Good Time

Wednesday: Woke around 9, but lazed until 10. Gus seemed intent on ripping my ear off of my head. The phone rang. Cats, shower, and so on. Had a cup of leftover coffee, and some cereal, and watched the rest of a comedy DVD that I need to return. Down basement and some drums. Packed up the car and headed out.

At work, got my add-on internationalization translation code up and running, and then got the loading working also. Took a walk out, made a deposit, bought an adapter at Radio Shack, picked up a couple CDs (asking about the cashier's "flare") and got some pizza and an energy drink. In conversation with B, decided what to do about backwards compatibility. He told me some more stuff about WWDC. I can't fathom Apple's obsession with Objective C. Come on guys. Get real. Coffee and phone call. Met Shawn at 7:30, and drove to Arlington.

CoFD rehearsal. Quite good. Progress on Moving Force and Third Relation, and tightening up of the rest of our repertoire. I found parallels tonight between practicing existing material, and debugging, and working on new material, and writing new code. Very different activities, yet both necessary. To much rehearsing of existing material drains the joy from the work. Realized that I was getting so much bass feedback, because the graphic EQ on the PA had the bass frequencies cranked. Gave Shawn a ride to Arlington. Long way home, with a crazy driver meandering between lanes.

Back home, and hanging out with MB. Made a soy sausage sandwich. Speed read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." Email and such. Now down basement.
