Let’s see… Sorry if this post is a boring one, all work and no play. But you can skip it if you want.<\/p>\n
Michelle’s room is basically done. Very nice pale yellow. It’s been really humid all weekend so we’re giving the paint a while to dry before we put everything back.<\/p>\n
Made progress on my new origami page. Will have something to show soon.<\/p>\n
Made progress on my Moose diagrams. Almost there.<\/p>\n
Made progress on my new song, Who Can Fool Me. Rewrote the lyric last week and re-tracked the vocals last night. I had some weird noise in my system that made it impossible to record cleanly. Rebooted my system and it went away. I filled out the arrangement some. I added some mellotron-style synth strings. Still to tweak the arrangement a bit, but it’s getting there. I experimented with a double-time arpeggio voice in the second half of the song to keep the energy level rising throughout. Has potential, but isn’t there yet. Also still have to add some horns and the solo synth, which will sound something like a wah-wah guitar or gutbucket trumpet.<\/p>\n
Did not get a chance to finish the Rollercoaster of Cheese Flash animation with the girls.<\/p>\n
