ich bin ein auslander

apparently i’m making up for my lackluster blogging so far this year by making three entries in one day.

just wanted to note - i caught myself out of the corner of my eye in the mirror a few minutes ago. i’m definately not fat anymore. w00t!

I could kick myself for not doing this sooner… but I finally applied for my “all airlines” double miles credit card… the “ultra miles” card offered by capital one. Most of the folks I know with far more money than I have this card and swear by it… so, applied, and when i get it, I’m transferring my balance from my measly shite rewards card to it to start racking up the miles and cancelling that beeyatch.

Of course, there are two caveats to this being a smart financial move - one, you need to travel every now and then so you can cash in the miles, and two, you have to be able to restrain yourself and just use the card like it’s an atm card or whatever. meaning, just because you have a 25,000 limit, you won’t go spend 25,000. or more. which i’m working on.

the second of my three college roommates is getting married in two weeks… unfortunately, he moved back to phoenix after college and that’s where it’ll be. I’m starting to feel guilty as I originally planned not to go but now I’m considering it. Guess I’ll see how much a flight would be.

In other news, I’ve completely finished the last batch of mixes for Rob… I’m going to have credits on one major label album and two indie albums this year, so far. Probably one more indie, and of course Rob and I are going to finish up and release our own album this year as well. At the moment, I’m getting an 8 track sampler together that I’m going to send out to various people I know that do music placement for films, commercials, etc, and see if we get any bites…

so there you go.

off to a friend’s birthday party tonight. should be fun although major client will be there so it’ll be a bit of a networking fest. speaking of clients, wendy’s got her first official photo shoot tomorrow with another, and we’re on the phone with yet another trying to convince him to re-record an old song of his.

lions and tigers and bears, oh my.

no, this probably doesn’t make any sense. that’s part of the fun.

typed an entry and didn’t save it. sucks big time. too lazy to retype it all - bottom line, finishing up the last mix for the roberino, gotta deliver it tomorrow… another album done. this is getting fun, but it would be nice to get paid.

speaking of that, an unexpected but most welcome small job fell into our laps today, so we’re getting started on that… looks like it’s going to be a rough year so we’re taking whatever we get at this point.

toodles.
