stuff
I started mixing on these new monitors tonight and had to stop. I’m having a bit of a hard time with them. They add depth and punch that I’m completely unfamiliar with. The Paradigm Titans were pretty straightforward speakers, and there was also the advantage that they’ve been my main general-use speakers for the past ten years. So when a kick drum was punchy on the Titans, it was punchy everywhere.
On the Mackies, it’s not necessarily the case because everything’s punchy, so I just need to figure out what the right level of punchiness is for things to actually be punchy on regular speakers.
I guess I just need to listen to more albums through them for awhile to get used to them before starting any more work. I’m kind of tired right now, too, so nothing really sounds good at all.
Went to Taylor’s for dinner. Was originally going to go to the Black Angus in Burbank but after it started raining it would’ve been hell to drive there. Never been to Black Angus - if anyone knows if it’s any good, please let me know. Anyway, I think being stuffed with prime rib is partially causing the problem of nothing sounding good. Seriously.
It’s the annual “self-review” time at my workplace. I’m expected to fill out a five-page survey, evaluate myself on like 15 different things, and comment on each one. Then I’m supposed to write up what I’ve learned over the past year, what I’ve accomplished over the past year, and what I hope to accomplish next year.
This is going to take me few hours to complete. I’m tempted to just write “Doing good, just need raise” on it and handing it in.

Why does everybody always think its hell to drive to “The Bank?” I am sorry but you LA’ers don’t know what real rain is. A little lighting and you start diverting planes from LAX. JUNG-Black Angus and its overpriced meat is only worth it when you have the 2 entrees for $30 coupon. Then its totally worth it cuz not only do you get a HUGE appetizer plate but you get all this other stuff before the the actual plate of beef comes out. AND you get dessert ymmm. Next time you are hungry for the beef stuff call upon 520 and we shall meet yah at the Angus.
Yes, Burbank is nice
Burbank is close
Everything is in Burbank - except cool people.
Burbank is not far, it only takes hours to get there.
The Valley is for out-of-work actors, students, and people who havn’t “made-it yet. If you are not in that catagory, move to the real LA. The one on the inside of the basin.
When I “make it” and I will, I won’t be remembering you cult follower.
It’s only hell to drive to Burbank when it’s raining and everyone gets all freaked out, or if it’s rush hour. Otherwise I go there a lot to do shopping.
You think you know what rain is? You don’t know what rain is. Try taking a curve in Memphis when a wall of water falls onto your windshield blinding you for at least five second. You have to drive by memory. That’s rain. It’s enough to make your passenger jealous.
Rain is driving on the interstate at 5 mph because you can’t see out your window. Rain is the fog that has taken over every inch of window. Rain is when you windshield wipers can’t move fast enough. Rain is your wheels sliding at everystop. Rain is trying to find an umbrella that isn’t in your trunk. Rain is wishing you had brought a jacket with you because getting out means complete saturization. No Los Angeles, you don’t know what rain is.
You’re right, we don’t know what rain is. And that’s why you all keep leaving your homes and moving to LA. Well stay home and shut up. We don’t know rain, we don’t want to know rain. We know sunshine and smog and hot people on the beach in bikins in Dec. You like the rain, fine, but stay over there and don’t come over here.
I second that!!!!!
Fine. I’ll pack my stuff and leave as long as you’ll stop complaining when it does rain. With your news specials and special reports you’d think there was a hurricane acomin.’
I blame Jung for everything
today was sun-shiny
my balls hang low
