The Over 30 Club is Full of Cool People

It was a decent day off, although I've been working on recording the vocals for a new-ish song and every day I think I've got them right, and then throughout the day I keep listening to it, and by the end of the day I realize that I don't like them. So it feels like a bit of a wasted day, and it's this type of frustration that makes me want to quit the whole damn thing, which apparently doesn't seem to be happening.

I ran good errands today, including top-secret runs for Jeannie's birthday/valentine's goodies. Mweee Ha Ha Ha.

Some good things I found this evening:

1. A liquor store near our place that sells Murphy's Irish Stout. Mmmmmm. Even better than Guinness. But unfortunately just as expensive.

2. Edy's ice cream on sale for one dollar and ninety-nine cents. Hot damn! That's a savings of $4.00 per container!

Tomorrow I'm planning on getting a lot of laundry done, folded and put away. I guess I'll also be wrestling with these vocals some more, depending on how much of the day our neighbors upstairs are around. I try not to do anything while they're home, because I have a feeling it would drive them nuts. Plus, sometimes I have to yell a little bit.

Confidential to Jennifer Schlueter:

There's lots of cool kids in the over 30 club. Let's take a look at a few:

1. The Edge. Age-- 45.
2. Jesus Christ. Age-- 2006. Or 1973. When one rises from the dead,
do they start back over at 0? We'll have to open this one up for
conversation...
3. Tom Waits. Age-- 56.
4. Rich R. Age-- unknown, but definitely over 30.
5. John B. Schmor. Age-- like 95 or something.
6. James Vertovec. Ditto.

Well, I guess that's about it. It's nice to know that there are some people who are still really cool even though they're really old.
