Camp Fire

I took my camera along when we picked up the kids at summer camp the other night. Here are a few (kid free) pics.

It was getting dark, so don’t expect anything too wonderful.

There weren’t a lot of clouds in the sky, but this one looked cool.

My poor attempt at getting water and clouds together while still avoiding any human faces.

I enjoy a good camp fire pic.

This huge bird buzzed us. Is it a heron?

The best flame pic of the night.

That New Harry Potter Short Story

I just read it. It’s cute.

There’s a copy of it here. I tried finding it on pottermore.com, but all I could find were write ups on the Quidditch World Cup. You’ll be pleased to know that the USA made it to the semifinals.

Seven Down, 43 to Go

I mixed two tonight. One was a mostly instrumental pile of dung that was meant to be Pink Floydish, but was instead down right utterly awful. The other is here for your listening pleasure (assuming having your ears tortured by bad music is pleasure).

The idea was to have one guitar riff for the whole song but use a combination of the melody and the dynamics to differentiate between the verse and the chorus. It sorta worked.

Mediversary

Oh yeah…

Today is July 12, 2014.

10 years ago today I started a new job.

I’m still there.

I had planned on maybe 2-3 years before moving on.

I’m still there.

I’m still not sure how I feel about that, but I know for sure that I ain’t goin’ nowhere. I’m not doing what I planned to do, but I’m doing okay.

Lights Out

I’m tired, so tired. It’s bed time for ol’ Robbie and it ain’t ever 9:00 yet.

I wanted to get a ton of music done today. I got some, but not a ton. There’s another song ready to mix, and I added two more (bad) songs to the list. Forward progress, my friends.

Tomorrow should be music free. We get to drive through the wilderness to get the kids at camp. The last two nights have sucked without having them here. We will make up for it tomorrow night at the camp fire. I must check my camera’s battery!
