So I've been feeling a lot better today. Still anxious (and I'm working on that/building up courage related to that) but not so depressed. We'll see what tomorrow holds.
Anyway actually made it out of the house at 9 to go on a bike ride (I wanted to beat the rain). Spent a bit over an hour on that, came home and did laundry/lazed around a bit. Spent much of the afternoon talking to Jason (who was bored at work and also trying to get me to do something about aforementioned anxiety) and working on music. I still can't get Fishing for Birds right. I think I'm going back to an older take, but I will probably keep the motorik beat I was working on. Lyrically, I think the direction I want to take is an interplay between two singers: one describing the birds (they are a metaphor) and one describing the fish (also a metaphor). I did publish a song though. I found this old one-take piano piece I had recorded at some point (no idea when). There were already some slogans attached. So I mixed it a little bit and published it as another track to Fishing for Birds (the album, not the song). It actually fits in with the general theming of the album pretty well. It's intense and an unusual way of delivering a sort of punky, sort of anarchist message. It's almost like a bizarro version of Press Gang. Not to mention that basically everything on the album is experimental, except maybe Freedom Fighterand Grassroots Idealism. At this point I just need to finish Counting Sheeple and the title track and that album should be pretty near done.
Then I did more grading.
