josh is stupid and boring and self-centered and stupid and has crabs

i waste away to a yellow pallor in the studio. awesome.


today is my first day at SoundTrack. in fact, i'm sitting next to John Kiehl right now; he's pretty much one of the coolest people ever. he's playing around with a piece of software called Mathematica.

(from wikipedia)

"The Mathematica programming language is based on term-rewriting and supports both functional and procedural programming (though functional code is much more efficient in general). It is implemented in an object-oriented variant of C, but the bulk of the extensive code library is actually written in the Mathematica language that can be used to extend the system. Typically, new code is added in the form of Mathematica "packages", i.e., text files written in the Mathematica language."

the funny thing about it is that John isn't any more of a computer programmer than he is a record producer. it's all really just a mind-puzzle to him. obviously there'll be a ton of stuff to learn around here this semester.


but anyway, yeah. back in new york, so that's nice. i'm pretty much done with Serious Bob premixing. i need to get the tracks for tom's record together, but i've got a couple of weeks on that so right now i'm just sessioning with John and Mario.

it's high 60s in manhattan today. in january. in sane. this time next year it'll be 80 in the shade, but for now i kinda love global warming.

went out with R and a bunch of her friends last night. we saw a pretty decent indie-pop band in the e.vil. a completely wasted T.H. met me up and we got to catch up afterwords at swift over piles of hotdogs and beer. good times.

sex, drugs, and rock & roll. what else?

I have things to blog about!! i guess my life must be valid... Jk, I'm finally almost better from last week though. Sweet.

T busted up to mass this weekend to do vocals at Steve's. We worked all afternoon saturday and it went really well despite my sedentary illness. And today I got in to catch up on all the Serious Bob i haven't been doing; i'm through with about 2/3 of premixing, but the rest is fun/creative and not especially editory. So that should be under control in time for me to get back to cityville-ization on thurs. ;o;o;o;o;o that's a face i make when something is secretly awesome like country music or the jersey shore, although the awesome here is hardly a secret.

2007!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! oh man. i like how this one started; it was cathartic with all the sex (for someone, right?), violence, and celebration. also, jason and i are bringing back the semicolon. generic new years resolutions: i'll be cutting down on the partying to focus on work and exercising more; i 'm all doughy from the holidays and being sick for a week. but 2007 will be different!!! new and exciting!!!! fresh and juicy!!!! rockachuckledocious!!!! an odd number!!!!

webscopes is dead right now, but it's a nice time to be a libra (and hey, when isn't?). i'm to maintain my humility, but focus on abolishing the passive aspects of my demeanor. absolutely. maybe death metal would help... w/evs, good project for ø7.

wishing you all the best in the new year,
y
