on le menu last night..
-chicken with orange-honey-ginger glaze, garnished with lemons and fresh cilantro
-scalloped potatoes au gratin
-balsamic portobello mushrooms with breadcrumb, red onion and parmesan cheese topping
I love food. I love cooking it.
Today I realized what's been missing from my life.. what accounts for my lack of motivation.
a LIST!
Call me obsessive-compulsive, but I am a fierce list maker. I will take anyone down. I used to make lists in school of my best friends, my favourite ands, my favourite books, anything. And it's the only damn way I stay motivated and keep goals. I write them down and then write when I want them done by. And it works somehow.. I made a list of my goals and unaccomplished tasks today, on lined paper with black pen, and suddenly I feel lighter, and more positive about things. I was even able to concentrate through a deadly boring four-hour class on loudspeakers, and could safely explain to you vented enclosures, low and high frequency horns and drivers, and the difference between active and passive crossovers.
I need to find more bands to record. I am really high on studio time and low on bands. It seems that everyone that I know that has a band is speed/black metal or hardcore punk rock. Now, it's not that I don't enjoy those types of music here and there, but I'm really interested in recording jazz, funk, live organic hip hop, whatever. Melodic music. I really hope that Hailey will come in and let me record her lovely voice.
Where, oh where, are all the cool girls. I want girlfriends. I have avoided them all my life because the majority of them project this vapid, self-hating thing that I'm really not down with... but I know there are cool ones around. There's a few of them I'd like to see more, but they all seem to live out in the 'burbs.
