RPM Challenge – Day 2

I haven’t recorded any real instruments yet, but I’ve got a nice chunk of work done so far using my iPad and iPhone. Yesterday I wrote a bass riff in the shower, a little guitar/bass groove while sitting in the car before work, and a little guitar riff while on my lunch break. When I got home I wrote 3-4 phrases for another song, with all the parts but no actual arrangements yet. I then fleshed out the car-before-work idea with 3-4 more sections and all the pieces, but again no actual arrangement of those sections.

Today, to start day two, I did another set of phrases with all instruments but no arrangement. Count them up and you’ve got five songs in progress before 6:45am on day two. Not a bad start.

Now we just have to hope the ideas don’t suck. They probably do.

Here is the annual works-in-progress playlist, which currently holds nothing but cheesy GarageBand for iPad sounds.

Ooooops

Well… Sorry about that, weight watchers.

Warm

Today is February 1, 2016 and the temperature was up around 60 degrees.

Now that is what I call a winter wonderland!

Hollow

It’s looking like it’s going to be a semi-hollow RPM Challenge for me this year.

Almost Time

According to both rpmchallenge.com and my swanky little Apple Watch, there are less than 26 hours to go until the start of the 2016 RPM Challenge.

Tomorrow I’ll check all the plugs and cables and everything to make sure the whole set up still works (fingers crossed), then I’ll put new strings on the ES-335, go to band practice, go home and go to bed, then get off to as much of a good start as I can on a Monday morning. These games are so much easier when they start on weekends.

February is almost here. Get ready for the flood of annoying music posts! I’m ready!

Netflix Kitty

The Patch and I are in full Saturday binge watch mode.

Weight Watchers Week 2

Surprised about this one. I am down four pounds from last week. That makes a 3.88% total reduction of my initial weigh in. I thought this was going to be a bad weigh in, I didn’t expect this. Only about 180 or so pounds to go!

About to Weigh In

I am about to go to Weight Watchers and weigh in. I have a bad feeling about this. I don’t feel all that great, and I don’t feel very good about my week. I tracked, but it just all felt… wrong somehow. Now there’s something up with my stomach…

This is going to suck.
