Out Running Errands

I’ve been out of the house today. Weird, eh? I took a pic at each stop, using the Hipstamatic camera app on my iPhone, because… it’s me.

I need to stop going here. It should be a special occasion kinda thing
Just returning an item for my wife
Now that I am going to the office more often, I need more work appropriate, collared shirts
Groceries
Outside of the grocery store

Okay, ready for the fun, goofy part of this post?

Now for the same pics, only in color!

Wasn’t that fun? Now that all of this is done I can focus on the laundry! Happy Sunday, everyone!

Photo a Day

I took today’s photo a day picture before I did my exercise this morning because I knew it was an in-the-office day and I wouldn’t have a lot of opportunities for snappin’ pics.

Little did I know that just before I left the house, the cats would pose for me. I could have used one of these instead.

Oh well. Two Hipstamatic camera app pics of the cats because artsy and stuff. I can get behind that.

Game Day

We bought a ton of stuff at Lowe’s yesterday, thinking we weren’t going to have enough counter top to cover everything we needed. We were wrong. I had to bring it all back today. I also brought a small stash of groceries to my father. He has Covid but he’s doing much better. He had another positive test today though, after a week’s worth. Crud.

Anyway, pics from the errand runs.

My Finger Tips Hurt Again

Two days in a row. I’ve played guitar two days in a row. It feels good, except for my very sore, callus-free fingers. Ouch, babie.

I worked on four songs. I put rhythm tracks onto two songs and leads onto two others. All of that plus the four vocals this morning makes it a pretty good day, RPM Challenge wise. I have a lot more that I need to get to today though. With tomorrow being a vacation day for me, I want to do more vocals in the car in the morning. I don’t have any songs that are ready for that yet, so I want to try and write lyrics for 3-4 songs before bed.

In closing, the obligatory pics. This time with Hipstamatic and shake-to-shuffle.

2024 RPM Challenge Day 8/29

Here’s a quick RPM Challenge update.

From my tumblr post for day eight:

Decent progress, but not as much as I had hoped for. That feels like a theme this year.

I put rhythm guitars on three songs. I now have a fully recorded rhythm section on all nine songs that I have right now. I also added melody and lyrics to one more song.

Current status is nine songs, two are ready for vocals and the other seven are ready for lyrics and melodies.

That’s it. I really need to get cracking on the lyrical front. I also need to start adding more songs. The minimum is 10 but I am hoping for 20. Looong way to go still.

Tail

Shortly after I took this I was sitting up in bed watching For All Mankind on my laptop and eating a little cup of sugar free pudding. Lily strolled past me and accidentally(?) stuck her tail into my pudding cup.

Oh good.
