What a weekend... first I drank a bit too much on Friday night as I continued working on the Shitting Glitter song but was interrupted by my own muse and had to work on a few Swivek songs as well... then the phone calls began and the next thing you know I was on the phone with my brother, my cousin and my pal in Wisconsin until 3 o'clock in the morning...then Saturday was our belated father's day wine gathering at the Leivas' where we drank, we ate, we talked, we drank some more... then a little bit of listening to some new CDs before trotting off to bed...
then yesterday it was hot, hot, hot! Actually it was frickin' steamin' all weekend long but Sunday had me in the house only venturing out to the garage to smoke a few times... and as the Leivas watched some movies and some TV, I decided it was high time I took out those paints, easel and canvas and began painting. I almost finished one of the most god awful things you've ever seen your life this side of a preschool class, but now I'm getting more used to the brushes and stuff and think I can come up with something a tad more to my style and liking - as in a few brush strokes of color with a wide brush that can hang in our living room to add a bit of color...
and of course in between paint strokes, I worked on mixing up the Shitting Glitter and doing some more vocal overdubs and redoing vocals for Swivek. I want the new album to be so good that I keep working on different songs and rearranging songs. This is so hard you know. I need another set of years oh and some backing vocals, looks like I'll be ringin' up those SG guy and gal soon.
and so tonight, I will be painting and mixing music and (maybe just maybe) having a cocktail or two - I have big aspirations to also crank out that Guitar For Dummies DVD and even do a sit up or two - I know, I am a go getter.
