Day Two Hundred Eighty Three (Year Three)

I only had a couple of things on my list today that absolutely had to get done.  They were:

1) Obtain, and load into itunes Such Hot Blood by The Airborne Toxic Event
2) Sync and charge my ipod.

Done, and Done.

The ipod is fully charged for the first time in what feels like a long time, and the new Air Tox disc is loaded and ready to roll.  The Twitter hype has only continued to build.  Fingers crossed that it will all be true as I head out with the Mrs. for a road trip into Sioux City tomorrow.

I want to hit up MidBell to see about my poster.  They still haven't called.  The funny part?  I searched for the poster online tonight, and discovered that the company that makes it also makes another poster that I either have somewhere, or looked at often enough that I feel like I own it.  Talked to my Mom tonight to see if she remembers anything that might be hiding in the basement of her house.  She said she'd check on it and get back to me.  If it's there, I'm going to have her bring it down the next time she comes our direction.  If it isn't... I'm going to order it.

I'm also going to look and see if they have any of those stamps I found online the other day.  Seems to me that it would be easier to stumble across one there than have to order it online.  We shall see.

Also on tomorrow's list: time for playing.

Day Three Hundred Forty (Year Six)

It's done.  Well, okay, so it's 99.5% done, but that's close enough for me. The stereo and the turntable got set up this morning, as I figured they would, and the two bags of randomness (picks, my slide, tuners, etc) and the few small piles of notebooks got dealt with tonight.  I even managed to get the iMac set up, if not fired up. And yet, the studio remains only slightly unfinished.  Somewhere in either the house or the garage, there must be a box or a bag that has a couple of studio-related items tucked into it, because there are at least two things I can't find.  As fate would have it, they're important things, too.  And something tells me that they're all in one place.  I'm missing: 1.  My looping pedal 2.  The power cable for my Marshall 3.  The foot switch for the Marshall They're all things that would have been in the same general area in the old studio, but given how much of the house we've gotten set up already, it really surpris

Day Two Hundred Forty One (Year Eight)

Holy shit.  I knew it had been a good number of days since I'd posted, but I didn't think for a second that it had been NINE of them... the last week and a half has been a blur, so let me see if I can catch myself up: 1.  It was spring break week last week, so in theory I should have been able to get a lot of good work in, but there was family here all week long, and staying with us.  It was great to see them all, but it didn't leave an awful lot of time for hiding away in the studio. 2.  My Dad and my Brother were here at the end of that time, though, and we got a chance to talk through a bit of the plan for the hootenanny that Dad wants to throw this summer, so that was good. 3.  New Decemberists record came in the mail today.  I'm listening now, but am hoping to spend a lot more time with it over the weekend. I've felt disconnected and off for great parts of the last week, even with people here.  It's no wonder, considering I haven't posted here.
