Whoo! So recording tonight was another adventure. Much problems with the midi programming, but eventually we bastardized a way to do what we needed, so we got at least all the vocals done for "Heh" (and there are a lot, so that was cool.) So, too bad we couldn't get the drums tonight, but he has enough now to work with so he can do drums on his own. So, all is still good! And again, I was really surprised about how well I was able to do everything. We got all the vocals done in one or two takes per track, so that was awesome. Finished up vocals for "I Can't" too now that my voice had regained some strength. So, rock! John had been playing around with some effects for my voice for "I Can't" and came up with a pretty cool sound. He called it "FM with reverb" lol, so it's got a low-fi'ish sound, but still pretty haunting. It goes well with the guitar effects that Derek is using, and the whole song itself has a kind of anxious/stressful feel to it, so it all goes together really well. It kinda has a Club Decease sound to it, so go us! "Heh" is gonna have more of a Snake River Conspiracy / Otto's Daughter / Birthday Massacre feel to it I think. It's such a crazy song. And I think finally "Purgatory" is gonna be more like A Perfect Circle once that's done.

Other than that, not much else going on. Tomorrow and Wednesday we have faculty inservice at work, so I have to pull a few long days...I hate having to go in early. But, I could use the extra hours and money. Plus, it sounds like we're all just gonna sit in the booth in the auditorium and play on our computers the whole time anyway, so I guess I'll just use the time to finish up these reviews for RAM, right? Then, Thursday morning I go over and meet with Micheal and Chris about me going back to the hotel. I called over there today and set that up; talked to (the other) John for a bit, which was cool, since we haven't hung out in awhile. So, good times.

Oh. And this is fun. I think one of the guys in the tech department at work has a thing for me. Maybe I'm just imagining it, but it seems like he's been going out of his way to say hi to me and do little things, so I dunno. He's pretty cute, too. I guess we'll see, eh? I'm so bad. :-)

Also, I'm gonna redye my hair sometime this week. It's probably a little too wild for the hotel, being half of it is black and the other half is purple. So I'm gonna go with a really dark red almost black color, which will be cool and goth, but tame enough for work. So I will post pics later. Speaking of pics, yes Mike, I'm gonna put another pirate pic up, just for you:
