Small progress

Ok, life has not shown any slowdown! wow. But last night I hung out with my parents and fiance in the kitchen of my parents place. Annika did homework, my mother was able to burn irish songs and a learning video for her schools, my father helped me and Annika in our work, and I fixed their new computer. It is completely updated with the latest and greatest plus the little niknaks that they requested. They are ready to roll with the new computer.

This means I can take their computer, wipe it clean and set it up as a dedicated recording machine. This is exciting. But, I have class tonight, band practice tomorrow, open mic wednesday, but I think Thursday I'll have time to do it. I will need that long to find an OS that I can install cleanly anyhow. But These are good healthy steps.

I also made it to the Shotglass / Jackie Gino show this weekend... I should mend that to say I arrived on time for Shotglass but had forgotten my wallet in my jacket at my friend Wesley's friends house way across town. So after a lot lot LOT of figurative roadblocks, we made it to see Jackie Gino. And they put on a great show per usual, but they also inspired my writing juices again. I picked up a guitar this morning and, with their style in mind, started to write a new rift. I doubt anything will come of that rift (not that good) but it makes me want to sit down and write some more. Just need the time.

I also finally put the rest of my heads on the RetroSpec, and she sounds so much sweeter with those heads. A Rich deep sound that is no longer plasticy sounding. I get to practice with Masked Marvel tomorrow night and will get to break the heads in proper with their lively sound.
Hopefully friday I'll have some new info regarding my new recording machine. But, a lot to do in the mean time...
