I’m liking our new habits. Thursdays are becoming my favourite days, filled with my favourite people, my favourite performers and my favourite coffee. Last night was our first topical songwriting night and by this time next month I’ve got to have a tune about “sandstorm Love affairs”. Sounds like a song about something abrasive that gets everywhichwhere. That could be any old Love affair, really.

Ash gave me a chance to play bass a bit with a couple of his tunes and honestly, gave me a chance to really realize how out of practice I am with my five-string. I’m pretty comfortable with Sharif’s 4, but I don’t really know if I want to go back to that no it in matter how much easier it is. I Love having the low B, but it sort of sounds like crap sans a subwoofer…. I’m not buying a new amplifier or anything… maybe I SHOULD just trade it in – but… there’s something SO good about the way a Spectre feels against one’s naked belly.
Not that I play naked ever. No… really.
Speaking of naked, this morning I ran into my usual scheduling problems with Heather’s dad. Nothing as traumatic as you’re probably thinking at this moment – more regarding water temperature and everything.
David gets up a lot earlier than average and I get up a lot later than average and generally this averages out in such a way that he’s washing dishes or doing some laundry about 60 seconds into my morning shower. The invariable consistency of this makes me a little bit suspicious, but really it doesn’t bother me TOO much. Especially not in the winter, since I like having a vicious, skin-reddening, rob-lobstering boiling-hot shower. But during the summer… I’ll often have myself a cold shower, a little tepid perhaps… and the sudden appearance of a scalding, steamy abuse made me grip the washcloth rack with both hands and scream “YES SIR MAY I PLEASE HAVE ANOTHER!!!”
Showers rock me.
Hee – the Java Mammas regulars make a “feature wish list”. If you’re on it, you ought to be bloody well flattered!
