When Tuesdays and Light Thinking Collide
Jun. 21st, 2005 08:55 amYesterday was a fairly productive day.
I worked, which is always good, since it supports my rock 'n roll lifestyle. What does my rock 'n roll lifestyle entail right now? Apparently, it involves me investing in various percussion instruments. The bongos should be delivered today.
I worked out at the gym, which was nice, healthwise. I promptly headed home, then walked to the store to fetch some groceries for the cake I will be making for my mother's coworker. Groceries acquired, plus more exercise = a good thing.
I then worked on making some royal icing flowers for said cake. I was going for a pink cactus flower, but I don't think I captured the essence of this flower properly. Nonetheless, it looks like a flower. it should go well enough with the little Saguaros I made the other day. Tonight is cakeapalooza, where I'll bake the cake, frost it, and decorate it. Much work to be done in the kitchen tonight.
After that, I did some drum practice. I built a click track that would last the average length of a nutwalls song, that way I can mess around with tempos and work on song-length endurance. I did some practice of that, as well. However, I did not last long last night, I was quite tired.
So, onward with today. T minus 26 days 'till Book 6. Yes, I'm obsessed. Hopefully another shiny object shall come to replace that.
Oh, and one more thing. The latest Tomato Nation article is out. Sars is doing another Girls Bike Club piece. She walks a fine line here, because she speaks of the vapidity of the objects of her ire at such length that she might ultimately become what she satires. Meta-vapidity. That said, it's still pretty funny to imagine Stephen King saying,
"Did I mention I got hit by a van? A van...load OF WISDOM?"
Have a good day, folks.
