ich bin ein auslander

spent nearly the entire day post thanksgiving in bed recovering, watching bravo’s west wing marathon… finally made it out for indian food and a quick beer with simon.

sunday, more rest and gradually easing back into the workout schedule. ended up hanging out at the studio until 3am. today, more of the same and heading back to the studio tonight.

it’s 4:30am. just got home. can’t focus on the screen. therefore, good night. random impressions. too much turkey. good yams. where’s pink dot with the emergency vodka? why are there large english breasts on my arms? and why is wendy smacking the crap out of the host?

one down, one to go. just got back from the family thing, and now we’re off to a friend thing. i’ve already ate a good turkey and a half; i’m stuffed and smiling. now to go roll myself back to the car…

in fact, it was rather difficult getting out of bed at 10am. i’m still groggy. had dinner at el torito in beverly hills with john d last night, fantastic food (mmm… tortillas with honey butter) and then headed into deeper hollywood and to the studio to drop off a final pass on a song. showed up and everyone was in a bad mood and technology was failing (pro tools crashing, etc) so it didn’t look good… but sat around for a bit, opened up a glass of wine or three, and eventually everything was up and running, my stuff got a listen, some good comments, some suggestions of different directions to take… so not bad, all in all.

so today i’m looking through various sound libraries to add to my collection which are more on the mark for what they’re looking for…

and trying to get money out of clients.

are generally askew. Wendy has been having trouble sleeping lately - this I only know from the fact that she tells me she tosses and turns all night, and then I notice she does blog entries or I have email when I get up from her that she’s sent at 4 in the morning or whatever. I sleep through all of it.

But then I’ve been trying to get up earlier, so when I’m trying to wake up and get exercise done and out of the way, she’s finally falling asleep. So now I’m perfecting my new form of stealth aerobics.
