Busy Weekend (Again)

Figures this would be a wall-to-wall action weekend because it's in mid to high 90s. On the plus side, a big part of the weekend for me has been recording in a basement which has been both productive and cooler than surface temperature. Also, I learned of the wonder beverage known as "Four". Apparently, it makes you play drums better. (We'll find out if that's true today.)

I tried to do some yard work yesterday but it was so hot, sweat was streaming from my brow. When I started getting dizzy (hadn't discovered "Four" yet) I decided to call it a day. I still had to load up the drums for an afternoon of battle.

If all goes well, we should have the framework for a five-song demo in a week or two. Today, we'll put down as many more tracks as we can stand to play. After that, we're celebrating a birthday with dinner and cupcakes. (For my friends in DeKalb, if you're into cupcakes, make it a priority to check out Sweet Dreams - it's in a little strip mall on the northwest corner of Bethany and Rte. 23.)

Oh, and we're dog-sitting.

What the hell is "four"?

Sorry - it's an energy drink with 6% alcohol. A little of the yin, a little of the yang. Four!

Everybody's doing the cupcake thing lately. SO trendy.

I can't get into the energy drinks, with or without the sauce. I am a no caffeine guy most days anymore and I generally feel better.

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
