What I Did Last Weekend, Part 2.

this is old news by now. but i promised. so here goes. this is from the weekend of June 10th through June 13th, written the night of the 13th.

Just got back from Greenville recording Solafide. Its 10:13. I'm exhausted. Solafide stuf sounds really good though in general, so that is good. makes all the work worthwhile

Transcendent moment of the day: Driving back home, huge storm. Lightening. Rain. Wind. Rain. The outside was completely grey. One of the worst storms I've ever driven through. Thought at one point I might see a funnel cloud any minute. The storm begins to clear up. I see orange sky through a slight tear in the clouds.

Suddenly, the sun makes its landing on the horizon and sets teh world on fire. All around what used to be pure grey is pure bright polished bronze. "The Gloaming" finishes playing and now "There There" begins. It is still raining, and I am having trouble seeing, but not because of the grey downpour, but because of the pure horizontal column of orange light that turns the blacktop, the grass, the street signs, the other cars, the houses, and the sky to radiant light. I'm awestruck, then lightening flashes across the sky like vericose veins. I round the corner and the sky in front is blue, and orange behind. Thom Yorke is telling me there is always a siren singing me to shipwreck. I am presented with the most vivid, full rainbow I've ever seen in my life. In a blue sky. Surrounded by golden landscape. The rainbow is so vivid, in fact, that a second, concentric rainbow is necessary to frame the first. More lightening. "We are accidents waiting to happen." And it is STILL raining.

And that's pretty much my story...

Ok OKAY so NOW HERE THIS!!! I have a digital camera. It is small. it is 7 megapixels. It has a 2.5inch lcd. it is sexy. it has good manual features. I have a gigabyte SD card for it. I love it. I will be posting my life to the server in my basement on a more regular basis now that I have a camera. to see what I did tonight (including a video of me screwing up a guitar part in the studio), cruise on over to the Random Life Gallery at The Gallery Nouveaux. It is the hip new thing to do.
