Are you ready for the number 3

Big Big Changes. Our brand new website is up!! http://www.shittingglitter.com!! how very exciting? We've been dealing with this craptastic company called one2host, they have been just awful, now we are on yahoo so it should be much much more stable.

We are also rehearsing this weekend, at a place actually near our house!! I'm pretty excited about that. I feel the big turn around coming. We've booked a gig at the cat club coming up also, it's nice to have a show on the horizon.

Into the Groove

My alarm sounded harsh at 6:50 a.m., unwilling to pry myself from the bed I reset it for 6:53, these three minutes did the trick. I had to walk extra fast on my way to the subway, but I still feel it was worth it.
I'm back on top of the track today, or at least this will be my mantra. You've noticed the theme by now, but you'll bare with me and root hard. Won't you?
Yes, I intend to actually record a little guitar tonight. I am rather fond of the instrument, I am missing playing it loud and electric.

Some Mornings a.k.a. Get a Listen

That title above means fuck all, but what do you people really expect from me. By you people I mean Carrie and sometimes Devin. Tee hee! Hooty Hoo! I am in a very stellar mood today. I feel really gross and fat but really cool about it. You know what I mean? Kind of like Jimbo without all the smelly. I have been enjoying the creative output of human history here lately. I finished that book "A Prayer for Owen Meany", I really liked it. I'm reading a present I got of Virginia Woolf's "Orlando", Liking it, It makes me drink wine in the bathtub instead of beer. I also saw the movie "The Big Sleep" let me just say I'm a fan of Mr. Bogart.
This is all rather irrelevant and I suppose I should at some time come clean about the essential lack of purpose/focus of my blog. I have thought that It probably shouldn't really be up on the web for all to read if I'm not even going to aim for a basic level of entertainment. Then again, I'm not really baring the soul either, so there is no real sense in writing it in a leather bound book and placing it under lock and key either. Truth be told I don't much stress over these things, but I thought that I should at least post it around here somewhere, in case Carrie ever singles me out for here "Worst Blogs Ever" exercise.
We listened to the progress of the album this weekend, which could almost be considered as working on it. It is really a hum-dinger of an album, and it probably sits at 70% finished. I think I'll get back in the actual math of "working" on it really soon.
This weekend was a little calmer, Saturday night we were in bed before 11, which felt very nice on Sunday morning. I can't really say much about Sunday night other than I think Amy and I drank an entire case of beer each.
Maybe I'll blog again tomorrow.

The sense to sit here and feel like hell

The ghastly uses of time, I am a very bad boy, I can't seem to locate my boot straps. I'm looking the other way before I cross the street, too lazy to even turn the first cheek, to silly to feel proper awful.

Rest is the Old Feel Awful

Resting on my laurel canyons. I am really jumpy and restless today. Embarrassed about another huge wasted weekend. I stand loud and clear on Monday morning and scream quietly, NO MORE... Sheesh. There is much to be done. I'll not have another week of empty promise and back handed poetry... Funny, it all starts sounding the same after a while.
Nothing Doing.

tire legs

I have been walking a lot this week, still very much enjoying it. The mornings are difficult, because I have been taking a rather large dose of sleeping pills in the night. Waking up drowsy with less than 25 minutes to walk 2 miles does not make for leisure. The walk home is a different story. Amy has been walking to and from work also, her stretch is just a little bit farther than mine. I generally get off the train at the same time she gets off work, if not a little earlier, then it's a race to see who can get to the other one before they get home... Okay, it may be a little fuzzy cheesy, but it sure seems like great fun to me. Not to mention the exercise...
The single is nearing completion, I think.... I have been collaborating with someone who goes by the name of a large sandwich, it's been a very worthwhile learning experience, but it also shows me how much I have no understanding of.

Happy Sour

Okay, It's the Friday of my week of trying to feel better. I just ate a HUGE cinnamon roll so let's not get carried away with the victory dance. While I did take a Xanax and fall into a deep chemical sleep last night, I can proudly say I did it while not having drank everything not tied down first. I'm going to go a head and call it victory by decision.
So. I'm pretty excited about things right now. I am pretty certain I have found the "right" guy to master the single, at a pretty remarkable price I might ad. Today I will mail him some wav files and let him take a crack.
