Ok, so I'm feeling slightly better today (about to go to bed soon).
I've finished mixing the Fremont CD...so now it's on to mastering. Mr. Harter will be giving it a shot and I have high hopes for said music's recorded quality. I think he'll do a good job.
I think I'm over some of the creative block I've been having, which is a positive thing. When I'm 100% I'll know for sure.
On a much sadder note: I've quit Reptoids. It definitely wasn't easy that's for sure. In fact we just put out a really fun little e.p. called Slayed. I recommend people buy it. What I was finding is that I couldn't meet the bands goals with my time commitment. I really want to focus on school and getting my recording engineer degree. The band wanted (and still going to) practice a couple times a week and do shows every other weekend. If this was 5 years ago...I would have said hell yeah. But I just can't do that now. And quite frankly it's unfair of me to be in the band and hold them back by having to cancel shows or not take shows because of scheduling conflicts.
Like I said earlier, I want to apprentice in a studio and that will eat up alot of my time, because not only will have that, but I also have the 9-5 M-F. I just don't really have the time.
I do wish them tons of future success and hope they find a new bass player who is willing to tour and play out alot. They're a good bunch of scrappy kids. If they don't get a guy for a bass player, I may have to show up and sing "We are the Wolves" as I sing that on the disc and I don't know if they could pull it off....well, Meg could (she'd find that amusing..I hope).
I just heard that Derek quit NDL as well. That sucks too, but he has a new little clone and needs to do the dad thing.
Bass players...what a bunch of jerks.

Being sick sucks
The title really says it all. I left work early on Friday (which I never do) and went home to sit in my pajamas as I was overtaken with a fever. First I was super cold, then I was burning up, cycle repeat.
This whole weekend I sat under a blanket on my couch watching TV trying to feel somewhat better. The other thing is that I don't take medicine. I know that seems crazy, but it's true. Nothing for headaches or anything. However, I caved. I had to take some Aleve and damn did it reduce the symptoms.
My throat today hurts pretty badly, which probably has everything to do with the fact that I was coughing all night long. "Is the pain terrible?" Yes. I guess I'll take some Aleve for the next couple of days. Feeling like shit sucks.

News is good
Apparently America should care:

This presidential election is getting a bit out of hand. The back-and-forth of the democratic candidates makes me want to vote McCain. No I'm just kidding. Nothing would do that.
Anyway, I'm pretty tired and can't really concentrate, plus I've been having a design funk lately. I think I need to meditate or medicate.

UGH!
So some of you may know that I have bad heartburn (see: GERD). Well for the last 2 years, I pretty much stopped it in it's tracks and have been able to eat anything (still don't drink much or consume caffeine at all).
Well, it came back with a vengeance. Apparently, my esophagus isn't cool just chillin like a villain.
I read online about some yogurts helping. So, I'm back to watching what I eat so I stop the feeling of burning and puking. DAMMIT.
On a better side note, I think I may have posted this, but I get to apprentice in a studio. And I picked up all of Haste's discs from Century Media (www.cmdistro.com). $3 a piece. Can't beat it. Also got Ahab's "The Call of the Wretched Sea" which is basically an Ambient Doom album about the story of "Moby Dick". It's really good and I'd recommend it even if you aren't into doom and can handle low low low vocals.
I think I may start posting more.

Interweb
So I just read a blog from Matt Cutts (google employee) about Writely.
Basically it's an online word processor, spreadsheet and powerpoint creator. The coolest thing is that you can save your documents and then have access to them anywhere you have an internet connection. I think that's pretty great for people who don't have a laptop and hate carrying around those jump drives.
Plus, because google is tied in with blogger.com, you can publish what you write into your blog. You can also share your documents with other people by publishing them to a special URL.
I don't know, let's say you are writing a script for a movie called Korporate Karate 2. You can have the document online and accessible to the people you wish to see it and can create collaboratively regardless of distance. No more do you have to send the word doc to someone and have them make changes, then send it back, thus creating an endless amount of versions and clutter.
