Pretty sure I just snapped my first picture using a medium format film camera. Also sure that I screwed up and wasted one shot before I did it. Also also sure that the one photo I took is going to be a blurry mess.
Happy New Camera Day!
It’s silly that I still do the whole photo a day challenge project thing. It’s almost always going to be a picture of a cat, or a guitar, or the view out of my home office window. It’s bad on the days I have to travel into the office because then it is likely going to be a picture of the parking lot, or my keyboard, or… nothing.
This week I may be in the office four days. That’s crazy in this post-covid world, but that’s how it’s working out. Often on in the office days I take a picture of something when I am in the cellar doing my morning exercise. Yesterday it was a guitar. Today it’s a candle. Let me show you…
Who knows what it is going to be tomorrow and the next day.
As it turns out, I actually ended up with options today. Surprise! I had to put gas in the car so that I could make the long (44 miles, about 90 minutes) commute. I could have used this picture for today’s photo a day instead of the candle…
Or, I could have used this one…
I mean… are those puppies art or what? I can almost smell how impressed you are (#sarcasm).
I just ran out of rhythm guitar parts to record for this month’s music project. I guess I have to start writing lyrics now. Yuck.
I played through a speaker though! Kick ass! I used my Deluxe Reverb and actually made noises that you could hear. Thankfully my wife was upstairs on her computer with big headphones on so I hooked up my little attenuator thingie, gave the volume knob on the amp a nice twist up, and the attenuation knob on the little attenuator thingie a solid turn down. I got a little tube overdrive without blowing the roof off the house. Sweet.
Look at the amp, with the power light actually on!
Now look at the blurry background. F1.8, babie!
Now look at the self timer/selfie that the nerd boy took and laugh at him for being such a tool.
I worked on two more songs today. My finger tips are killing me. Totally worth it.
Don’t they look like they are holding hands? Well, holding paws? Pardon the unmade bed, this was first thing this morning.
Yesterday was a long, exhausting day.
Today’s agenda calls for more of the same. I’m a touch over nine hours from the weekend though. Hang in there, working folks.
Yesterday the temperature outside hit 80 degrees. Right now it is 63. It is November 7th. It should not be this warm.
I am taking advantage by opening some windows and letting the cats go wild. It’s too warm for this time of year though. It’s getting to the point where it’s alarming.
The cats keep asking me what comes next. Now what? They say.
I haven’t a fucking clue.
My wife said, “look at her… judging me.”
Don’t be judgmental, Robin. Be respectful.
Mondays just suck, right?
I wanted to work in the office today, but I was still feeling sick from the covid vaccine shot. I do feel a little better than yesterday, but I am still under the weather. Did I somehow catch a cold along with the booster shot? My in the office vs working at home schedule is going to be majorly screwed up for the next two months or so.
I wanted to play guitar this weekend and did not. I wanted to play guitar this morning and did not.
Tomorrow? Maybe?
