These last few weeks have been long and far away from home. It’s nice to finally be back with the VCR blasting Indiana Jones while I organize the many, many, many loose ends left scattered around my tiny, moldy apartment.
It’s a mess of unfiled papers, unpaid bills, and unfinished freelance jobs. How can one be so busy having fun that important things get left behind? Oh right- I’m making a living doing what I love to do.
My band Townland has been in the recording studio the last few days (non-consecutively) laying down some sweet prairie poppin’ tracks of bouncy tunes. On the way back to my girlfriend’s house I almost started to cry because it has been such a shockingly frustrating, yet infinitely fulfilling experience. The struggle is always worth the end product.
Meanwhile, I’m waking up at 7AM every weekend to go work with some of the most talented individuals in the physical effects world, learning creative and practical tools that I’ve always been driven towards.
And when I’m not there, I’m on set with Andy & Scott for their SuperDeluxe show that we just wrapped this afternoon after two and half weeks of some of the funniest performances I’ve seen in a long time.
It’s going to rain through the night tonight in Long Beach, cleaning the streets, the air, and washing shit off the trees onto my car; tomorrow I’m going to wake up early and make my bed, clean my house, put on some clean clothes and keep building my toolkit for this shiny new year that I was hoping would polish up to a high gloss finish.
