Distracting Myself

im kinda sorta working on that album-in-24-hours idea, but not really.  I’ve actually got two songs down and two more in progress, but I’m mostly just trying to distract myself from the utter chaos going on in what used to be our bathroom.

Oh, and I have to pee.  Also, I haven’t a clue where the cat is hiding. 

 

Terror

There are three dudes tearing apart my bathroom. I am filled with a terror the likes of which I have never felt before. What if they screw up? What if they do a decent job but we don’t like it? I’ve never been through this before. What do I do? I’m scared out of my wits!

Freeze Gopher!

I think I just saw a gopher in the yard. It was much bigger than I thought a gopher would be, having never met one in person before. My first thought was that it was a beaver, but it lacked the tail. I wanted to get my camera, but it ran away too quickly. I didn’t have a chance.

I’m pretty sure that gophers in your yard is a bad thing… isn’t it? If only it could have scared the squirrels away.

What to Do

Our bathroom remodeling is scheduled to start on Tuesday.  We are trying to fudge our work schedules so that at least one of us will be home each daY the work proceeds.  I get one telecommute day per week, and I can probably sneak in another.  Jen, my beautiful bride, can probably sneak in a couple as well.  In an attempt to not over do the extra TCing, I decided to take my last available (for now) vacation day on Tuesday.

That means I’ll be home all day with nothing to do while the work is happening.  What should I do with the day?

Last night before bed an idea came to me.  A musical idea.  I’ve done all of the Internet album in a month challenges, but I’ve never done one of the album in a day deals.  When Jen, my beloved wife, goes to sleep on Monday I’ll bring up GarageBand.  I’ll goof for an hour or so and then go to bed.  When she gets up at around 5:00 am I will get up as well and start cranking.  I’ll go to bed on Tuesday at the same time I started playing on Monday night.  Hopefully at that time I’ll have about 30 minutes worth of new songs.

I’m such a nerd, and there’s no way I’ll manage this… But it’s fun to consider it.
