Band Practice Post Mortem

We had our first band practice in three weeks tonight. Three weeks or four weeks? Three weeks, I think. It went okay. We completely forgot how to play that David Bowie song, so that’s our homework for next time. I was sloppy and couldn’t get out of my own way for the first hour and a half. I was pretty good during the last 30 minutes though. Well, I didn’t suck. Put it that way.

Post practice was our first Walking Dead discussion since season 6 ended. Despite the venomous internet backlash over the cliff hanger, we all agreed that the finale was awesome. I think I have to start reading the comics again. I’m only about 2/3 of the way through them, and the second half of season six is passed where I stopped reading. I wanted to be a TV only fan again, but I don’t think I can stay away any longer.

On the home recording front, this weekend I started rhythm section tracks for three more songs from the list of songs to re-record. I will have some more guitar recording to do this week! I have six songs with rhythm guitars finished but only one with an actual real bass guitar. I really suck as a bass player. I might want to re-think the idea of not using midi bass. I’m not sure yet.

Back to work tomorrow. I have to say that I would much prefer to say that I was going on vacation this week, but no dice there.

Almost time for bed. See you (and the new episode of Fear the Walking Dead) tomorrow. ‘Night.

Can’t Believe It

I can’t believe it.  Rick Porcello is pitching for the Red Sox in the seventh inning.  You heard me, the seventh!

Sox up 5-3.  Porcello goes 6.1 innings giving up only two hits.  Granted they wee both home runs but, woah!

He almost looks like someone who might be a legit #5 starter!

Proud of Myself

I’m feeling a little proud of myself, I’m not going to lie.

My beloved wife is on a short overnight business trip and I’m here with the kids.  I cooked dinner tonight without having Jen here to be my culinary security blanket and somehow I didn’t make the kids sick.  It’s been three hours since we finished dinner and they aren’t sick at all.  They are feeling fine and I’m feeling pretty good.  I actually did something right.

How about that?!
