bass agony
a month off was a bad deal. and, to think that i told marie that i wanted to take like 6 months off when we got back to denver. what was i thinking?!? essentially, i'm out of shape, and this driving rock stuff is much more challenging for me than the swingin' stuff. there's more stamina required, anyway. i'll get this down, once i understand the subtleties of those low guitars. i'm not catching onto the changes--it's not like a RC change that you can see coming down the track. when i don't hit them, it doesn't sound bad bad, just semi-bad.
i think that the problem is that i'm used to having a hand in the writing from square one. now, there's like a semi-polished song that i'm supposed to impart a line to. i guess it's no worse than learning those ghost buffalo songs in a week. the wizardly tito left lots of room in those to impart the jz slacker bass lines though. i just need to sit down and focus on this more, and less on my job.
work is really out of control for the next month or so. i've been slacking on plan writing, it seems, but i've had no choice but to write like 8 in the last week. i'm totally over doing it, and i think that they're coming out half-assed.
tomorrow, i begin the sampling hell. one day in boulder (if i can get a ham sandwich and some antifreeze), 4 in cheyenne. then, i get a one week break to write more spcc plans. then, two weeks in utah doing the hazardous fun stuff.
in other news, i think that i'm in love (really) with someone that i ought to fuckin' know fuckin' better than to fall in love with. that sentence didn't work right. she's super--and someone else's girlfriend. i hate that. not my best friend's girlfriend, though, so that's good.
that's odd...i don't have a best friend. i hadn't really thought about that. very interesting. maybe i do, and it's this girl. wouldn't that be awkward?
damn, another epic sober post.

and, if she reads this, i'm probably screwed.
the internet is all about the girls reading it and hence us being screwed.
sometimes i wish you had a livejournal account, just so i could friend you and let you read the things that i hide.
i have a lot to tell you. i've been working on that hevcof thing. what do you think of it? it is much cooler with the guitars . . . i'll try to get something workable soon.
