Day Fifty Three (Year Four)

Well, I had three goals heading into today, they were:

1) Get the rest of the music sorted out.

I got all of the artists A-Z sorted and put into the racks and spinners.  I've got about 3/4 of a rack of empty space remaining.  I'm not thinking that all of the soundtracks and compilations will fit into that space, those will most likely be relegated to one of the boxes that I emptied out last night in my effort to get the entire alphabet onto the racks.  That being said, I am grateful for the extra space, if only because I know for a fact that there are a few random piles of CDs around the house still.  Oh, and there's one box of random stuff that the people helping me sort weren't sure what to do with... probably should've gone through that box first, but it's too late for that now.  So, yeah, if I can spend a bit of tomorrow getting the spinners exactly where I want them, and then sorting through the random box, all will be well in CD land.  Hopefully I'll be able to post picture with tomorrow's post.

2) Get some work in on the lesson binder.

Most of the work that went into the lesson binder today was me looking through the different categories that I've got (lead, rhythm, songwriting, etc.) and being pretty happy with what I've got picked out so far. Next step in the process is integrating some of the piles into the binder itself, but that might have to wait until I'm a little bit more awake, so... tomorrow.

3) Get some practicing in.

As for practicing, I didn't get much in today.  With most of my time in the studio being spent organizing CDs, the playing never really materialized today.  I did pick up a guitar for a bit, but didn't get  much of anything accomplished when I did.  Need to hit it hard tomorrow and put in some serious practice time.

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.
