I guess I have to update because Saya says so... I suck at blogs. I've started and abandoned like 5 of them.
I'm a little nervous about my last entry after reading this:
Blogging can get you fired now
The day after I wrote that about the cokehead he called me (well, IMed me) into the conference room to talk. I started wondering if he was maybe a suicidegirls member and was having a blow-fueled tweaking fit about being featured in my journal. But, apparently he's reorganizing the content unit and wants to promote me to a new position he's creating called director of production, so in addition to being in charge of all the ringtones I'll be in charge of wallpapers and video ringtones. He knows I organize shit like a geek and make him look good. Not sure what his job description is gonna be, or actually what it was before. I thought thats what he did. But I'm gonna run shit and get it all locked down, see, Myeahhh!! if there's a decent raise involved (trying to be cautiously optimistic about that.)
*sigh*
I don't want an entertainment technology career, I just wanna rock, we had funeral crashers practice (still no bass player) at Oliver's (drummer) new place where there's a jam room. My shredding was a little sloppy, but it was good to play after about a 2 week hiatus. We have a good slot at the Dropdead festival NYC on Halloween, we have to have it together for that. Nina Hagen is on the bill. This band could go places if we could find a bassist and practice every once in a while.
I gotta write some somgs and put a solo album together and push that. I have not written a decent song in at least a couple of years. Maybe at some point all the ringtone programming will flip some mental switch and I will start cranking out perfect pop songs (dark, minimalist pop, like the psychedelic furs and jesus and mary chain, but different, like some kind of music thats on the tip of my brain, but not quite apprehendable) because my job for the last 2 years has included taking full length pop songs and choosing the best 30 seconds of them, then programming that part into a simplified version with a sequencer. Perhaps now I have an ingrained sense of the pop hook, and it will kick in if I concentrate on it and do sex magick to a Kelly Clarkson track.
