i swam today and almost finished american gods. now to finish the job:

"the most accurate map possible would be the territory, and thus would be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless."

so, we're almost done recording drums for ruberdus, which means i'm almost done with the hard part of this album for me. it's amazing, this process and the product that we're getting out of it already, but i miss spending time, well, doing anything but this and with anybody but chris. never before have i spent so much time, so many consecutive ( Read more... )

got windows 7 beta installed and running through VMWare, with a new 320gb hard drive in my MacBook. It's quieter, and is sort of all of my computers combined now, and seems to work ok. i'm a little startled.
