Morning campers!
It's Friday, it's sunny, I'm alive!
Got a shit day coming up in work, but I'm finishing early and getting on a train to see my dude, so I'm mostly happy.

What happy thoughts will keep you wading through the shit with a smile today?

I am having dinner with friends,
followed by a possible drunken fuck with one of my fishing buddies. It's 3 weeks since the breakup, but this guy and I got together before the ex and I got serious

you're a student you can get away with anything
when I was at uni we used to sit around, get really stoned and mess about with play-doh (generally the 30 second sculpture challenge), play hangman on the magic sketcher and all manner of other exciting childish things.

The threat of the Captain would keep anyone in line.
I used to get smacked, but only when I'd done something really naughty. My sister and I had a lot of discipline when we were younger, some stuff I spose people would get outraged at now (the smacking) but we've grown up perfectly fine, normal, well behaved people.

I'm taking baby swimming on sunday
we took him last week, and it was great fun - he kept clapping when other kids dive bombed into the pool though, so we're dreading him being able to do that - think he's going to be one of the more 'spirited' children (i.e. a little turd) unless we beat some manners into him.
but I'm mainly happy because I get a lie in of 2 hours on sunday - until 8 am, mr vitC will take baby at 6 and let me sleep. bliss.

Mixing Session Tomorrow
Having recorded everything at the end of April, the band is finally reconvening to mix all the tracks and make them sound nice. I'm so glad we're finally getting round to it - "leave it a couple of weeks and come back to it fresh," we said...and then over a month later...

Though conversely I am a little concerned after one of my housemates went to the hopsickle with chest pains last night. His girlfriend said they were keeping him in overnight and is presumably going back to check on him this morning - I'm assuming that no news is either good news or she hasn't got up yet.
(LongJohnBaldry, Fri 4 Jun 2010, 10:06, Reply)

Well done on the breathing space before mixing.
I know so many people who don't bother leaving time between, or take a rough copy of their tracks home before mixing and it inevitably ruins the completed record every* time.

*Even though I did it and my latest recordings are my best yet.
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 4 Jun 2010, 10:43, Reply)

The studio engineer did a rough mix for us to take home
I gave it one listen and everything sounded awful; didn't sound like us at all. I also did a preliminary mix of one of the songs for my folks to listen to, but apart from that we've not touched them since the recording.

Hopefully this will bode well. Having said that, I already know there's at least one or two vocals I want to re-record tomorrow.
