Three weeks too late in the bloom
For how long haven't I made an entry? Possibly far too long. My absence can be explained by two weeks of working in the froze grocery section. It also involved a 12 hour day too. But it was all necessary to do. We have automatic ordering systems, simply called AutoOrder, that haven't been set right, and the guy who worked in the freezer section before me and my co-worker (we're currently two taking care of the freezer section) didn't do a superb job. This means we have about 3 pallets with lamb chops that nearly nobody buys, a pallet with salmonella contained lamb chops that was supposed to be sent back one and a half year ago, a pallet of chicken that's supposed to be sent back (warnings about glass in the chicken!) and one and a half pallet with ice-cream that melted last year. Gosh! And now they want to remove one section located at the entrance of the mall since nothing there sells very good. But considering that it's location is the worsts in the entire mall I am not surprised. People first walk into the fruit section on the left, while that small freezer section is on their right, as they walk out from the fruit section they only see pre-cooked meals in that freezer section while the shrimps and prawns (that people want) is on the other side. The entire freezer section needs to be renovated anyway! Things are in the way!
Nevermind, I got some news about my gardening. I've set some seeds for bell peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers. The bell peppers haven't shown themselves yet, I think, and the cucumbers just popped right through in one go. Now I am waiting for the Sweet corn and pumpkins to get going (they're just getting started!) and then it is time to prepare my patch. I got some fava beans to plant with the corn and pumpkins too in order to do the Three Sisters practice. I also have kholrabi and Quinoa to experiment with. The first one is the cultivar Superschmelz, known to grow monstrously gigantic (about 2 kilos or so) and Quinoa is an important future crop that should be grown by more countries other than the three who are currently doing it. I've thought about dedicating an entry entirely on the future of agriculture and food sometime touching on Tempeh, Oncom, Nixtamalization, Amaranths, Quinoa and hemp's importances. Just need to settle down and type that entry, that's all.
What else? My album is finally getting along. I did some initial recordings for one track but I thought that it all was a complete train-wreck and abandoned it. Gonna concentrate on the songs that I have a finished idea for. So far one track is kind of done, but it is just a collage and I might tend to improve it a bit more to not make it sound like a filler. Then I might take care of two other tracks that I sort of got the ideas finished for. One is the singer/songwriter-acoustic-guitar type of song I seem to include on every album so far. We'll see what that leads to soon enough. Another thing is that this album is a sort of comeback type of album. I'll include lots of new ideas and as well some older tricks might feature too. Since I had no hopes to get on with recording I almost gave up looking for interesting things to spice up my music with. Though, as always, I work hard to not disappoint. Believe me when I say so. I scrapped so many songs on Spatsiba Mon Amour that I had recorded in the beginning only to replace with newer versions. So, I somewhat work differently on this album compared to, say, Failed Design, where I mostly just recorded and everything fell into it's own place. I am convinced that it was a lot of luck.
