Well Screw the Schedule, Full Speed Ahead
This weekend was completely blown apart but still good.
Friday night I was planning on going out with lamerrill and company, but found out that she wasn't free until late. So I started by going dancing with obutiger first. Then I got the call saying "Hey, can we just play the Wii at your place instead?" So lamerrill and kruckegirl came by and we played Wii Sports and Wii Play until something like 3am.
Which really blew my morning plans on Saturday out of the water. I didn't wake up until almost 10am so I skipped the cleaning stuff and just started shopping vaguely for the sink that I want downstairs. They're not as expensive as when I looked 6 months ago, so that's good. I didn't come close to buying anything though. I know what I want and I didn't see it at Home Depot. So I went to Guitar Center and bought some drum sticks and brushes for recording purposes.
Then I went to cut a promo music video with DTM. It was something like cutting a music video except it was mostly "play your set 3 times and we'll film." So I played my trombone for something like 4 hours and sang for a while.
After that I joined B&J, JasonTheJason, L2, and fragile_k & jr at the Flying Saucer. I was hoping to see kingwamba as well so we could toast his birthday, but he didn't make it. :(
Anyway, jr was actually one of my brother's good friends in high school. So we ended up talking about mutual friends and swapping WF stories for an hour or more. At the end of the night I went to go see Watchmen but due to general exhaustion from the recording and the extra alcohol content in one or two of the drinks that I got at the Saucer I fell asleep about 20 minutes into the movie. Which really disappointed me. I want to see that movie. I'll have to go again.
Anyway, I forgot to change my clocks at home and missed church on Sunday morning. I was up and moving, I just didn't leave until 11:20 for a 10:40 call time. When I got in the car and turned on the radio I realized my mistake and went home to change the clocks. Then I went to LLJB and rehearsed. After that I went home and did the cleaning and stuff that I was supposed to do on Saturday, and recorded more on "What Kind of Crazy?" which is the next song I'd like to finish. I'm not sure that I actually finished anything, but I got the bass and guitar parts to a serviceable point. Once I get lead guitar and vox re-recorded then I can see if this is a release candidate or not. But instead I read more Brothers Karamazov.
So that was the weekend. Lots of things changed as I went, but looking back it looks like it was better than I thought.
Oh, and I'm back to 200 lbs. The damage from NYC is all gone, and hopefully next week I'll be under 200 for the first time since I was 20. Here's to hoping.
