oh, memory

listening to: Regina Spektor - Hotel Song

maybe you just looked at my "listening to" and did a double take.
i just saw a video a friend took of it live, and i'm a sucker for live music.
and i think her voice and singing style is cool
and i felt the need to justify myself for listening to it..... haha.

i wish i could remember everything i read.
i'm finding i can't clearly remember some stuff i read just an hour or so ago.
now i have to reread it.
because it's important.

today was a long day at work.
but most of work was fun.
came home, just felt tired.
went to play with my guitar and new speakers and IT DIDN'T WORK!
almost panicked. after some trying i figured out it was the instrument cable that was broked.
yep, was broked.
so i plugged a different cable in and made some music.

i can definitely tell a difference in sound when i play through my amp and when i play through the cab. i feel like the highs are toned down through the cab. it's got a smoother sound i think. but i also think it doesn't handle heavy, low distortion well.

i felt kinda down, actually. maybe because i was tired. but i'm feeling real good right now.
recorded this incredibly sloppy playing of something i made up 5 minutes or so before recording:

Alex, i'm thoroughly enjoying reading The End of Reason. although that book includes the things i was just reading recently and can't remember as well as i'd like. after this one i move on to one pastor steve lent me, which should be good. then i'll read The Irresistible Revolution, which i've pushed back in favor of these two other books.
