"Plain 5 3 Plain" "5 3 Plain 5" "3 Plain 5 3"

Thursday: Up late, but woke at a reasonable time. Gave Gus his treatments. Some blood in his nasal discharge, which probably is not such a great omen. Shower. Down basement and morning practices. Bowl of cereal. Tried burning a DVD for Shawn with a bunch of pictures of our old band Sabot. The DVD didn't want to burn on my laptop, but it was fine on the iMac. I realized this was because the media is an old formulation, and the drive on my laptop is a little finicky. Some drum practice.

Hot out today. Turned on the AC in the house for the first time this year. Off to work. Hit heavy traffic on Storrow and detoured across the BU bridge to Mem Drive. At the office a large coffee. Alex helped me figure out a bug in his code. Stepping through code. Got the CD drive door to open and close, but not quite to the coaster stage. MB made an interesting lunch, including her version of a "Chip Butty" (i.e. potato sandwich). Brief meeting with Rbt and B, and Mth showed me some artwork. At 7:15 went out and did some shopping. Met Shawn at 7:45.

Good rehearsal in Arlington. Spent most of it working on EoTN, and the dual interference pattern |: "Plain 5 3 Plain" "5 3 Plain 5" "3 Plain 5 3" :|
Then ran through a bunch of material, mostly sounding pretty tight. Acoustic tonight. A couple guys asked to see my guitar on the way out. Dropped Shawn at his place.

Back home, some foods with MB (microwaved burrito for me. she had some snacks and tea). Exchanged some gifts for our 5th wedding anniversary. Down basement, much email. Now to complete the day.
