Day One Hundred Eighty Four (Year Six)

Today was a little bit like yesterday, except that I ended up feeling a lot better about the way that today went than I did about yesterday.

I had a little bit more time today, that was part of it, anyway.  Was that time spent in a similar way to yesterday?  It was.  The best part about that, though, is the fact that the time I'm putting in the last few days seems to be working pretty well.  The progress may be a bit slow, but the progress is there, which is more than I can say for the end of last year.

No real progress in the Jerry Lee Lewis bio today, nor did I get to the listening I had hoped to.

Tomorrow, I need to spend just a bit more time in  the studio than I did today, hit things just a little bit harder than I was able to over the weekend, and see if the whole thing keeps splitting open like it has been.  I'd also like to get the music out of the car, and get myself restarted on that front.

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.
