The cats have mostly steered clear of me since I started feeling sick. They did come and visit this morning for a few minutes. I think it probably had more to do with their water bowl being low than with trying to nurse me back to health. Oh well.
In this rare moment when I am not asleep, I snagged some more pics of Robin because I am sick and bored and want this bullshit to be over.
Robin the Hipsta-kitty and I are watching Ashoka. She seemed to be loving it but just got up and walked away so maybe not.
Yesterday I posted this daily writing prompt post…
After that, earlier tonight this happened:
See how the blog echoes real life? Crazy, right?
Celebrating my Monday day off from work by trying to get the cats to pose for pictures. Robin is always up for it, Lily… not so much, though she did sit on my lap for 0.68 seconds today.
I think I have zero chance of pulling off an album in a day today. I might be able to pull off an album in two days, or maybe even an album in a day and a half. I have two songs finished apart from a mix down and two songs that will be finished this afternoon. I don’t know the full running time but I think it’s about 16-17 minutes.
I wrote three songs last night including MIDI guide tracks and melodies and lyrics. I did a car music this morning and recorded the vocals for all four. Since then I have put lead and rhythm guitars onto two of them and came up with a chord change for a fifth song.
Obligatory Hipstamatic pictures……
Lily was going to be in these pictures too but she ran off.
Hipsta-Kitty, Hipstamatic Shake to Shuffle.
Back home at last. We stopped at the airport and dropped off the rental car and grabbed our car from long term parking and scooted home.
What a crazy three day adventure.
We are at a rest area in Connecticut but we are only 10-15 miles from Massachusetts.
There are Boy Scouts here giving away free coffee and donuts.
We are about 200 miles from home. We’ll get there sometime tomorrow, probably in the mid-afternoon, after we drop off the rental car at the airport. We were originally coming home on Monday. I booked time off from work on Monday and Tuesday. Eventually the plans changed and we were booked to come home on Sunday but I never cancelled the Monday and Tuesday time off. Now that we’ll be getting home on Sunday, though not as planned, I want to come up with some projects to work on to have something creative and productive to do on those two days off.
The weather is going to suck on Monday, but be pretty good on Tuesday. I think I will try to pull off an album-in-a-day project on Monday. I’ll start it Sunday evening, I think, and then see if I can get 30 minutes of new music written and recorded by the same time on Monday. It will all count toward the 50 songs in 90 days challenge as well.I have only ever pulled off the album-in-a-day thing once. Maybe I can get it done again.
On Tuesday, if the weather is as good as predicted, I hope to do some photography stuff. Sunrise at the ocean, then a spot or two on top. Maybe this will finally be my morning in Boston? Who knows. After the photo-walk (whatever it ends up being) is done I’ll get back to 50/90 for the rest of the day.
Either that or I’ll just watch Doctor Who for the full two days off. We’ll have to see how it goes.
