right on bro!

I’ve been back from vacation for a couple of days now. My trip home was relaxing. The fishing was real good this year, especially the striped bass. Not very many keepers, but a lot of action, which is cool because you’re only allowed to keep one per person anyway. Other than fishing, it was sleeping, and working on a project I haven’t had a chance to work on yet. I really like Long Island - it’s quiet, rural, less traffic, and slower. Plus my parents have central air at their house.

The verdict on Southwest Airlines - I doubt I’d fly it again unless it were cheap and virtually the only option. However, Burbank Airport rocks - much less chaos than LAX. And I think next time I go to Vegas, I’m flying. Both trips stopped through there, and I learned that it’s a very short flight, and totally worth it.

So, now I’m back. The two documentaries I worked on screened tonight at a film festival on the East Coast. I was thinking about it all day, and pretty nervous that maybe there was like a giant screech on the soundtrack that I didn’t catch. Later tonight, I heard from the editor that the producer said that things went well, so I guess it’s good news.

Things at work are not as bad as I thought as they’d be when I returned, but worse in other ways. I’m prepping my resume this week and am going to start calling up old contacts soon. Wouldn’t hurt to see what’s out there.

Listening to:

• “Out of Hand” (extended mix), The Mighty Lemon Drops
• “Not Too Soon,” Throwing Muses
• “Grind,” the Gefkens
• “Sense,” Pete Yorn

Yup, it’s been a real pseudo-alternative rock mood this week. Viva throwaway pop songwriting and big-studio production.
