I Think I'm in Heaven

This place is awesome. Really awesome. I tried to post yesterday and the computer ate it - hopefully this one will make it. Suprisingly, I made it as number 3 to arise (I'm always the crabby late riser) this morning and my pre-emptive heavy water chugging before sleep prevented the whaskey (technical industry term for whiskey) and beers from getting the best of me.

The other clowns have covered a lot of the goings on. Technical wise, lemme see what I can pull off memory right now what I think's going on recording wise.

everthing's going to the studer 827 24tk.

i know there's more and i think i have some of that wrong, but that's the gist of it for now.

we just ate breakfast and actually have to do some work today. we got a ton done yesterday so that's awesome. jim and adam here at pachyderm are taking great care of us. i took a sauna the other night and went swimming in the frigid pool and it was awesome - that's in my plans for tonight again i think. once we get over to the studio i'll transfer the photos to greg's computer and i'll see about getting them online. greg's doing a kick ass job. and yes, after dinner last night patti and i were messing around and did some pj harvey covers that greg secretly taped a few seconds of that are really awesome. also, everyone's done theier best to do high school band interpretatinos of songs from in utero. liam and i did a shockingly awful version of all apologies.

i need some coffee.
