Planning

I am a person, who lack in discipline. Sad to say, because this makes it very easy for me to procrastinate. For some reason, especially when it comes to my own music. 

I find myself always trying to be in a perfect mood, a perfect setting. Yesterday was one of those days, I started recording and then... well, nothing sounded as good as I wanted. And I stopped. (ok, so I was seriously tired from sitting infront of a slow computer all day with photoshop and indesign but still...). I think I haven't really gotten used to the whole "plugged in"-thing. Being to near the mike, hearing myself so clearly while recording, in a way I think it makes me hold back a little. Not really pushing myself, not really singing from the gut. And then, things become meek. 

But I am planning. Because Warren says (warren is my muse) that having goals is key, making a plan is key, and acting on that plan everyday is the key. They Key to Success.
So, this weekend, I am shying away from social functions (except a dinner and a coffee cup or two) - to play. Playing, writing, singing. Getting things done. And fixing that bloody flash - I'm up to here with whining about it. 

Maybe I should hide my tv from myself. It has a really bad influence on me.

Things are looking up

Not for the flashplayer. But that could be that I have, as said before, no patience and therefore have barely tried.

But on another note, the man and I (hrm, well sort of, if bugging him with questions count) did a number on my "recording studio". Studio is far from the truth, since the environment is far away from ideal. I am recording next to a window for goodness sake. But still, there's a piano, there's the technical equipment and a mike. 

I used to have a tendency to sound.. hollow in a way. Especially the piano, it's an electrical one. But now... now good people, times have changed. Ok, it's not perfect, but still. I have to post some material as soon as the player comes to life, it really is such a quality difference.
