Timing ..... is Everything !
Timing IS everything !
Well ... life seems to throw curveballs at ya every once in a while and it sure did on Wednesday the 26th day of October in the year of our Lord 2005. Most importantly, nobody got hurt ... not that there was an incident of any kind ... just wanted to make that clear from the start. But Preston did find himself at the Urgent Care Center with his daughter. Everything was fine except for the wait ... an hour and a half.
AAArrgh !
But the fine people at Children's UCC took care of the situation quickly and everyone is well. No matter what though, I always worry about our kids and their health. Together, we all have 7 children and they ARE our reasons for getting up of a morning ... mainly because they're whining about being hungry or something like that ... Geez ... you gotta feed 'em too ? (Just kidding ya'll ... I know they have to be fed.)
Also, Wednesday decided to be the day from hell at Sonic Arts for Austin and I. Everyone has those projects that are just doomed from the get go and ours came through that day. I won't go into detail (to protect the innocent) but that was the last thing Austin and I needed was to sit in front of another computer for 3 more hours trying to hash out a couple of songs while our minds were back at SA wondering what the heck went wrong. We ended up at work until 8:00pm as it was.
AAArrgh #2 !
So, to say the least, we missed out on getting together and enjoying a relaxing evening of Miming. Dave did get a chance to stop by SA and lay his voice down for a Toyota radio spot and take a gander at a couple minutes of what we laid down the week before and talk a few minutes about life ... which is always enjoyable. It also gave me the opportunity to apologize to him for being such a stinker at our last session. Again, life got in the way of focusing on the moment. Here we are ... at our ages ... having the time of our lives .. an opportunity that a lot of musicians struggle to get ... and I'm worrying about the price of rice in China.
AAArrrgh #3 !
Austin and I had a chance to "Tech Talk" about some things, mainly getting the opportunity to dust off and bring my analog 16 track recorder in and seeing what sound that would bring to us. It may be more trouble than it's worth, but we do want to try as much as we can to make this album different. Not for different's sake, but more for how the Mimes sound is today than it was 2 years ago. So we are up for trying anything new ... to us, that is.
Well, it's time to get back to eeking out a living. I'm really looking forward to next week and I hope it shows with how much we can get done ... but more importantly ... how much fun we have at doing it. Until the next time ...
