bluegrass ain't country, darlin'.
mmmmm spooky optics.
What are you doing in Vancouver? And that's your idea of a response to this issue of overcommitment??
hah!
well, yes...my response to overcommitment is to buckle down and finish what i've committed to, without getting myself into situations where i take on any new things. this is harder than it seems like it should be.
take, for instance, my recent trip to boston, where i went just to attend a conference and instead ended up doing sound all weekend and then starting to entertain the idea of moving to vancouver at some point to do music production in a new studio that my new friend is building. that's why i'm here now (in vancouver) and not home working on all these projects. fortunately, now that i bought my mbox, i can work on them while traveling. but you'll notice one of the things under "life" is to stop traveling. aye, i think (hope?) this is my last trip for quite a while.
Wow...I just don't know if it'll be the same having you in the country all the time. Does the president know about this?
i'd like to report that most of these projects were completed in 2006 except the scientific publications, which i'm still working on.
it's nice to look back on this and realize that i actually finished some things.
