Well I’ve been swimming every day now for about 10 days and I feel pretty good. Spent a long time trying to figure out how to get my Nord Lead to chase Logic with midi. Went to the grocery and got some sushi for lunch. I have 4 records in my itunes now: New Radiohead, AIR, and 2 by Harold Budd and Brian Eno. Man, when you drive around and listen to those things, it’s like the world becomes a movie! I’ve been listening to a lot of ambient and electronic music, and there’s something nice about that stuff. It feels modern, and usually I’m listening to stuff that was made years ago. Also KCRW. I love listening to that. Alot of the stuff sounds great until the vocal comes in. Except Radiohead, becuase Thom Yorke has such an excellent voice. Still not drinking coffee, and oddly, I have more energy. Played Tennis with David Mead and Brad Jones. We invented a game called “Scones” where you don’t have to really serve, and you just play a 10 pt. tie-break. It’s really fun. Serving is the part that really messes my game up. Home and showered and made cous-cous with yogurt and cucumber dressing, and had a couple pieces of rotisserie grocery store chicken. It was good, but all the computer work started making me really tired at a certain point. Then Melissa Mathes texted so I met her for a drink at PM. She’s really nice. She said her boyfriend Ryan got the gig playing guitar for Jewel. He’s a great guitarist. I really feel in danger of spending a lot of cash on itunes but I need to be careful about that. Home at 11 and played my most recent track for David Mead and he played a couple keyboard parts while he was brushing his teeth.
