big budget special effects

[duk]

and once again i find myself awake at five-thirty in the morning, fresh off of a productive early morning (and night, and afternoon) of recording stuff. this has become the norm as of late and i really don't mind that considering that i do so love to make music, but i should probably stop running off of vault and ritz crackers at some point in the near future. long-term goal. i will say that having only one actual go-to/sit-down class is a little confining where social interaction is concerned. i see my friends everyday but i took seeing like a bajillion different people in a whole mess of classes every day for granted every semester until now. i mean, i like having my schedule free of academic obligations like it is, but i'm the only student in both of the courses i take care of in the cold void of apartment number 42. at least i spend excessive amounts of time working on my stuff. musical productivity outweighs any potential threat of cabin fever and i'll probably miss this next semester when i have five actual classes again. this semester's like a big musical haze where all the days run together and occasionally stuff i'm really proud of pops out. progress!

i have determined that the cycle of writing, immediately recording, and then immediately forgetting said song and moving onto something new is probably not good in the long run. if i'm doing this with entertaining an audience in mind, i've gotta get these suckers down on a single guitar and get 'em all shiny and exciting. whereas now i'm constantly slangin' my shit at my friends over AIM and e-mail, soon i'll be bugging them to sit down with me and a geetar and let me belt something out. why this didn't strike me any earlier, i have no idea. geez, dan. "bring palm of hand to back of head in a quick slapping motion. repeat. then repeat some more".

i like tonight's song more than the last one. and i liked the last one more than the one before. et cetera.

this weekend is going to be drunktacular. i'm mighty excited!
