Neglect!

I've been greatly neglecting my blogs over the past month.  What the heck, right?!  Honestly, I've just been so very busy (and exhausted from being busy) that I've totally forgotten about writing here.  Yeah, I know, it's hard to believe but actually true.

Mixing is still going well but I'm greatly behind in multiple ways.  I turned a couple new corners over the past month and this has led me down a few rabbit holes.  Having said that, I'm still on track with what I'm working on, although it's looking more and more likely that there's no way in hell that I'll get Defrost Nixon as far as I wanted to by the end of the month.  Hmph.

There's also a big guitar auction this week and there are multiple pieces that I'm interested in.  You wouldn't initially think it but an auction requires a sh*t load of prep work, just so you have all your ducks in a row, etc.  Even though these things happen online, there's still that auction "anxiety" that can take you over in the moment, and you really don't want that when dealing with high priced items.  I'd also recommend keeping your cats away from your keyboard.  I've never personally had a cat win an item during an auction but it's been too close for comfort.

Other than that, I've got nothing too major right now to report.  I am planning on seeing Al Di Meola tomorrow night at the Magnolia and I'm sure it'll make me cry...not because his playing is so emotional but because it'll make me feel like I have no idea how to play the guitar whatsoever.  That's the downside to watching somebody like Al play; it's soul crushing.

Hopefully, I'll have more to report soon.  I just wanted to break the ice since it had been awhile.
