First Time in Ages

When was the last time I drove to an empty parking lot to record myself singing for one of my dumb songwriting project demos? February? Maybe?

Well, we’re back. I did it this morning. I had an annoying interruption, but I still managed to record very bad, terrible even, vocals onto five songs.

I started here:

Oh, did I mention it was pouring rain? As I was finishing up the first song a truck pulled up near me. It looked like a landscaper. Then a security truck pulled up. Then another car. Everyone got out and just stood around looking at each other. Then another car. Then another car. What the hell?

I moved. I just drove to the other side of the parking lot.

From there I finished up four more songs. I could have maybe done one or two more (the battery on my MacBook Pro is legendary) but I had to pee so incredibly bad that I had to drive home. Oh well. Hopefully we’ll be able to do some more tomorrow.

In the City (Traffic)

The traffic getting into Boston is pretty bad right now.

Round Two

I went out and got my hair cut, I got an inspection sticker for the Kia, and I stopped at the sugar free bakery to get a treat for myself to celebrate my 20th work-aversary. Then I went home, made myself some lunch, noodled out a couple of new song ideas, and played my guitar again. Technically it was a different guitar, but it is still mine so I guess saying “I played again” still counts.

Now I am going to start thinking about cooking dinner on the grill for me and my beloved bride, the love of my life, Jen.

Inspection

My car’s inspection ran out in May. Oops. Let’s fix that oversight before you get pulled over, m’kay?

Haircut Time

I’m doing the world a favor by getting my haircut. No one will have to see my shaggy mess for a few weeks at least.

20 Years

20 years ago today I started a new job. I am still with that company. I have a different position now thanks to a promotion, but I’m still with the company.

How did I spend my 20th hire-aversary?

Well, so far I have played my guitar. I am also thinking about getting a haircut and maybe getting one of the cars inspected. A super fun day!
