Makin' out on music

What's your music for the day?
I woke up to Nickelback's Savin' Me, from the latest, All The Right Reasons. I hardly sit down to listen to modern rock — playing and listening a whole CD, let's say — but I've always had a fondness for the Vancouver quartet. Probably because of the very hummable power ballads.
It's great to make love to a power ballad (I wanted to get explicit here, but on second thoughts...)

At work, at play


Current mood: Exhausted but happy
On rotation: Up All Night, The John Scofield Band


I kinda like this office. People are very professional, quite efficient as well — ah, you'll always have two or one proverbial bad apples, but hey, as long as I'm getting paid......
Over the past 22 days, I have managed my routine to an extent where I can actually cull over a couple of hours to play some drums, though I have not been to any reherasals. There hardly has been any reherasals, so that's that. But we have a show on March 9, and I have a new, kick-ass computer. I need to get going with the electronic shite. Tonnes to do.

Is this blog still alive?


It's my birthday. And I am back.
And really sorry not to have blogged for 6 or seven months before this entry. Since something called Orkut happened to me over that period, my writing habit was well-nigh butchered. As it is, I never sat down at a machine for too long: and for blogging, I really need time. The other thing is, probably because much of what you write runs a danger of being hacked when sent on page, I write with a vengeance at work.

Other thoughts: this place has weird energies. And it sure is surreal to work with your girlfriend in the same office. But hey, I need the job; keeps me focused.

However, I'd now be happy remembering the fact that I have a large chunk of WHATEVER I always wanted, gear-wise. I have the K Customs and even an A Custom, and one of the best set of drums in this town. The thing that's eating me is whether joining this job — even with its promise of a 10 to 6 — will actually cut down on playing time. In any case, if that is the scene, I'll go back to where I once was. The music, amigos, will never stop.
