Clothing Company Model

If it's cool with Skyline, I'll be heading across the pond possibly next weekend to Essex, England for an interview and pre-shoot with a clothing company. I can't say the name of just yet but this is huge! An awesome jump in my modeling career. I can't wait. This company looks really cool and perfect for me!

Time for a crazy/happy face!

One more song to sing on tomorrow then a listening party and then the refinements will be made by the production crew, me included. Record is sounding so good! I can't wait to get it out there for the fans and listeners!

Worked today at the office and mostly just ran around like a crazy person because two of the printers that I print a lot of my finished work to were not working. I spent a lot of time with the IT guy who I believe has had a crush on me for at least as long as I've been Bree so probably the whole time he's worked here in this timeline. He's nice and all but... Just not into him and his gender. lol!

At home chillin' now and about to watch Empire Strikes Back. (Really hoping Tonya calls to hang out...)

PEACE!

Studio, Studio, Studio...

I may as well just move into the studio... Got there around 11am-ish Wednesday morning, left around 3am and went to my place. Didn't go to work yesterday and went back there around Noon. Left there last night around 3:40am and came back to Tonya's. I did bring my laptop yesterday with me and tried to get a few design projects done while I wasn't tracking... Kinda hard on a laptop though.

We're up to 7 songs now with the basic layout complete. Making some headway.

Heather and Jess got back yesterday. They seem to have had a great time. They brought me back a really cool figure set from Star Tours and a neat Darth Vader mug! The 4 of us are going out tonight. Gonna get all dressed up and go to a nice restaurant and then probably to a late movie!!! Should be a fun night. Then probably clubbing! Woo Hoo!!! I think I'm going to go all out with some super, smokie eye make-up I saw a tutorial for a couple days ago on youtube. I'll post the pics in the next blog. For now, in honor of these wonderful gifts Heather and Jess got me, I will leave you with some tasty, visual, Star Wars treats!!!

And how about one of little ole me!!!

This is what I think about doing design work with no mouse!
And, they have it so damn cold in the studio!!! Had to dig out a "sweater..."

Two full days of stuff going on!!!

I'm exhausted... From yesterday and today, I need a break, a vacation... something! Alcohol!!! More alcohol!!!

I just got in from recording and I'll try to recap...

The rest of Monday...
I went over to Tonya's and we ran a little (and walked a lot!). She ran as much as she could and then we would walk! And thank god for that, it's not like I'm in the greatest shape either. I was huffing and puffing enough to blow down a little pig's house myself!!! I got her to take a few shots of me running so I could post them on here so Carolyn could see them and see me exercising... We ran at a park near Tonya's condo complex... A lot of people run there...

I thought this girl was stalking me. She was running really close to me the whole time. Actually freaked Tonya out too!
Turns out she recognized me and wanted to meet me. Her name is Janice and she just started playing guitar and had seen one of my bands shows. She was pretty soon but a little creepy at first.

As much as I hate running, I had a pretty good time  running with Tonya. It's always better running with someone else.

After that, Tonya was really too tired to go over  to Mom and Dad's. She just wanted  to rest so I promised her I'd bring her some casserole back with me. I headed over to my parents house and jumped in the pool first thing before I even said hey to them. I really love swimming. Being alone in the pool around evening time is so relaxing. Luke got there for dinner and we ate and then watched some TV and then I headed back to Tonya's... And we had some fun!!! Long awaited fun!!! I guess she got rested up enough while I was gone! We had the place all to ourselves and we, well, tried out every room!!! Hee hee!

Nice coming home to this!
Snapped this pic in the living room as she was pulling the curtains shut!!! Hot Mama!!!

So today, I got up, uuuggggg, and went to work. I worked straight until 3pm-ish and then had to be at the studio for tracking and "vocals" around 3:30. Hit Mcdonald's drive-thru and got a mean and ate in the car on the way to the studio. John finally had the drums down for the first three somgs and was tracking the 4th one and was actually doing quite better when I got there. Having to stay on beat was keeping him more in the pocket, which is a good thing for him! I played on three more songs and then went into the vocal booth to track my first ever vocals with the band on a recording! Exciting! Never got to do this when I was Brendan, but, we had just really started out when we put that EP out so...

Had a little meeting with Josh about how we thought things were going and then headed back to Tonya's place. Super long day. Gonna watch some ESPN U and see what, if anything, they're saying about the 'Canes. Could be another long year... We have Florida in week 2. The 'big, bad SEC..."

Well, about to hit the shower and then try to convince Tonya to switch channels from the History channel to ESPN.

Laters!!!

Heather Wins BIGtime and a Recording Update...

So, Heather and Jess will be staying here in Miami! She totally killed it Saturday!!! That girl can really skate.

And guess what!?!?!?!? She is a changeling, too!!! Yep! She was changed by a wish either by her or by her "girlfriend" Jess. Yep, they're an item now... So much happening. She got 3rd in street, took rookie of the year, best trick, and got 1st in vert. She pulled off a kick-flip mctwist 900 in vert that basically sealed the win!!! She actually has a blog that you can check out... Heather's Blog!!! 

Recording update... Well... Drummer issues are currently the problem. Two days in and John can't stay on beat with the loop on either of the 3 songs we're working on right now... That's causing all kinds of issues and really putting us behind schedule. He did ok on the EP we put out, but who knows what his deal is now... He better get it together soon!

The studio is cool! It has a nice feel to it and that's crucial when it comes to making a good sounding record. Here are a few pics...

Bree's gonna steal that Tele!!!

Bree's gonna steal that Martin!

Well, I'm out for now! Gonna go grab some lunch with the guys and then get back to tracking, hopefully! God, I just want to fire John!!!

Big Day Today for Heather!

It looks like all the weather has cleared (finally!) and the forecast is clear today for the skateboard competition! It actually feels really good outside today! High maybe like 83 or something...

Heather is really nervous and has been really anxious and has been running around here like a chicken with her head cut off!!! I hope she does well. If she does, she'll get to join a team here and stay, which is what I think her and Jess really want to do. Would be cool to have them around. They're fun to hang with! ;)

Yesterday, the band took all of our stuff to the studio we'll be recording in. We start laying down some tracks Monday. I can't wait. Me as Bree has never properly recorded anything so it should be both fun and interesting... I have so much new gear!!! I'm kinda giddy!

Well, off to the competition! Trying to decide if this tank will be ok... I don't want to get my shoulders burned... I absolutely hate that!!!

Smokey eyes!!! You peeps like the smokey eyes???

C-ya!!!

I Feel Better!

I'm feeling even better now! Gonna play some guitar and maybe record some demos to the songs I've been working on to show to Josh. My appetite's not quite back yet but I feel my stomach growling a little...

I hope to find a way to put one of my songs on here soon! I really want whoever is reading this to hear them. I really like them a lot. Melodies and lyrics have been coming to me much faster then they ever did for me as Brendan. I'm not sure if it's the new emotions or just the inner workings of this female brain, but the stuff just flows now! On to the demos!!! Well, actually, Molly is on the keyboard right now. Sometimes she hopes up there and stops recording... Crazy cat! Gotta love her though!

And yes, I still have my PJs on!
