Robin Sparkles looks at me and asks, “why are you moving furniture around and bringing in new stuff and hanging stuff on the walls? Don’t you know you’re messing with my vibe?”
But check it out, cat. We have a rack to put shoes on and a new hook to hang clothes on. Cool, right?
I don’t think Robin the Cat agrees that it is cool.
I just hung some art (Garfunkel) in our bedroom.
Lily the Cat is not impressed.
Browsing.
Now that it’s March I can get back to normal life. I’m over a month over due for a haircut and am looking clown-esque. Time to fix that.
I think Miss Robin is going to be happy when February is over and I stop hyper focusing on RPM Challenge music.
Knowing that today is going to be a very busy day for me, Miss Robin Sparkles has offered to serve as my Emotional Support Cat for the day.
Well… maybe not the day. Maybe the three minutes she was in the room with me before she wandered off. I’ll take it.
I should note that Lily is in the room with me right now and has been for over an hour, but she’s hiding in a closet so she really isn’t much help either.
Tracking is finished. I added lead guitars to the last three songs and then started mixing. I’ve plowed through three mixes already but there are still five left to do. The phrase that pays as far as mixing goes is “quick and dirty.” I just want something to upload, it is not going to be anything particularly good but it will exist and that’s good enough for me today.
This was the last song I started working on, and the last song to get vocals, and the last song to get lead guitars, and the 11th song to be mixed.
Also, I played my Les Paul Custom today and it came through for me on this song. I actually enjoy the leads here. That’s not normal for me on this year’s project.
The regal, majestic, Lady Robin Sparkles.
This morning I snuck in a few pics to cover today’s photo a day challenge picture. I had just finished adding the final tracks to a song and I picked up the camera while listening to the playback. Here is today’s entry, 180/365:
I almost went with this one instead…
These would have been okay too…
I did my car music this morning. I was out of the house a couple of minutes past 6:00am. I only had two songs to work on so I knew it was going to be a short trip. What I didn’t know was that it was going to freakin’ snow!
We only got enough to cover everything, but I don’t think we were supposed to get anything at all. At least I didn’t hear anything yesterday. Granted, I knew the forecast was calling for it to be warm today so I didn’t pay attention to any precipitation predictions but still… what the hell?
Fortunately it didn’t stop me from finishing the last two songs worth of vocal tracks for this year’s RPM Challenge. Once I got home I finished the last three saxophone parts too. On top of that, I managed to sneak in a few songs worth of guitar leads. I am still not finished with tracking for this month’s project. I still have to add lead guitar to two more songs. After that, all that will be left is to mix the last (gulp) 12 songs. Yikes!
All of this zaniness ends tomorrow… record two guitar leads and mix 12 songs… and work two full work days… yeah… I can do it. I’ll stress out and be on the verge of constant musical freak out, but I can do it.
