FAWM - Day 17.

Oh my god.

I am drained at the end of another workweek. My co-workers were FLIPPING OUT today over missed deadlines, botched instructions, etc., and I was right as rain when I walked in, but absorbed all their poisonous energy to the point where I sat in my chair clicking a mouse for four hours straight and now am a slave to run on sentences...

Work *sucked* today.

But, now I'm free. I spent a few hours hanging out in the FAWM chatroom, listening to Charlie's show. Is it sad that I feel good doing all that virtual hanging?

Class tomorrow. I haven't done the 500 word writing yet, but I've done all the reading. I need to make some music. Three songs tomorrow? I can try for that. There are a couple of potential collabs on the horizon, I'm sure I can do them up quickly, if I put my mind to it.

I'm just always feeling like I'm needing sleep.

I'm going to mix my 50-track-neil-gaiman inspired song tomorrow. And do two more. Which ones?

Please, julia, make them simple. Don't get all crazy with the trackage, just do the do. You still have nine songs to do....

(that was me talking to myself. Imploring, begging myself.)

What else?

Nothing?

Okay. G'night.

FAWM - Day 10.

Oops! Missed Day 9. See what happens when I take my eyes off the ball?

I was successful at uploading my version of Dan's track. I like the verses, but don't think my chorus is cool enough for Dan's amazing track. It's gotten some positive response, so I guess that's good, and I got to triple track vocals and make big, big harmonies. That was fun.

So, I still have a stack of reading to do for class tomorrow, including a 500 word piece. Yay! Hooray for allnighters, which I will be pulling tonight! Woopee! I'm in high school again!

I have been loving my FAWM. I love all the FAWMers, they're a terrific, talented bunch of people. I was in the chat last night, almost high with the love I was feeling for those people. And I hadn't even had any alcohol. Seriously. I am getting so much pleasure just trolling the boards, reading the forums and listening and commenting on people's songs.

So, here's another crazy push I could make:
I've all but committed to doing a "Feast" on Wednesday through Friday. A "Feast" is a large number of songs written and recording in a short number of time. Tim Wille threw down the gauntlet, to do 14 songs in 72 hours. Which is nuts. But I'm making my lists. I might just try it.

For now, I have to go to work. Ergh.

Not so "gung ho" on work as I am on FAWM, that's for sure.
