RPM Challenge Day 23/28

On day 23 (yesterday) I made some good progress, but given the late date and the mountain of stuff left to do I probably didn’t make even close to enough progress. It was the final weekend day of the month after all.

I put a MIDI bass track onto one song, then I added lyrics and melodies to four songs. The only songs still in play that don’t have melodies yet are three songs that don’t have rhythm guitars yet either. I added a MIDI guitar as a guide track to one of them in the hopes that I could come up with lyrics for it but I ran out of gas and never got any further. I did manage to add one mix down though.

There are a total of 20 songs in the pipeline at the moment. A whopping three are finished… and they all need to be finished by Friday. Yikes.

Three Songs Down

I mixed my third RPM Challenge song of the year tonight. I was able to spend some quality time working on music tonight, but not nearly enough. At least not as much as I had hoped to do.

Mixing a song is always a good thing though, even when the song is meh like this one.

If I Were a Carpenter

If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady…

I would be able to hang stuff on your office wall using drywall anchors without being TERRIFIED that I am going to somehow destroy the entire house in the process.

Nope. I just successfully hung stuff on my beloved bride’s office wall using drywall anchors and somehow, miraculously, the house is still standing. Amazing! What stunning carpentry skills I possess!*

*In case you didn’t get it from the context… that was sarcasm. Me stating I have carpentry skills will always be drenched to the point of dripping with sarcasm. I clearly have no such skills.

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.
