Today was a good day. I played Oblivion, I started a new character. He's what I would like to picture myself as if I were a self serving but kind hearted wood elven ranger with an affinity for the blade and a low tolerance for corruption. . . riiight.
Then I made dinner for my brother and I, chicken and zucchini on the barbeque a la Adrian, with rice.
After I went swimming with Essa, it was warmer in the pool than it was outside, it was fucking fantastic. We had intended to go to Twigs after that, for our usually coffee/talk ritual, but it's tuesday, and Twigs is closed on tuesdays, so we went to that new place in Ile Perrot. It feels like drinking coffee at a rave, you're practically in a warhouse, and Mr i wish my name was gino on the other side of the counter was playing the most mundane dance music I've ever heard, he was a nice guy though.
Band practice went swell, we finally rewrote "What did the air ever do to you?". All the guitar leads are the same, we picked up the rythm, restructured it and wrote better, it's huge now, it makes my bum shake, no joke. We're very satisfied with it, and will probably play it on thursday if Jord's feeling good about it.
Then after practice I somehow managed to get roped into doing back ups on The Trigger Effect recordings with Jamie and Taylor of Black Ships. I spent a good hour screaming nonsense into a microphone, it was interesting. I gave them a lift home, got home myself, finished my band's One Sheet, and now I'm blogging. Today was swell.
Tommorow, Sean is hosting my barbeque; pirate themed, even if the only pirate thing there is the grog that John and I intend to brew. Mmm grog. I'm going to use the official recipe from wikipedia then adjust it to taste. Grog has a fun history, if you're interested you can look here.

Before all that though, I'm working in the morning, and I somehow have to convince them to let me go at 2:30 because i forgot to take the day off for my dentist appointment. It shouldn't be a problem, they owe me a few favours, but I'm going to have to start returning their kindness now because Dagwoods has done atleast 3 or 4 favours the past few weeks and I need to readjust my work karma a little.
