28.34. The magic number for today. I am pleased with it well enough. Of course, I’m probably one of the only people who can find a way to make a trip out to Foxtown and back take almost thirty miles. I am, of course, talking about biking. Today just felt like a good day to get out and see what I had after all winter. While the distance was good, the average speed, which we won’t speak of beyond this point, left much to be desired. So for now I think I’ll be working on that. Anyone can ride distance, but doing it at a pace that’s respectable is another matter. I managed to get a bit of sun too. Why I didn’t use sunscreen, not really something I can explain logically. It’s not bad though, just some red arms. It’ll be good for me.
Speaking of Foxtown, I’m going out for the second show in two weeks there. The Lonely is playing tonight. A friend of mine is their bassist. I probably wouldn’t bother if it weren’t for that though. I dunno, we’ll see if they’re any good. Techno-rock isn’t the top of my genre favorites, but sometimes the mood is right. If nothing else, I’m out of the house though, so regardless, could be worse. Just hoping the rain holds off and blows past. Naturally I washed my car last night. Oh well.
Well, as of last night, Black Coffee has started working on recording what might be called music. The guys came over and we hooked everything up and started fooling around. Didn’t get real far, but that’s alright. At least we did determine that we’ll be able to do the recording with what I have and do it with reasonably good quality as well. Steve’s head unit is pretty good for running right into my board, quite handy. I started working on a song too before I went to bed. It isn’t much at the moment, just a couple riffs put together, but I think there’s room to make something out of it. I might post part of it once I’ve fleshed it out a little more.
Steve also hooked me up on a neat webpage that was crammed full of happy, happy guitar scales. Saw a rather interesting Hungarian scale I’m working on. Hooray for getting better! Now…if I would get my lazy ass up and rewire my guitar properly…
If you like music, go watch this and this. This guy is nuts on the ukulele, it’s awesome. Trust me on this.
