Waiting for...

... Godot proofs. The artwork has been received and is being scrutinized. Hopefully all is in order; I'll be getting proofs (as links to PDFs) tomorrow if all goes well.

... proofs a dishwasher. When I got home from OSCon I was immediately greeted by a sink and dishwasher full of dirty dishes. This isn't too unusual. But after running the dishwasher, the situation was essentially unchanged. This is unusual; fortunately we've been expecting it, and the flower_cat has been closely following the Western Appliance ads in the paper. Our Bosch dishwasher is due to arrive this morning. The only color they had in stock was black, so it'll match our oven but not the cabinets or the fridge. But it'll make our Goth-girl daughters happy.

09:25 the dishwasher is here. The old one has been leaking; some cleanup will be required. Work will have to wait.

No news is good news?

No word from Oasis today, but my call this morning verified that the artwork has been received and is being scrutinized. Proofs are expected tomorrow, so my working hypothesis is that they haven't found any problems requiring attention from me or artbeco. But still...

Showed the packaging mock-up to a couple of people at work today. It's very cool. Not clear how many people are going to read it carefully, but hopefully they'll at least find the link to the lyrics and other stuff on the web. If not, well, they'll always have Paris the album.

It's very quiet around the house

Our house-guest is gone for a couple of days, our older daughter is off on an extended visit to her fiance, and for the first time in months I don't have mixing or editing to do. I'm done, too, with the seemingly endless succession of test disks to listen to. There are still tasks left: I have to burn bonus disks, pull together the customer list, and let's not forget practice, all before ConChord, less than three weeks away.

But it's the quiet that strikes me. I'm not used to it anymore.
