Rainy Tuesday randomocity

I may have found a female vocalist to help me with a project.

While the lyrics I have for this one song--and the ideas I have for others--aren't gender-specific, for some reason I hear a woman singing them. Maybe I've found that woman. We'll see. I haven't actually heard her sing yet, though I know she does, a lot. I'm sure she'll be fine--I'm not asking for many vocal pryotechnics or anything..

It's a little scary. I've never worked with anybody on a musical project before and I'm a bit of a control freak. Hopefully I won't turn into a raging asshole and let her put her own unique touches on the little tune we'll be starting out with. If it comes together, that is. Of course, I have to like her voice, and she has to like--and be willing to do--what I"m asking her to do. And as nuts as my life has been lately I don't know when I'm gonna be able to sit down and record this thing. I'm pretty much spent at the end of the day lately.

On another note, I saw The Thing this weekend. I dug it--I give it a B+, but only because it sort of dragged in a couple of places. If you liked John Carpenter's version you'll like this one, too. Of course the critics just don't understand it--I read one review that said it was completely unnecessary. Of course it's completely unnecessary. It's a movie, dumbass.  No movie is necessary. It's just supposed to entertain.Which this one does, I thought.

Speaking of movies, put The Devil Inside on your "got to see" list, mostly cause Talyan has a small part in it. It's not my normal thing--I'm not big on supernatural horror--but this could be kinda interesting.

And speaking of my goddaughter, I know you saw her in the Lifetime movie, Five. You can actually watch the movie from the link. Talyan is in the last segment, "Pearl." Watch for the little girl who says, "That's the best, best part!" That's her. She was awesome. And adorable. The rest of it's pretty good, too. Have a box of tissues handy when you watch it.

For those following the continuing story of Atari, he's about the same. It's getting really difficult for him to get around with the arthritis, and of course the medication is gradually losing it's effectiveness. I wish I could do more for him.

Anyways, that's what's up with me tonight.
