I updated my dream journal, I had a dream that was pretty cool. I also came up with a blues riff earlier. I've actually forgotten it, but fortunately I had the foresight to record it just with the camera on the table, so I could remember it later.
Got some coffee, now I can wake up. I don't know if you've ever gevalia coffee, its pretty good. Apparently my wife's uncle bought a coffee machine that came with regular shipments of gevalia coffee, but he doesn't really drink it, so they gave us a box of it. It's good stuff but I mentioned that previously. I know it seems pretty late in the day to drink coffee but I'm kind of a caffiene junkie. That's all I can say about that topic.
This last call I got lasted an hour. This guy talked a lot. But it's no big deal. Haven't gotten a call since and that was maybe 20 or 30 minutes ago, so now it's dropped off, maybe I can find something productive to do.
Got a song worked out, like to play it, here it goes ...

Seriously though I do have something I want to record. I have to work in a bit, I have some other stuff I have to do around the house, but probably I will get the other stuff done first, then log into work and hopefully if its not to busy I'll try and record it anyway.
I updated my dream journal today. I got up really early this morning for a minute, like 4 am, but it was really cold so I turned up the heat. The heat seemed to make me sleep better. Maybe that's why I haven't been sleeping so well, and maybe why I'm not dreaming. I can't leave the heat on too much though, gas is expensive here. Maybe its expensive everything, I don't know. I can get another blanket or something though if it helps me sleep better.
I'm trying to come up with a song to record, but nothing's really grabbing my attention.
I used to have a keyboard ( like music keyboard ) that was really cool. It was full size and had a stand and a chair with it and had all these beats and so forth. Then however there was a mishap with the cat that caused the keyboard to fall over and a couple of the keys got broken and it was rendered useless. I can't really blame the cat though, she was really small even though she was full grown. It was highly unusual for her to cause any disruption bouncing around, but you never know.
It seems like with writing, its so easy to get ridiculously far removed from reality. It's like in some ways there's a freedom from limitation, but at the same time not having that limitation just makes it easy to ignore parameters in such a way that the writing just veers into oblivion. I'm not really sure how to explain it better than that. I can say though that with really good writers that I like, they always seem to know how to avoid that and to keep it down to earth.
I ate too much garbage over the weekend, just going out with the family, we went out to a restaurant on Saturday and then to a BBQ on Sunday, had cake, etc. I threw out teh rest of the birthday cake this morning so I don't eat anymore of it. There's not that much left but I just want to have it around. That food always slows me down. The food I normally eat is rice, beans, vegetables, this type of thing. Of course the old joke is that you are hungry again and hour later, but its not really like that. The fullness after eating Asian food is different than the fullness after eating say a steak or something. You know what I'm saying. I don't want to sound like a food snob though, I do eat junk food once in a while and don't really sweat it. You can't ruin several days of dieting just because you ate a greaseburger, but if you haven't eaten a greaseburger in a while you will know the difference as it sits in your stomach like a rock.
I slept for a while, just waking up now. I want to work on a song. It may have to wait until later tonight though. It has to be done by 1:30 otherwise I have to start getting ready for work.
The father-in-laws family is going to have us over now, another birthday party I guess, that's cool. I'm not typically one to go out that much but I appreciate the gesture. I've slept a lot today, basically since I got home earlier so hopefully I'll be awake later when I get back and maybe can work on a video or something.
Just waking up. Did essential stuff around the house, but other than that I pretty much slept all day. I heard a great song I want to try and record, I tried to play it just now but couldn't work it out. I'll try it again later.
