So, quick update before I jet back to work.
Work's going OK, but the dayshift is kinda fucking us night guys around (ie, not doing much work, or just doing shitty setups, like setting the wrong frequency for the wrong material.) The guys on my crew are a riot, making the crappy days a bit better.
Was fucking cold last night. Least I didn't have...

YOU RULE MAN!
So that's that. Back to work next week.
Friday: Check into hotel
Saturday: Orientation, Safety and Con. spaces refreshers
Not sure if I'm gonna have Sunday off or not.
And I found out I'm on the night crew this year.
Getting up in the afternoon and going to bed at daybreak isn't a problem for me, it's something I'm very used to.
Problem is that...

Oh, I'm not dissing iciban. Just think of the money you'd save if you ate it every day.
Mwahah. *Rubs hands*
I forsee a major studio expansion soon. Mostly comprising of rack gear (MIDI patchbay, new mixer and outboard fx etc).
And - gonna build a ghetto hybrid drum kit. Homemade drum trigger pads, PVC stand and all. Gonna try to secure some big plastic chemical drums next month and wire those up as well, all fed into an Alesis D4. MMmmm.

Yes... the bar is horrid. Usually I have to be massively MASSIVELY drunk in order to even have a bearable time.
Everyone looks a little fucked up in those pics... save for DespairFactor because she looks gorgeous in every single picture taken of her.

Yay to the studio expansion ... boo to the work needed on the car.
Hope all is well.

My brain hurts. Not as much as before, but it's enough to keep me awake - I think it's from lack of sleep - I got up way too early and went to bed way too late, cold shower didn't help none, so I've been having short naps all day, waking up only to eat, drink coffee and pee.
Now because of this, my eyes...

Hehe, yeah, I'm glad you got home free of werewolf/zombie/frostbite attacks. I still can't get over how WEIRD the fog was, I got lost a couple times it was so thick...Creepy good fun.

Score!
I gotta get me arse back to Van City soon - I can't believe it's been almost a year since! Hopefully I'll have some downtime in the late spring/early summer, so I can have an extended stay this time. Even better would be if we had work to do in the mainland. That would be the best shit ever. Better still, I should take...

and yeah I think that hot dog bun doeshave mold on it...gross.... So, gonna go downtown tomorrow and sell a couple redundant effects pedals that I have kicking around (that I've used maybe a few times each). Hopefully I can get a decent price for the lot. The wah should net me at least 50 clams, and the other two maybe around 25 apiece. Not bad, it'll cover the cost of shipping and a fraction of the...

What type of pedals man? I have a distortion pedal ... but I need a digital delay pedal as well. Let me know what you have and I might take some off your hands.

Well, productive weekend. Got 2 songs down so far. Seeing as I lost the master files for what was to be the first track during a hardware/software failure, I'm gonna have to do some digging and see if I backed the tracks up on to a CDRW or not. I really can't remember, but either way, I'm going to have to salvage what I can...

-Fell on the ice 3 times.
-Fought to keep my van from jumping out of the icy ruts and smashing into parked cars. My arms hurt....

-22 days until de party (yay!!!)
-2 months and I'll be back to work (yay!! money! I can finally pay off my debt and fix my crapmobile!)
Now, until I am fully informed, I will assume we're doing 10 hour days again. For 35 days (or so) straight. Hopefully, though, we can do more 12 hour days this time.
At that time, though, I won't...

I like your picture! It makes me happy!!

Interesting. My roots are metal and industrial too. Had the leather jacket in highschool and everything. 
My dad got me interested in electronica and I have and like a bit of everything except terrorcore and gabber. I actually like trance but I can handle only so much of it at a party unless it's very very good. I like listening to trance on the highway when I drive. It's good daydream food. Other than that, if I'm at a party I like house or technoor some really good breaks. Although, lately all the breaks I hear falls into the category of the trance. It sounds the same as it did five years ago. I'm there to dance and dance hard and trance doesn't promote that. Not bad trance anyway.

Well, the gears are starting to roll again, my entrepreneurial spirit rekindled.
I've had two business plans formulating in the back of my head for quite some time now. The first of which I have 50% completed - it was my business plan from my Entrepreneurship 30 class in high school, and was so solid I not only aced the class, but was informed that...
