Day One Hundred Nine (Year Six)

Tonight was a good start on what I'm hoping to get done in the next few days.

I got into the studio on the late side tonight, but I got to the things that I had hoped to get to yesterday.  I:

1.  Started cleaning out that new table that I brought in last weekend.  I've got it mostly taken care of, there are just a couple of things still left inside it that I need to find places for in the rest of the house, and then I can figure out what its best purpose is in my studio.

2.  I'm up over page 100 in the Jerry Lee Lewis bio.  That continues to be a very cool read.

3.  In an odd quirk of timing, the Mrs. wanted to go to the bookstore tonight.  While we were there, I discovered that yesterday had been the last day for the old issue of Guitar Techniques, and that there was a new issue there today.  So I picked it up, and now have even more awesomeness to go through during my playing the next few days.

4.  Got an invite to a jam session on campus tomorrow night.  This time I can actually go.  Should be fun.

5.  Did both a bit of listening and a bit of practicing tonight as well.  There will be a lot more of both happening over the next couple of days, and therefore will be better updates on both fronts.

Good day today.  Can't wait for tomorrow.

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.
