Long weekends aren't nearly long enough. Three days makes me want four. At any rate, I am back at work on this kind of cold Tuesday. This weekend I went to a birthday party that was full of people who make 4 times what I make a year. It was sorta unfun being the only blue colared person in the room and I felt like I was blowing off snide comments about my work most of the night. I just avoided the "what do you do" question as much as possible, just so I could avoid the condescending reply I received when I told them I wiped bums for a living. Fantastic.
On a brighter note, Andru and I made a pact to not drink Monday-thrusday. Friday of course will be cut loose day. So I've got some new books to read, and I'm some new songs to write lyrics to.
On the recording front I think I've found a cheap solution to my problem of getting a digital recording.
I was on facebook and noticed this promotional picture of this chick I know. She's a recording artists I guess... whatever the hell that means now. But it was of her full of bruises, crouched in a fetal position on a bed.. um... I feel disturbed by photos like this. Um, first off... WHY?! the chick writes lovey, dovey pop songs from the album I've heard. Furthermore, I'm really getting sick of artists/photographers/whoever, using images of beaten women as "avant guard,glamourous, artistic" attention grabbing device. Maybe if your trying to raise awareness about violence against women.. but that's not the impression I got apon reading the captions under the photo. Infact, I have yet to understand what the photo was saying?! It doesn't appaear to be saying anything constructive so I've reserved my right to not like it. Art without context confuses me. Although I'm not sure if this can be considered art anyway... maybe just advertising?
