Gremlin and I played at an open mic at Portfolio's in Long Beach tonight. Nice place-- great atmosphere, friendly people, and some really good performers. Particularly inspiring was a duo called "Sandbloom." They vere all-around excellent! Also I had some very tasty hot spiced apple cider.

So... it was a fun night! We're playing again Friday night at Coffeehaven, also in Long Beach.

Wow I haven't posted on here in ages. Mainly because I've been getting ready to travel to Long Beach, CA, where I am now. Home of D. M. Gremlin Productions, where I'm having a working vacation until January 14. I got here on Christmas day, and we've already had several great recording sessions with bands, with more to come. Sometimes we do webcam broadcasts...

Hey It's great to see you are still around!! I'dve e-mailed you but I thought maybe you wanted to be left alone. Have fun in the land of the fruits and nuts.

Not really sure why I'm updating right now. Probably because I'm feeling down and procrastinating on my cleaning and chores and I don't really have anyone to talk to about anything right now and meanwhile I'm sitting here in front of the computer burning DVD's to clear my completely full drives again.
Humorous note, since shooting yesterday, Mom and I have been picking up .22...

Studio ended up really cool yesterday, which I figured even though I'd been unexcited about it earlier in the week. I got assigned another big project as far as getting the studio featured on another web site. It isn't difficult work, and it means I'm useful to them for this much longer. Matt, the engineer that is supposedly supervising me directly (even though he's been...

Updating the Cingular saga.
The manager calls me back at 8pm, my time. I don't know what kind of hours they keep there, and it doesn't really matter, but I've gotten calls from these people at some strange times. Better than not getting them at all, but strange.
He says that $2.65 in TAX was taken out of my $10 credit. I said, NO. You...

i have pay as you go - easy peasey lemon squeezy wink

I have worked on implementing billing systems - it is stunningly complex and brain-warping but like all systems if the input is crap the output tends to match it.

On the other hand we never hear much from customers who are undercharged until we backbill - they thiought it was free - ha!!

Cingular is made of the dumbest people alive next to the Old Navy people. Switch to a new phone company when you can, before they make you pay some $400 bullshit, like they did me.

Fighting with Cingular again/still.

Last month the upgrade to my plan didn't show up on the bill and I had to call the manager I'd talked to about it twice to get him to call me back. He said he'd "dropped the ball" on putting it through, but he'd get it taken care of.
The upgrade shows on my account now, since shortly after that...

Not-so-new thought, but it's pertinent to my now. You don't always feel "sad" when you're depressed.
Partially through conscious effort, I'm keeping my moods mostly level. I'm keeping up with deadlines, going to work, doing stuff I'm supposed to do.
But when all I'm looking forward to is for it to be the weekend again, so I can sleep as much of the day as...

yeah but you have to create some fun time in that pile of chores otherwise you'll go nutso.

I hate having to get up and go when you know your body needs the sleep. And yes I understand the feeling you're describing. It's a shame we don't come with indicator lights so that others can see just how lousy you feel inside while putting on your best effort on the outside.

So what fun stuff for you then?

What a great weekend... first, and by far worst, conflict with a friend, then hours of cleaning, now today I wake up with a cramp, thinking, "but it's WAY too soon for my period!" but sure enough, it's my period.
Ok, I know it's not technically part of the weekend anymore, but the weeks I get a three-day weekend, that's exactly how I consider it,...

Ah so the Clean Police have been by then. It's not unusual to have off-cycle periods though due to stress/illness etc.

Well enjoy the dinner at lesat it provides distraction amongst friends I guess smile

Yay. Feeble, halfhearted expression of joy. The bathroom is clean. Hooray, shiny, spot-free mirrors, hooray scrubbed and uncluttered countertop. Yay.

Often I would listen to music while I clean, but I wasn't in the mood for that today, other than a couple of songs that were in my head. I brought the bird in and let him perch on this funky little magazine-stand thing that's...

The candles on my journal page... I still have the honey ones, and the sandalwood vanilla. The honey ones are the 2"x9" and are $10 each, and the sand/van are 3"x6" and sell for $12 each. I also do small baby pillars that are 2"x2" that are really nice and $2 each. I can also do a set... people really like the set of 3 with a 3x3, 3x4 and 3x6. I've got a few more almost finished that I need to get pics of on my next days off (tue-wed). I'm running low on wax and need to order more... so if you can't find anything she likes, then perhaps you could do a special order for the holidays smile

I guess I'm going to clean the bathroom today.
There are other things I need to do, some of which I want to do, and some of which I don't. And I really don't want to clean the bathroom. But it has to be done, and something's saying today's the day to do it.
I think it isn't going to be that terribly difficult or...

I've spent most of the last 24 hours tracking down information about my engineering album credits, toward this NARAS membership thing. The manager of my studio emailed me back with some info from the online app, which I was referring to the mail-in one, and then I finally came upon another page of faq's about the requirements for voting membership.
It turns out that the...

Your dogs are all super cute!! It's so nice to find other people that have full out birthday parties for their dogs wink

The candles... well you can buy them through me directly. That's where most of my sales are, just carting them around with me and showing them to people wherever. I'm also still small enough that I don't mind doing custom orders!
