Ugh, I just paid bills. Yuck. I feel dirty somehow.

Okay, so the night wasn't a total waste. I went home and did laundry / went about my musical business. You know, it's been a while since I've officially recorded something and I've forgotten that half the battle of DIY bedroom recording is getting shit set up. My guitar SO wouldn't work electrically. I had to just record it as acoustic. Which isn't a bad idea for the particular song, but I was pissed. I don't know why exactly, but maybe there's something wrong with one of the wires. It just... wouldn't work. I tried a million batteries.

I think when I'm home for Spring Break, or hell maybe even before then, I'm going to bring it to Rossi Music and see if they can figure out what's wrong. They must do instrument repair. If I knew where the hell my damn receipt was, I'd get it and see how long ago I bought it. And I'm positive I didn't send in the guarantee card that came with it, so I can't make the company do anything. Hmph. Well, I'll try one more time, when I get time, to get it to work. Maybe it was the cable.

So yeah, I got the guitar / vocals for one of my songs done, and it sounds pretty decent so far. I even got to experiment a little bit on my keyboard along with the song. I don't know if it's what I want so far though. I mean, it's a possibility. But I was really thinking: violin. A real one, not a keyboard violin sound cause that doesn't work with what I had in mind. But you know, maybe just some percussion would work out alright if it sounds right. We'll see.

I think I'll let Kevin listen to it and see what he thinks, too. Tomorrow night. Cause it's our super pizza + movie fun night. We're even going to play Cribbage. Haha. I love that game. Combining a card game with a board game = excellent.

And well, Sunday Sara and I may get together, later at night. We'll see how we both feel. Cause I have a couple art things to do this weekend. And I have reading to do, but hopefully I'll get a bunch done tomorrow at work.

Speaking of, I should go to bed. I gotta get up at 9:30am tomorrow (so that I can find a place to park on the street so I don't get my car towed for parking in a "commuter" lot. Bah.)

Want want want:

Coolest phone ever. I so am going to get the damn thing.
