Moving to Texas was a rough adjustment for me. Completely worth it, all things considered, but not easily done. When I’m having a miserable day due to the insanely hot and muggy weather I’ll often ask whoever it is calling me a whiner “How many vikings do you find in the jungle?” That said, the three digit temperatures seem to have retreated and we’re supposedly headed into the tolerable part of the year when the wind blows cool and breathing outside doesn’t hurt. I know that not all of Texas is like this, but the coastal plains are pretty miserable starting in May and running through, well, close to now. With the humidity and heat index dropping, my work ethic is growing. I’m coming out of hibernation.
And it’s just in time! September 23rd, as some part or other of the mighty Internet has told me, marks the point where there are 100 days left in 2009. Since my little 10 Days Project to kill my personal creative block, I have become a huge fan of random deadlines made up of round numbers. With that in mind, I am planning to complete the following projects:
- Release my current collection of songs in an album-like format. FOR FREE!
- Complete the piece of electronic/computer/tape music that has been buzzing around in my brain and notebooks.
- Optional: finish building my acoustic guitar (I’m so very close now). [This is optional due to weird things like humidity and potential tool acquisition.]
The part of me that thinks this is too modest a list hasn’t really listened to the so called drum mixes on the tracks I’m preparing. He needs to get in line with the “24 hours in a day” principle.
