Jesus Christ, someone please hit fast forward on my life and make it December 20th. My brain can't handle much more of this and my body isnt' doing so well, either. Ten hours of sleep since Monday morning. So, naturally, a bunch of fun stuff has to all be this week and next. Like The Rapture playing Friday. And Sarah's birthday party at Dan's house on Saturday. And Emma's second birthday Sunday. In North Jersey.
Someone buy me a duplicator. I really need the ability to be in more than one place at once right now. Hell, I could really use that any time of the year.
We are. the. greatest. band. EVER.
i kid you not. first day of practise.. two songs in the whole. sure, they've got some kinks to be worked out.. but anyone who's ever been in a band knows that this way above expectation for a first practise.
you can't wait to see us on stage. i swear to christ.
Awesome. 5:30am. Still not in bed. What the hell is wrong with me?
Been playing guitar for about... uh... 3 hours. yeah, about that. Mike came over last night and gave me some bipolar bear shit to go over (which I couldn't possibly be more excited about). Taught me a few new finger exersices while I was at it.. he said I'd notice a lot of improvement and he wasn't kidding. So I decided to tackle Hail to the Thief and learn all the songs. Well, the ones with guitar that I hadn't learned yet.
Then I started on Jeff Buckley. Been working on that ever since. My god is that guy talented... I knew he was one of the greatest singers ever to have lived (imho) but I never realized how good a guitarist he was. It's never anything flashy... just very creative and very difficult. I stopped, though, cause I can't find my capo and trying to play "hallelujah" without one is raising my blood pressure to dangerous levels.
Yeah, I probably should have been studying or working on my Object Oriented Design program or taking care of one of the many tasks on my "subStudio6 stuff to do" list... but I played guitar instead.
So it goes.
Sleep hates me.
Or maybe it's my brain that hates sleep.
Regardless, things aren't quite well when it comes to sleep and me. I spent another night coding instead of sleeping of my own volition. I feel fine. It's really odd. I can stay up this long and feel only the slightest bit tired, and yet, if I had gone to bed 8 or 9 hours ago, I'd feel exhausted right now. Of course, the season isn't helping things much at all. And don't anyone give me that "get up / go to bed ealier" crap. You try being 22 and getting up / going to bed at 6am and 10pm respectively. And have a social life. Hell, it's 9:31 right now and you know who's awake? NOBODY. They all went to bed a few hours ago and those that didn't are at work struggling to stay awake.
Bloody hell.
Well, at any rate, check out the results of this night's work:
the scrabbled
I'd spent most of thanksgiving weekend working on the subStudio6 page (and getting nowhere) that I figured I needed to clear my mind. Figures this design is awesome. The one that doesn't matter. Goddam it. Well, at least I know what to do when I get stumped now: send a PSD to Bill. That's what I did with this scrabbled page. I got to a point where I didn't like it and didn't know how to improve it so I sent it over to bill and he finished the fucker off. Perfected it. God I love that guy.
Anyhow, yeah, I'm pretty proud of that page. The CSS all validates and there's not a single table in sight. Hot shit. The HTML doens't validate, but I've never been able to get the scrabbled to validate. Too many users using software that pumps out very unpredictable code.
Eh... time to get ready for school, I suppose...
