• EDIT: Mark my words, there is no bottom three tomorrow. There will be two groups, one of three, and one of two. The group of three will be safe...leaving two left. Eh, they could do something funky...here's my bottom 3 (of 5...geez this is hard).

  3rd lowest: Elliott
  2nd lowest: Taylor
  1st lowest: Paris (also going home)

  I guess we'll see...

  Well, I just concluded my final work on the Citrus project I was doing. The shows are this weekend, so I think we'll head over to see it on Friday night, if possible.  The most rewarding part of any job I do is hearing the final product (when the music comes to life).  I did probably 8 or 10 transcriptions/rhythm charts, plus a couple of vocal parts for SATB choir, and orchestration on two of the songs. It will be fun to hear it all come together.

  Poor Mike is still here. I feel bad for him that he has to plunk down $500 for his crappy car (heh heh...). I guess it could be worse, but still, we almost had him convinced to buy a new car (he's had the same car since the early 90's...) instead of fixing this one, but I don't think that'll happen anytime soon now. He probably won't buy an iPod now either...

  24 was great last night. 

  Classes are good...I have homework every week to do for my recording techniques class--which is fine--but that makes for an extra trip down to school during my specified lab time on Saturdays. This weekend I have to mix down 24 tracks of stuff and add effects/compressor and make final mix to a CD. Not super hard, but I often get frustrated when trying to do a final mix...it takes a good amount of experience to know how something will sound in the studio AND how to mix it so it also sounds good on your home stereo. 'Cause you can do a fantastic mix in the studio on those awesome monitoring speakers, burn a CD, then stick it in your car stereo or computer and it sounds like crap all of a sudden. It's tricky, but it is a great challenge, which--hello--is why I'm here...

  A HUGE  thank you to my parents! They took a trip down here to give us their old 1993 Ford Aerostar, so we could have two vehicles. Christy is so excited!! Now she's not stuck at home while I'm at work and school...on the days I go to school I can be gone 12-14 hours at a time. She is so happy to have a way to bop on out to the grocery store, or head over to the park or whatever she wants to do, even when I'm gone. Thank you Mom and Dad!! We had a great time hanging out with you this weekend! It was party time, non-stop...

  We love our church. One may not be super-dooper impressed by attending any one single service. (Not that they aren't impressive, 'cause they are all really cool). But we have found that when you dig deeper into the depths of this place, you find even more rich soil than is on the surface, (or maybe, immediately under the surface...).  We know churches. We've been around. We've toured and served and been a deep part of many places, and we've seen a lot of things. I am constantly impressed at how God is working in and through people at YLFC. I know it's kinda early to say this, but I'm in looooooove....oh yeah, we attended a really cool welcome brunch on Sunday. Incredible stuff, just incredible...Many kudos to YLFC for their ability to stay true to themselves, and to be surrendered to what God wants for them, and to be real and genuine. This is truly a great church.

  I went to Jamba Juice last night, and I got an Immunity Boost.
  So shutup all you boost-booers. I don't want to hear it.
