Did I mention that I had fun at the winter formals this weekend? Well there, I just did. Did I mention there was one particular person who made it very enjoyable for both myself and Zoë? Well then… hopefully we can return the favor sometime soon. 
Whooo… tracking and recording went awesome this weekend for JETOMI. We got 5 songs 98% tracked, aside from some various overdubs. We were looking at putting out a 7″ and put a song on a comp, but we might lengthen the release to a dual 7″ gatefold. Well, that’s what I’m pushing for. Yesss… GAbe’s vocals sound hot. Some of my ‘leads’ could use alot of work, but hey, it’s rock’n'rolle maaaan.
On the car front, I’m still looking for a vehicle. They’re impossible to find. Someone just gimmie a hand! I want the leather package!!! What a yuppie I’m turning into here.
So, the quest for the elusive Passat GLS TDI Wagon goes on… and on… and on… It seems that car dealerships know this vehicle is rare, and roll off the lot like hotcakes. This means I’m not going to get a good price at all. They can be all… dude, take it at sticker, sucker, cause there’s going to be a couple other people here tomorrow to do just the same. I’m not no sucker though. I have one dude talked to a grand below sticker, but there’s all those fees and shit. Plus it’s in Tucson and doesn’t come in for another half month-plus. The vehicle is so badass though. 44mpg on the highway and a wagon for cryin out loud. Woah. I love the diesel in the VW’s since it’s the same engine in the diesel Audi’s that aren’t available in the states yet. It’s made in gernamy and they have to ship that shit here. Yuppie-dom, here I come!
Black Debbie is one more step towards competency in the audio realm, as I have finally recieved my midi controller keyboard. Sweet ass. I am so into making it like NIN meets Dee Lite. Woah. We will have producers, guest artists, lighting / hair / enviroment techs, and shamans.
Coming into work before everyone else is awesome because I get to rock the tunes of my choice on the stereo. Zoë has a mix on the iPod which is ruling it all. Oh yeah, Zoë… she’s going to kick my ass because I haven’t been hanging with her lately. Freakin band practice. Which brings me to new Double Muff pedal I just scored. It’s crazy. I have like a total of 4 Electro Harmonix big muffs on the pedal board right now. Heh Heh Heh. Noise bands don’t got shit on me.
Crap. Well the lame blogger service just lost my last post, which was pretty awesome by the way. Here goes again…
I haven’t posted in a while now. The winter break had been awesome to say the least. I had an incredible week and a half of holiday vacation paid time off from CCC where I could actually enjoy taking Stella on more walks, sitting down, and reading things. I took my time going places and enjoyed conversations with people.
Zoë got back from France just in time for New Years. We headed to Phoenix to hang out to party and see some bands, but she was jet lagged and wasn’t feeling well. I would have stayed in Flagstaff and enjoyed the new year’s with her there, but oh well. It was awesome to see Josh though… man seriously. He was awesome and donated some tools for the 111. Super sweet of him. I also got to witness the spectacle of IKEA on new year’s day. Woah. It’s like Super Wall Mart on European steroids with about 1 million people inside at once. We also tried to shop for a VW Passat TDI Wagon, but to no avail. They’re freakin hard to find, plus the salesman was being somewhat of a snob. I mean, I’m in the market for a 35k car with my “WIFE” for crying out loud. Throw me a bone at least.
Anyways. It totally snowed the other day and I had a day off from work. I walked Zoë to work with Stella and then we went to the Casebeers and made a spectacular dinner! It was sooo good. For reals. I totally got to hang with Case and Betsy whom were visiting for the holidays, which totally ruled. I wish I could have hung out more, though. Today I’m back at work. Rode the bike on icy-snowy roads. I didn’t get hit by a crazy car driver and I hope that trend continues. They didn’t even plow the bike path or bike racks yet, so I’m keeping my bike in the office. Whee, warm bike on the ride home!
