First we birthday (a month early, because college).

Then we Boba Fett.


I went to the kitchen for a soda and found this dude on the move.
DJ Roomba on the roll again.

ADDENDUM: The name is Mr DJ Roomba, Esq. Don’t you forget it.
I put the Disney themed cat bed/fort in our bedroom and last night she used it! Or at least this morning she used it. I don’t know if she actually used it last night, but whatever.

I hid away in the cellar tonight playing the guitar. I came up with something new for the Record Every Month thing for January. I came up with something last night but tonight’s is probably a little better. I’ll probably finish them both. The thing I worked out tonight was really hurting my left hand. Lots of cramping (arthritis, maybe?) painful pain.
Next I worked on a re-recording. I hadn’t done anything accept setup the GarageBand file. It’s the same file I used when I wrote the song last February. I pulled apart the mix and left one rhythm guitar track and one vocal track as guides. Normally I replace the MIDI tracks, drums and bass, before I replace the guitars, but this time I started with guitar. Why? Because I just didn’t want to stop recording tonight, that’s all.
I probably should have picked something easier because this particular re-recording took my already hurting left hand and amplified the pain by a factor of 50. Damn, was I hurting. I got through everything, though I am not entirely sure I’m happy with it. I’ll have to live with it for a few days before I decide if I want to do it again.
My hand is still a little sore, but mostly I am feeling better. It was really hurting tonight. I don’t like when that happens. I don’t like it at all.
For the record, here is the already super messy desk I’ve been using, complete with the Bruins game (second intermission, leading 3-2 over New Jersey) on my iPad.
I haven’t made dinner in a while.

Bellana has a plant that has a lot of sentimental value. It was originally her step mother’s mother’s plant and she is no longer with us. Keeping this plant alive and healthy is really important.
It spent the last couple of weeks at our house. I was nervous that I’d do something to hurt it. We watered it a couple of times and it seems okay.
Earlier today she took it back to dad’s house, but we asked if we could take a clipping of it and try to grow a new plant. We should try to keep this guy alive forever if we can, and if it lives in multiple pots in multiple locations then that just increases the chances. Bellana’s plant started out as a clipping of the original so why not start another?
Wish this little guy luck and hope it starts a new life. Fingers crossed.

I should have gone to bed 20 minutes ago but instead I’m following Patches around trying to get an extreme close-up. She is one moody model, I tells ya.

I have used the cellar music nook. I put rhythm tracks on two songs, leads on one, and started noodling some changes for one more.
The new wah and vibe pedals are awesome.

I only used the big Fender amp and only on the lower watt channel, but the only thing that wasn’t sounding sweet was the ugly paneling on the walls, babie.
