Sunday Afternoon randomness

Okay, it's 96 degrees right now according to www.weather.com--just got in from walking my Akita and I can believe it. It's ridiculously hot out there. Atari, for his part, finished his business quickly and came back in without protest. He and I are both cool weather dogs.

I finished the basic rhythm tracks for my new tune, "Scathed." It's going to be a little different from my previous tracks. Sort of like "Beast of Love" but not quite as dark. I really enjoyed recording the bass line for this one--I love playing bass, especially my six-string Schecter Stilletto. It's such a bad-ass. And on this tune it's not just a simple droning bass line--it actually gets to sing!

I finished my rerunning of the entire The West Wing TV series the other day, and now just finished watching (again) the final season of Stargate: Atlantis. Trying to decide now what else to put in the DVD player. I'm not really in the mood for anything I have here. May just go to hulu.com and watch old episodes of Bones or something.

I know, I really should be doing something productive. In a little while I'm going to make some sesame chicken for dinner--does that count?

I'm just trying to keep my mind busy so I don't think about the next two weeks. About half (or even more) of the people I work with are going to be on vacation. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else didn't call in sick three or four days, either. So, for those of us who remain, it's going to be busy. Thankfully we get a holiday next Monday.

Hopefully work won't leave me too tired to work on my music this week--I really want to get this one done but there's still a long way to go on it. Gonna be a lot of tracks--more rhythm guitars, leads, a synth line, some fills I'll probably do with the Strat . . . not to mention the vocal. I'll be doing something else a little different for this one, too--I'm going to do one mix without a vocal and one with. Why the hell not?

So, what are you up to this Sunday afternoon?
