Winter Sucks, Even in Spring

Spring started yesterday.

Today is the first full day of Spring, and the first day that isn’t even a little bit in the Winter season.

The forecast for this coming Wednesday calls for a blizzard.

Even when it’s not Winter, I hate Winter.

It is definitely time to move to San Diego.

Bridge Blues

I haven’t gone on a photowalk in Methuen in ages and ages. One of my goals when I get out again is to go back to Sands Bridge. It started collapsing last year, but this winter a big chunk of one of the arches came down. I know I haven’t been living in this city long, but seeing this un-used bridge coming down still makes me very sad.

Potentially a Bad Day for our Apple Products

This could be bad, Apple-y speaking.

My step son’s Mac won’t boot up. It’s getting a core dump on the screen with some debugger information when he turns it on. We haven’t had time to really investigate or troubleshoot but… ouch.

I also just started installing an update to Garageband.

The last time that happened it totally ruined my day.

Duck and cover, kids.

Failure Day

I recorded the guitars for RPMarch02 this morning. I wanted to do more. I really did. I wanted to do more guitars during lunch, and I wanted to do some vocals in the car during the kids’ karate class.

I did none of that. I didn’t get a lunch break. Today was major stressful and I just couldn’t stop. I left the laptop at home during karate and just watched The Walking Dead on my iPad.

(After last week’s gut punch of an episode I have decided to start season four over again to see if I can pick up any clues. Look at the flowers, Lizzie.)

I’m not giving up on March, but I am thinking that RPMarch might be turning into RPMarch/April. We shall see.

March Music Continued

I don’t see myself finishing my March music project by the end of the month. I’ve got nine songs in progress. Three have rhythm guitars and one has vocals. Hopefully I’ll be able to add one to each count by the end of the day.

My USB interface wouldn’t connect on the new MacBook today. Not sure what’s going on there. Hopefully I only need to reboot. I used the iMic thingie (which makes TONS of noise) while recording some guitars this morning. Hopefully I can get the Lexicon thing working again. We’ll see.

Oh Happy Day!

Today is the day! It has finally arrived!

Today is the first day of Spring! Hooray! Winter’s seemingly endless oppression is finally over!

Of course the temperature is only just above freezing and it’s going to rain all day, so it’s not really a glorious first day of Spring.

I’ll take it!

Happy Spring, everyone! Screw you, Winter!

March Music Update (a little one)

Just when you thought the March Music project goofiness was dead and buried…

I came up with something new last night. Just a few little riffs. I put them down on the iPad just before bed. This morning I added some guitars. That’s nine songs in progress and two more ideas that I haven’t made go anywhere yet. Tomorrow. More will be done tomorrow. Really. I promise.
