Did the new vocals for "Little Computing Machine" this evening. Might have time for another, depending on how my throat feels. There are three or four vocal tracks left, and about the same number of guitar tracks (most of which are just due to the fact that when I record over half of a scratch track I have to record the other half as well).

Weekend Wrap-up; [15 minutes]

Got in a good walk this morning, then stopped in at Guitar Showcase to see what was in their consignment shop. Since percussion tracks were on my mind, I picked up a tambourine (which I'll need for "TEOTWAWKI" and possibly "Bound for Hackers' Heaven") and a little wooden gizmo that's basically spoons for cheaters. Also a purple guitar stand. It matches the purple music stand perfectly, and the flower_cat thinks they look better in the living room than the black ones. I didn't think she'd object; she's the one who has to look at them all day...

Went out for a moderately-long drive in the afternoon, going through Los Gatos, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and finally back to San Jose by way of El Camino Real and the Alameda. It's always interesting to see what businesses are prospering, which have failed, and what new things have replaced them. A couple of new restaurants we'll have to try.

[15 minutes] Spent a little more than the cannonical time tidying up in the bedroom, and tracking down the last of the undersized shirts to go into the recycling bags, which I dragged out to the van. A little more time shuffling stuff around in the "studio" area to get things out of the way.
