The theme for today is getting stuff done. I guess. Running errands, cleaning, straightening up. One of the kids is coming over tonight and I want the place to be ship shape when she gets here. Not that she’ll be fooled at all… I mean she lived here before… she knows a house cleaning snow job when she sees one. Heh heh.
At least I got the grocery shopping done… though I think I need to go again tomorrow.
Disney World announced today that they are closing the Muppet Vision 3D show at Hollywood Studios. That makes me sad. I love that goofy little 15 minute movie. I’m always down to see it when we’re at the park. Hopefully it will still be open when we go in January.
Four days ago, November 18th, was the 16th anniversary of the start of this blog. Sort of. It was the 16th anniversary of the start of the blog I had on blogger.com that was moved to wordpress.com in 2012 and then moved to medium.com for a while and then moved to a new wordpress.com at some point in time that I don’t remember. 11/18/08 was the day that I started a blog that was public facing, so that’s the anniversary date that I celebrate here. Before that I had private posts on myspace. Before that (briefly) I had private posts on yahoo360 (remember that one? No? Neither does anyone else).
Allow me to celebrate the 16th blogiversary with a picture of a cat because what the hell else would I post to honor an anniversary?
Another day, another batch of recorded vocals in the car in the (mostly) empty movie theater parking lot. No movies were watched during this early morning session, but vocals were added to three songs.
I am done with vocals for this month, thank goodness. I hate the sound of my own voice and I don’t like singing and I don’t like writing lyrics and my melodies are dumb. I just don’t like not having a vocal part of the crappy songs that I write so if I am gonna write songs, they are gonna have vocals. My kingdom for a little self confidence… and talent.
I have seven songs for this months National Solo Album Month project. All seven have vocals. Now I can get back to recording guitars (it’s time for lead guitars and solos and solos and solos) and then just mix ’em all down and I’ll be done. Eight days left.
Robin the Cat has been hanging out with me while I work today. Good girl.
I just had Google’s A.I. transcribe and summarize a conference call I was on. It worked, I guess. Reading through the transcript I had one important fact hammered home to me.
When I speak in public I sounds as if I am roughly as intelligent as a chipmunk. Make that a chipmunk with a speech impediment. I mean… wow, do I suck at speaking.
Here’s today’s photo a day pic to distract you all from how bad I suck at verbal communication. Ah-duh.
It’s 7:11pm and I’m ready for bed. I’m exhausted. Here’s two cats to distract us all from how toast I am.
Something a little different for today’s photo a day. I used a flash. It’s still just a pre-work iPhone picture of a guitar, but it’s a little bit different than the usual boring crap. Of course… it’s still boring crap, just a little bit different, that’s all. Whatever, it’s been a long Monday.
Good morning, everyone. I’m running super late, isn’t that fun on a Monday morning. Blah!
