*Jams*

Interesting times are afoot.

The band has new jams that are becoming songs, I've got new guitars that are awesome. My job is giving me less hours which is a) sucky and b) kinda nice (but only 'cause I'm a lazy bastard). I'm really no closer to figuring out what I'm doing long term, but that's ok. I can deal.

I just finished Assassin's Creed II. Finally. It was a really fun adventure. Got a little repetitive by the end, but the story was so good that I didn't mind. The story of Ezio Auditore De Firenze was exciting and well told and the continuing story of Desmond Miles continues to escalate in scope and stakes. The conspiracy thing and the "origin story" thing are both pretty cool plot elements. The final scene as Desmond is one of my favorite parts of a video game in a while.

The band has a new song that came from some lyrics by Kendra called Smoke & Mirrors and music by me called S&M (which I think actually does stand for Smoke & Mirrors, not sadomasochism). We started playing it yesterday and after working through it once or twice, Jim started playing this tom based beat during the verses and I changed up the playing pattern and we had this awesome, explosive song.

Kendra and I also took some time and reworked Latin to better include her in the song. We've got a duet thing going on right now that I think sounds pretty sweet. We thought briefly about changing The End, but we both agreed that it's fine the way it is. Which is good, 'cause I really didn't want to change it.

I had my "New Hire" Orientation for Home Depot the other day. I've been working a month already, so none of it was particularly new, but it was a decent way to make four hours of pay.

Today I visit my folks in Seb and possibly see to getting my Bass head checked out.
