Today I finally put up the acoustic foam I've had sitting in the crawl space for months. If you were wondering, yes they have dont a remarkable job of deadening the room and treating the standing waves, but mostly in the area in front of the monitors. I mean, thats the whole point I guess, I just hope the rear of the room doesn't remain an issue.
Anyways...
Tomorrow all my new gear should arrive. Starting this weekend I should be up and recording. Starting next weekend Machine Elves should be laying down tracks. I'm going to be a very busy boy.
I should probobly get a job.
My birthday was fun, thanks for asking. Mom and I went out to Ron of Japan where we were seated with some bitch and her daughters. Some notable quotes include, "And are you happy with his choice to work in music?"; "The hurricane is the most Darwinian event this country has ever faced. You had to be prepared physically and financially." (seriously, think about that one); "I didn't understand what the issue was, but I guess people were upset because all the Jews would go to one school and everyone else to the other." I just enjoyed my shrimp and filet.
After that, I went and enjoyed a Machine Elves practice. I'm stoked to record this stuff. I wish I had those Audix mics for the drums, but I guess I'll have to tease some low end out of the Shures. We stoped by Joe's where I got to flip off Tasha and think terrible thoughts about her friend. Those of you who were there know what I'm talking about. We headed to the Exit and I got very drunk. Thank you everyone for all the drinks. It made life bareable.
So here's the big revelation: I need to stop drinking so much. Be it the calories or the fact that everything I've ever done wrong is a direct result of drinking, I figure I ought to take a bit of a break. I need to remember what social skills are. Drinking a pint of vodka is not a "skill". We'll see how long this lasts. I give it a week, maybe.
As usual, any help finding a job would be appreciated. I'm over finding a girlfriend or whatnot. I think I hate women. Games, ya know?
I think I'm going to stay up for 24 hours. That should be healthy.
