Friday: Gave a bit too strong of a yell, through head-cold-vocal-chords, to MB, who was heading out, and injured my voice. Couldn't speak in much above a whisper for the rest of the day, without sounding like a crazy robot. Not that I have anything against crazy robots, but trying to order a Jasmine Tea with that voice can result in some pretty strange looks from the coffee shop employees.
Made the bed. Email. Gus. Shower. Called the local vet and the vet hospital and let them know about Leo's passing. Ate some cereal and feeling lazy watched the season 2 finale of The Wire. Down basement for morning stuff, and drums. My drum practice is actually much more regular than my guitar practice these days. Why? It's fun. Some little tidying in the house.
Headed across town to work. They didn't have any Jasmine Tea, so I got some Spicy Chai (sans milk and sugar) and a sandwich. Continued work on my vari-speed project. It's about done now. The quality is much improved and I think it has a pretty good feel. Someone said that the FireWire port on his laptop had been used so much, that it was hanging like a wizard's sleeve. I said "high five!" (in a crazy robot voice). Burrito. MB called and a crazy robot answered. I left work around 10:20.
Hit traffic on the long drive. Stopped at the grocery store. Decided I didn't want to ask the guy stocking yogurt where the maple syrup was, in a crazy robot voice. Back home, me and MB put away the groceries, making jokes about Gus, who looked on with a puzzled expression on his face. I told her about the episode of The Wire I had watched (in a whisper). She's taking a shower as I type on the iMac. I still do not have a laptop.
