Tonya's All Better!!!

Well, Tonya went to the doctor today and got a clean bill of health!!! So, we're about to go celebrate by going to the beach and lay out and swim. I've been laying out as much as I can because I want to get some semblance of a tan before summer is over. I've even sneaked up to the roof of the studio a few times and laid out when I wasn't recording or helping produce the album. I'm about to head over there now! Can't wait to see her. I haven't been over there in a few days...

Speaking of recording... 8 tracks nearly finished!!! We're got 11 on the docket so we're almost back on schedule. John has been a workhorse. He's even been staying after hours to lay down some tracks. I'll have to admit. I'm pretty proud of him and his effort!!! I've been laying down lead tracks and I'm pretty happy with my parts so far as well. Some are the same as ones from rehearsal and from live shows and some are new parts. About half are new. Things sound a little different and I hear different things when ion the studio environment with headphones on and all. Different nuances and dynamics together can change a lot about what parts I play over certain chords. So, that makes it fun!!! I love coming up with parts. Just got back to Tauntaun's place about 45 minutes ago. Got to the studio around 10am this morning... Did a half day.

------------------------------

It's kinda crazy, and I know I've mentioned this before, but it's so amazing that I get to spend so much time with Tonya! She's so freaking hot and as a guy, I had absolutely no chance in hell with a girl like her!!! No, we live together and stuff!!! ;) Wow! I can't wait to see her in her bikini on the beach! She's the the definition of beach-babe or a bronze goddess!!! So hottttttt!

Anyway, I need to calm down... Getting heated up over here... Down nipples, down!!! Hee hee!

Here's a pic of my tan/bikini lines!!! See, this pale-skinned girl is getting some sun! I love it. I took this after I got out of the shower this morning before I went to the studio...

Check out those lines! Am I gettin' too chubby???

I better get my bikini on... Cute pink one!!!

Laters!

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!!!
