Day Thirty Eight (Year Three)

Well, I started unpacking CDs today.  I'm starting at the end of the alphabet this time around and working my way forward.  That said, I made it from Z all the way through S.  Might stay up late tonight and keep going, we'll see.  Either way, I'd like to have all of the music put away by the end of the day tomorrow.

Let's see, what else happened today... I got the download code for both the audio and video of that Counting Crows show from DayTrotter.  It's 40 tracks, including stage banter, and it's amazing so far.  Haven't had a full three hours to listen to the whole thing, mind you, but I'll get there.  Hell, I was just happy that I found a pair of earbuds last night, so I can get back to carrying the music around with me.  SL commented the other day that she doesn't see me listen to music much.  I'm sure that will change some once we get married in October, but she's right.  I haven't done as much conscious listening of late.  Music is always on in the background, but it's not everyday lately that I sit down and make a concerted effort to listen to a whole album all the way through.  I need to start being more selfish about taking that time.  Granted, with the CDs now almost out again, that will definitely help.

Another thing I need to be more selfish about?  Playing more every day.  Especially now that I'll be teaching again.

Picked up a 1/8" into a 1/4" jack adapter at Radio Shack today... and I'm pretty sure it's still in SL's purse.  Oh well, guess the turntable will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

Good day today!  Oh, and, the internet is working again.  Yay!

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.
