I absolutely, 100% have to play guitar before work tomorrow. Not because I need to make progress on the 50 songs in 90 days challenge thing, but because I have a band practice tomorrow after work and I have 2-3 new songs to learn for it.
That’s a nice change of pace, eh?
It’s been a long time since we had a practice. I really need it. Hopefully the rest of the band needs it too and it doesn’t get postponed the way the last four or five or whatever were. Fingers crossed, music lovers.
Funny, it’s usually Robin who naps on the bed behind me while I’m working. Lily usually stays away. Not today though.
Happy nap time, Lily Pad.
This morning I did what might be the most bad ass thing I’ve ever done. I was in the bathroom, getting ready for my day. I looked down at the floor and saw a spider running toward me. I was barefoot. He was moving really fast. I didn’t have time to pick something up so… I stepped on it with bare feet.
Like I said… bad ass.
Vice President Harris picked her running mate. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. He used to be a high school teacher. I think that is outstanding. I think that’s the kind of thing we need. He also never committed treason and tried to overthrow the Federal Government. I think that makes him a good choice.
The Smashing Pumpkins released a new album this week. I really did not like the last couple. I tried. I really did. I just couldn’t get into them. This one though… I’ve listened to seven of the 10 songs so far this morning and it’s really good. I’m enjoying this record a lot.
I did not get a chance to play any guitar this morning before work. I just procrastinated and ran out of time. I wanted to, but I failed. I won’t have time tomorrow morning, so let’s hope for better time management on Thursday. I did take a couple of pictures though. One is basically yesterday’s photo a day picture taken from the opposite angle. How creative of me?
Finally, in closing… a cat.
As usual on a working in the office day, I took a picture for today’s photo a day challenge entry in the cellar before I did my daily exercise (which I had to cut short because I overslept and now am at a high risk of not hitting the activity goals on my Apple Watch because grrrrrrrrrrr). I used my Nikon though. Expect something similar on Wednesday (two days from now), when I work in the office again.
A couple of furballs wanted to wish you all a goodnight.
Did I play any guitar today? Why yes, yes I did. rhythm guitars on three songs and lead on one. I played my number one, my Les Paul Custom. It went well. I am hoping I have a little more playing in me for later this afternoon. Here’s hoping.
I was much later getting started than I like to be but I did pull off a car music this morning. I put vocals on five songs. I now have songs that are ready for some guitar tracks. Maybe we’ll pick some of those off today too. This might be a good day, I think.
Pictures… not iPhone, but Z5. I took my camera with me. Two days in a row I took it outside. Nice.
Yeah, this is my iPhone. What can you do, right?
I took my Nikon outside today. How rare is that?
I only took one photo, and it’s the same photo I take every time I go to the sugar free bakery in Salem, NH. I just took it with my Nikon instead of my iPhone.
