Sowing Seeds of Possibility
A quick update to touch base with y’all.
IMPROVITAPING: is going surprisingly better than expected, and I’m only doing it at half the speed I’m supposed to (every other day instead of every day). The half-hour minimum time requirement was definitely a missing link. I’ll be making this an ongoing thing, and even posting clips from sessions here and there to appease your curiosities (and embarass the hell out of myself).
SONG SEEDS: are what I call the little tidbits of recorded ideas (guitar parts, vocal melodies, etc.) I’ve been collecting over the past several months which carry potentials to become full-grown awesome songs. I have 29 so far, not including the 7 improvitape sessions I’ve already done, each of which contains at least two new song seeds (and some are so close to being full-grown songs already, it freaks me out a little bit).
YOUTUBE: subscribers to my youtube channel have now passed the 800 mark. So weird! Speaking of weird…
TWIN PEAKS: rules! All of you should rent the series and be addicted with me. Actually, something that doesn’t rule… we’re almost through all the episodes. So if I seem all wigged out next week, it’s probably Cooper withdrawals.
DAY JOB: goes swimmingly. It’s 95% official now that I’m going to be the Catholic church’s web designer (for my city, not the Vatican). 80% of my work right now consists of looking at other cities’ Catholic websites, critiquing the hell out of them and taking notes. Awesome. Also awesome is they’re going to pay me to take a CSS course, and then pay me to teach my boss everything I’ve learned. It’s so great to be finally (knock on wood) in a non-ulcer-inducing job, that I like, working for non-assholes. Don’t laugh, this is a big deal for me.
FALL: has arrived! my favorite season of all. The air smells of my favorite childhood memories, and I get to wear cozy sweaters and ponchos again, yay! Speaking of transitional periods…
CHANGES: will be happening around here over the next while, website-wise and who-knows-what-else-wise. How drastic, I don’t know, but I’m re-thinking everything, particularly giving more serious creative thought to the conceptual, theatrical, promotional and collaborative possibilities of my growing Artistic/Musical Empire! haha… right. But seriously, I’m getting a bunch of good ideas, and I even have professional help! In related news…
GATHERTOGETHERIN: Look it up. Check it out. It will come up in conversation. I may even quiz you. In more related news…
SEATTLE: is where I’m headed tomorrow to visit some friends, old and new. Back Sunday!

I don’t know about the other 99.875%, but this 0.125% of your YouTube subscribership is mighty proud of your progress!

Don’t worry, I’ll nonchalantly remind you what my name is when you sign my copy of your CD, so there won’t be an “awkward moment”. ;)
oh keith, as the great balkey used to say,
don’t be ridiculous.
