some groceries
Gotta do some yard work
Gotta NOT GET SICK
Gotta visit the kids
Gotta clean up the house a little
Gotta RECORD RHYTHM GUITARS FOR 17 SONGS
Gotta treat my wife like a queen
Gotta NOT GET SICK

Jedi Band

Did you all see the lightsaber microphone stand? Did you know our singer was a freakin’ Jedi?

Agony

I installed Pokemon Go last night. Then today I had to leave work early because of a migraine headache.
Coincidence?

50/90 – Day 10

Two of the last three nights have been 50/90 progress free. Am I slowing down? Yeah, probably a little. Is it okay? Well, I’ve got 18 songs in the works and there are still 80 days left… so yeah, I think it’s okay.

If there is a hangup, it’s in the demo recording. I don’t want to use any amp sims at all. I want all of the guitar sounds to be my Fender Deluxe Reverb. All or nothing. I’ll probably change my mind on that eventually, but for now I’m sticking to it. That means no recording in the living room while the kids are watching tv. That’s a big deal. We’ll see how far this goes.

Most importantly, I’m still having fun.

Rawk

Our drummer shared a bunch of pics from the 7/1 show last night. I don’t know who took them, but this might be my fav, mostly for the batman-esque angle. If only Mike’s head weren’t cut off. Also, notice that we are all blankly looking over toward stage right… That’s where the big fan was. That fan was the best thing in the universe.
