Once again double posting due to laziness. Not the worst thing in the world.
So yesterday (Friday) I got up and was pretty lazy about getting out of bed. As I was getting ready to go to work, my coworker came over so that I could help fix his bike as I promised I'd do. Replacing the chain was easy but I managed to royally screw up switching out the breaks. I could not for the life of me get them properly aligned and just kept making things worse. Man I hate rim breaks. So that really soured my mood and I just worked from home for the rest of the day.
I was going to go for a run (doing the 8 mile loop that I haven't done yet, just to see if I have the endurance for it) but the weather was threatening rain so I didn't. I probably could have squeezed in the run but oh well. I ended up recording the vocals for "Fishing for Birds". The first 4 verses and the choruses turned out pretty well I think. At least, as well as a non-pop singer like me is going to get. The last two verses need work, because I've lost my ability to emo scream. I'll probably record them so that they are more aligned with the bass line I was playing (which also needs to be rerecorded. Not sure when, new roommate comes next week and I don't want to bother him if he's working...or not working...from home). Anyway, now I need to set up the drums an pads and basically finish out all the instrumentation. It's weird for me to record the vocals first, but that felt most right for this song.
Oh my sister got engaged and I forgot to do laundry.
Today was the first Saturday in a while where I actually slept in. Like 8:30! It was pretty restless sleep though. Didn't do much in the morning, just prepariong for the rest of the day. Around 10:30/11 we headed off to Devil's Lake for a picnic with my roommate's family's ward, to swim and to climb. I ate a lot of food in preparation of the swim across the lake. We swam from south shore to north shore (which based on google, was probably over a mile), rested at north shore for a while and then swam back. Now I actually only swam (completely unassisted) like 1.75 miles (okay maybe a bit more, it's ambiguous), since on the way back I went on a detour with my roommate to check out some rocks (I did climb them, wet hands and no shoes) so he pulled me with the kayak. Was still kicking but assistance is assistance. Ate more and then we went over to climb. Did a couple of problems. Most impressive was one that was meant to be done with no hands but even with hands was really hard. The main issue was the lack of good holds up top, so I basically had to throw my knee up top to give myself enough support to get over. Getting down was pretty difficult too. Then we went home, I started laundry, watched Unicorn Warriors Eternal (one episode to go!) showered and wrote this.
I need to figure out a one-shot (maybe 2 shot) to play by Tuesday evening. Kind of on a time crunch. Yay. Oh and I'm running tomorrow morning before going on a two day camping trip (to Devil's Lake). So I need to prep for that. Then Wednesday is going to be really busy because I have to catch up on work, along with my other regular Wednesday activities and also donating blood. Wow it's a lot.
