Airport blues

Hungover and exhausted at the airport, and the flight's delayed.

Went to Krystal and Eiei's place last night where we drank wine and watched movies. I really liked The Dreamer, a foreign film that Eiei calls "artsy fartsy." The characters were really interesting and unique, and, as their personalities developed, I got to like them more and more. The movie moved well from stages of weird, to weirder, to truely odd, and it transitioned so smoothly that nothing seemed too far out of place- even the scene where the american boy, the french girl, and her brother all bathe together. I like when writers sneak stuff by you, and afterward you think "wait a minute how did THAT not stand out?!!" The three bottles of wine probably didn't help our cause.

Crashed around 3, and woke up no later than 8:30. Working people: which one of you decided you should start so early??

So now I write and dream of napping, while Lipsky brags about his free trip to anybody and everybody that answers their phone. And reads my book. And runs a tab up for me at the bar. I think he's been waiting for this for years.

By the way, It's really nice out. nearly unbelievable. It's been this way all week too. I guess December missed the memo that it's supposed to be cold and mean. I almost feel bad that I picked this time to head to a 70 degree climate.

Almost.

What else? Split Rock Entertainment, my pet project, is picking up steam, and I'm very excited. Our Band's first CD comes out in a week or so, and we are having a release party on the island on the 23rd. Then the band and I head to Buenos Aires in late january for a month to promote/play/begin our global musical domination. And maybe to meet cute girls. Work is so much fun.

Miguel and I met earlier today and had a brief meeting. What we really need to do is work out the fine tuning of our contract with the band, which means less distractions, which means less going out and meeting said distractions. And neither of us seem very good with that. Perhaps we can keep each other focused just enough to hammer out some solid work before the gears really start turning. Time will tell. It's definitely awesome having someone the team who lives and breaths music and music production, and given how good the band is, I have nothing but confidence.
