Yesterday...

Yesterday: My wife called at work to tell me about the housefly that flew in her ear while she was sleeping. Yuck! It was buzzing in her head when she awoke, so she ran to the medicine cabinet and poured some peroxide down her ear. It killed the bug, but the fly still wouldn't dislodge. After repeated attempts, she called me at work and I begged her to call a doctor. The copay is a lot less hassle than getting an infection or having hearing problems, I said. Especially as we were supposed to record some vocal parts for the demo last night.
So she made an appointment for TODAY, and I get to find out very soon if the fly has been successfully extricated from its warm, waxy little tomb.
After a full day of work, I went home a bit spacey and tired. Watched a little CSPAN, took a nice, long shower and made some cinnamon toast and hot tea. At 7, my wife and I drove to Saffron for dinner; we both ate curried egg salad sandwiches and drank more hot tea, and then drove to band practice (Boards of Canada blaring on the car stereo).
Timbre'Wolf was not on time, but Jacob Ide showed up with his brother's guitar to play a few original tunes for Mo'Chroi. He's a talented guy with lots of energy and an eagerness to express himself. We sat around listening, commenting, and had a good time hearing his toilet-esque stand-up routine he'd been working on.
Alice brought out a bowl of mint-flavored Hershey's Kisses and I just couldn't stop eating them. Later, with a little producing from TimbreWolf, we managed to record the background vocals for "If You'd Been Trying to Hurt Me" AND "Mother's Lament," and I banged out a simple percussion track for Mother's Lament. All in all, a strange, busy, productive day. Nothing terribly memorable except for the housefly incident, but productive nevertheless.
I'm getting a bit anxious about the December 30 performance. I haven't had time to flyer very well, but I hope a few people show up anyhow. I'm putting a lot of effort into it, so hopefully an audience will manifest itself.

Edward,
I am glad your wife feels better. I am planning on being there and will try to bring some friends, far cooler than I. ;)
