Pre-Work Music

Did I mention that I did some car music this morning? My weird, random bout of insomnia last night meant I was up super early and had more than enough time to drive out to the movie theater parking lot to record vocals. I made it through five songs. One of them had the lyrics and the melody written on the spot. I haven’t done that in quite a while. I still have two more songs to add vocals to. I am going to be in the office the next two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) so hopefully I’ll have them all ready to go by Thursday morning.

The RPM Challenge is stressing me out big time this year, and none of the songs are any good. It has me questioning whether it’s all worth it or not. I still think so… but by how much? Who knows.

Adventurous Chef

My wife, the love of my life, tried making something new for dinner tonight and it was delicious. She’s a super adventurous chef. That’s the exact opposite of me. I am the world’s least adventurous chef.

Anchors Away

We used drywall anchors and they worked!

Confused

DIY Desk

The main focus of the IKEA project today was a huge new desk for my wife’s office. It isn’t an actual desk. Call it IKEA meets DIY.

There are a bunch of additional projects happening today, but the desk is the big one. It’s pretty much all setup now so Jen can work on it. It came out really nice.

I think we’re running out of gas for today. We’ll sneak in a little more work. A couple of things have been postponed to tomorrow so we will continue. This little home improvement day has been a good one.

IKEA

I’m willing to bet that somewhere in this IKEA warehouse is an entirely new house. Whoever finds it will just have to put it together on an empty lot somewhere.

IKEA Themed Weekend

IKEA threw up all over our house. Now I have a ton of pre-fab furniture to deal with.

This is me getting a jump on things tonight by assembling the first of (I think) five items.

IKEA and I are going to spend some quality time together tomorrow.

Foto

In an attempt to replace any apps owned by billionaire fascists like musk and zuckerberg I created an account on Foto today. Hopefully it will help cut the instagram chord. It just came out of beta and there are bugs and server issues and the search function appears to be garbage. Still, it’s not a meta app.
