Wednesday:

covered the SysAdmin chair, ate lunch with my boss. Was a little depressed all day.

The previous day, my mom called try to change my no wedding guest policy. " Why Brian,.. Why..." she pleaded on speaker phone. Penni was like "eeek! holy crap!"... I stuck to my guns but felt bad. I love being judged as a selfish cold hearted person for doing things my way. i love it. I told my friends about it and joked and laughed.

Listed to Tom Wait's "Lost in the Harbor" again, beautiful...

Went to practice, Scott wanted to rewrite the chorus to a song he wrote called "Dramatic" AFTER we recorded it. he used 32 tracks over dubbing guitar and layering vocals. sick. we ended up writing and recording a fast 32-note solo over the "dull" parts. Go Team.

we also worked on a song called"to you from me". at the beginning of the song. The guitar strums were off from the snare hits. Sense there were 2 guitar tracks and the guitars were on time together the snare sounded stumbling drunk wrong. I was so frustrated. We edit the volume on the weird spots to make it sound better. I miss loud fast messy hardcore music. (ha-ha)

Crashed 2am.

Groaning

Monday: covering the sysadministrator chair. Penni and i are both tired and groaning like zombies. Practice was canceled scott is just recording guitars and vox. StudioUbuntu as too buggy. It's heart breaking.:( I'm switching back to good ol' regular ubuntu 7.10.

I have had this sad Tom Waits song called 'Lost in the harbor' from the 'Alice' album stuck in my head all day. The melody does this creepy out of tune bridge between verses.'Over there/ The babies need wool for new clothes.../ But the sheep were all lost in the harbor'
