Sunday Morning Car Music
Three days in a row. This is becoming a trend!
Car music this morning. I put vocals on the four songs I wrote lyrics for last night, and one extra that was left over from last month. At least I parked in a different spot today. You know, just trying to keep things fresh.
Here’s hoping I get a chance to record some lead guitars today. Maybe add another song idea or two and put rhythm guitars on them. We also need to start mixing some of this crap too. Time to start finishing these puppies off.
On the way home I took some point and shoot pictures, mostly stop light theater because I got stopped at almost every light in the city. Happy Sunday!
Beautiful Day
It is gorgeous outside today. The sky is perfect.
My love wanted an apple pie from an apple orchard so I took care of that for her. I am guessing as apple pies go, the one I picked up is going to be legen-wait for it!
-dary!
Legendary!
Saturday Morning Car Music
I had another banger car music morning. I wrote lyrics and melodies for five songs last night and I cranked the vocals for all of them out this morning.
The studio view:
I want to play a ton of guitar today too. I think I can pull it off. Fingers crossed. I want to write more lyrics tonight as well so I can have a third straight car music morning tomorrow.
Obligatory drive home pics:

Lily
I posted a film pic of Robin so here is a digital pic of Lily just to even things out.
I think I am going to give the Casio point and shoot digital another chance. I messed with the settings. I turned off the Auto ISO and just set it at the highest value. Maybe that will help.
Evening Commute
I got a snap or two of the accident on route 128 North. I was stuck behind it in the gridlock it caused. I didn’t get a pic of the accident on route 495 South as it was in the other direction and I didn’t slow down, thankfully. The backup behind it was massive beyond words though.
Photo a Day
Yeah, I think I am going to give up on the little 2008 Casio point and shoot.
It took about five tries to auto-focus on the sky. Like… how much more light do you need? I want to get something new, but there aren’t a lot of pocket sized options anymore and they are way more expensive then they should be in the days of the iPhone. I don’t want to go back to doing all of this on my iPhone but I think we’re heading in that direction. Shit.
Why do I not want to use my iPhone? Snobbery. That’s all. What can you do?
Fortunately my guitar is still out of the case from when I played it the other day. I was able to sneak a couple of super narrow depth of field pics in before I left the house this morning and one of those will be my 357th photo a day pic for this round of 365 days.
Room Lighting
My little Casio point and shoot camera doesn’t handle room level lighting all that well. Miss Lilly Pad the Kitty/Gremlin helps me demonstrate.
No flash, room lighting. The three pics I didn’t post were all too blurry to use.
The flash clears things up but it doesn’t look very good.
I looked at the Best Buy website for point and shoot cameras. They are too expensive and Nikon doesn’t make anything that I would be interested in. What about Ricoh? They own Pentax, and one of the film cameras is a Pentax. That could work in the keeping-it-in-the-family respect. Do they make any pocket sized point and shoots?
Office Day
My work schedule these days includes one day working in the office and four working from home. This week is an exception to the rule. This week has two days in the office and three at home. Today is the bonus day. I am in Foxborough, which is about 70 miles from home. It’s not my favorite place to be, to say the least. It’s okay though.
When I went outside this morning I saw something unusual. The sky had blue in it. It wasn’t an awful grey color the way it has been almost every day this summer. It actually looked kinda nice. I took a picture for today’s photo a day challenge entry:
The little Casio point and shoot from 2008 is nice and all, but it’s nowhere near as good as the now-broken Nikon point and shoot from 2015. I need to replace the Nikon, I think. Unfortunately, Nikon doesn’t sell any pocket sized point and shoots anymore. I may have to consider going with another brand. That feels like being unfaithful. Bummer.
I am in a meeting at work right now. It’s a training, actually. We’re on a 10 minute break which is going to end in a couple of minute. I can tell by the look on your face how fascinated you are.
