Today seemed to fly by, as days off frequently do.
Not as much time in the studio as I had hoped for, but then again, I have a feeling that spending 12 hours in there wouldn't have felt like enough.
When I did get in there, however, I felt like I was productive, I:
1) Worked on both the first and second lessons in the run of things I've spent most of the last week focused in on. The second lesson came a lot easier than the first, but with one building on the next, that makes at least some sense to me. Of the two, I'm going to keep paying more attention to the first one than the second, as that's where the few small hang-ups continue to be. Mostly they have to do with memorization, though, and that's just a case of needing to spend longer stretches working on things than I have... the last week has had more brief, intense studio sessions, as opposed to having a chance to get in there for a couple of hours at a time.
2) I kept working, at least a little bit, on the updated practice binder idea. Didn't get quite as far into that as I hoped too, however, so I'm thinking I'll make that a bigger focus tomorrow after work.
3) Did some listening, and picked up two new CDs. 20 Stages by Sister Hazel, a double live disc celebrating their 20 years as a band that has three new songs on it. There's also a DVD that's out, so I might have to invest in that at some point. And, out of sheer curiosity, I also picked up the new Weezer record. Haven't had a chance to listen to either one yet, but that will be happening as the week goes on.
About all I could ask for that I didn't get today would be a few more hours to get more done in the studio.
