My beloved black jacket is the warmest jacket ever. It’s like I’m wearing God’s love. But every time I sit down or make a sudden move with my jacket on, feathers keep bursting out of my jacket at all different places. Like my jacket is a battlefield, and little artillery shells explode on the surface, resulting in a series of feather explosions.
But enough about war, and rumours of war.
Today was decent. I’ve been enjoying my car commutes to work ever since I got the Ender’s series CD audio books by Orson Scott Card, and Speaker of the Dead has been blowing my mind. It was a great read two years ago, but even better as an audio book.
Marie has some bang chung, this Vietnamese specialty food they serve during Tet. She told Steve and I that this was made by her relative’s friends who are awesome cooks in Chicago (but don’t remember if she said they were chefs or not.) Anyway, it tasted pretty sweet, although I have to say my favorite, favorite Vietnamese dish is Goi Quon, which is out of this world. It rivals kare-kare in the hierarchy of food awesomeness in my life.
So I had a little of the bang chung, and also had rice and some Wisconsin beef jerky that Marie had extra pieces of. While I ate, we all watched two episodes of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Then I helped out with her lab project for an hour, before I ended up going back to my room to work on April.
For April, I re-sequenced some of the drums, and re-tracked those drums, and the other instruments on the file, and then recorded 4 takes of main vocals and 1 take of all the harmonies. It’s getting there; I think tomorrow during my lunch break I will work on compiling the main vocal takes, and after work (but before running?) I will add a harpsichord part using Miroslav to give it a little bit more of a chamber pop feel. It still needs 2-3 more different instruments for it to be fully ready for Saturday’s release to the myspace world, though. But I think I will find it tonight and tomorrow, and perhaps on Saturday morning.
