The signal path has been tested. I plugged in this morning and made sure the guitar was getting to both amps, and the mics on both amps are getting into the interface and from there into the computer. Check.
Now I just have to learn how to play the new songs and record them. The downside of not playing since November though is that it took about two seconds for my fingers to start hurting. It’s going to be rough over the next 18 days.
The two amps are all wired together and mic’d up. Why the hell haven’t I played yet? What the hell is wrong with me?
Today has been a painful, emotional, difficult day. I’ll give details later, probably, but just know that as bad days go… this was one.
As I’ve done previously over the past couple of weeks, I am sharing cat pictures to distract myself from bad things. Enjoy my deflection…
I wrote before about a pair of bikes I saw in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. They were leaning against a building and I took a picture on film. Later I saw what I thought were the same two bikes in a different location and took a digital picture.
I needed to see the film to answer the burning questions. Was I mistaken and they were different bikes? Were they the same bikes and I was mistaken about the different locations? Did I screw up the film shots and end up with an illegible blob of gross on the film?
Let us answer these questions at last!
The digital pic:
The film pic:
Yup, different bikes and different locations. I was wrong, as usual.
I have done zero prep for the start of the RPM Challenge next week. Well… I moved a second amp into my office/music nook. There’s that, at least. Baby steps.
It’s been a while, but here’s some more Florida! Still waiting for the film to come back. I was hoping I’d have the scans today but maybe tomorrow? We’ll see. These are from our full day at Epcot. Most of which was spent in the World Showcase. There was talk of drinking around the world, but a stomach bug got in the way of that plan.
We were going to stay for the fireworks but it was friggin’ cold. Bellana stuck it out, but the rest of us bolted.
Robin… or Robin Sparkles.
Pardon the messy room. We’ve sort of blown it up today. She still hasn’t come out to eat anything. She’s trying to sleep now though. After the excitement yesterday she probably needs a lot of sleep today.
Disco/Robin almost came out from under the vanity. Almost.
