A few things to report today.
First, having gotten my blue kick-around acoustic into the new house yesterday, I finally found some time to sit and play a little this afternoon. The strings on that guitar are indeed shot, but they held up well enough for an afternoon. I'm going to have to find someplace up there to have strings changed, as I've never really learned how to do that well enough to trust myself not to screw it up. Either that, or I could just learn how to do it. That may well be an easier and more practical usage of my time.
Second, somewhere in there, I found the start of a chord progression that I really like. This, I think, means that I've started writing songs in an afternoon up there, where I've been a whole lot of blocked for that sort of thing in WDM for what feels like forever.
Thirdly, I checked the Kasey Anderson vinyl for mp3 download codes while I was up there, found the codes, and brought them back down with me.
It'll be nice to have those songs on the ipod along with having the records. I've already got both albums and the ZZ Ward from last week uploaded, so I can take them to work with me tomorrow and hype both artists.
Having dinner with R. tomorrow. First time in forever that we've had a chance to hang out. Apparently she's running low on music. I'm fairly confident I can solve this problem, but we shall see.
The other thing I need to do is get around to the theory stuff I made my quest for the month of August.
Anyway, more tomorrow.
