Sunday or Monday?

I just got confused about what day it was. This Monday off thing is great, but it’s totally messing with my head.

This was a busy, busy weekend. Saturday morning I left to go to Tom Lee and get a new microphone for recording the drum cymbals on Sunday. Even though it was one of the cheapest condenser mics you can get,  it came in a plastic case that’s big enough to carry a power drill. I met up with an old friend from high school at the dragonboat races and he thought I had a drill with me. Cuz, you know, one should always carry a drill!

Dragonboats are kinda cool. I got to hang out with Brian and his wife, who was racing that day. They taught me all about dragonboating. Looks like a fun sport although I have zero time to get involved in anything new this summer.

After that I went straight over to Shannon & Vanja’s to help celebrate Vanja’s 30th birthday. Tonnes of people I haven’t seen in quite a while. It was my last chance to chat with Matt, who’s moving to Montreal this week.

Sunday morning I got up bright and early to go over to Reilly’s where the band did our inagural recording session. It was a day of fooling around with microphones, doing take after take of our songs, and cursing at Cubase (our recording software). Think we got some good stuff although I haven’t revisted it yet. We’ll have to mix it down soon and get it online somewhere for the world to hear.

That evening I went out with some friends to check out that film Hangover. My expectations were low but the film was surprisingly good. It was like a blend of 40 Year Old Virgin and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. If you want a strange film filled with buffoonery then this is the film for you!
