So...I'm bored...well, not bored...but for the first time in about 2 years, I don't feel like I have some pending thing that I must deal with immediately. It's nice. I cleaned a little. Organized some things. I put away some wedding stuff, put away some hawaii stuff, even put away some lawyer stuff. Saturday I sat down and watched the video of Dad and I jamming. It was great. I miss him. It's weird to hear his voice. And to see him drum. I was so excited and so nervous that I was sloppy--and unfortunately, we didn't get to record us when we got in the groove because there was no way for me to hit record without dropping off playing--and when you find that groove you can't just stop. Luckily, my brother came home towards the end of it and was able to catch a minute of us playing House of The Rising Sun....it was amazing...funny, all my pictures, and it's those 3 and a half minutes of us playing that I think i cherish the most! I was able to transcribe some of what we jammed to. I also decided it was time to start learning sign language. I know the basics, having grown up with parents that taught and with a father who was legally deaf (which is amazing when you watch the videos of him drumming!!!). Anywho...so...in the three days where I haven't had any urgent thing to do, i was able to get my room in order, walk down memory lane, transcribe a jam, write a song (finally), start learning sign again...oh, and also started to teach myself piano. Did I mention that I'm also in the final stages of my guitar project (it'll be completed by the coming weekend)? Man, I love it when I have nothing to do.
