Around 100 CDs

I don't know why I decided to, but at some point in the past month or so I started listening to my CDs again. I have two big 100 CD cases at work, and I rarely ever listen to them anymore. So for whatever reason I started listening to them again, 1 by 1, without skipping any, no matter how much I wanted to.

And now, I'm through the first 100 (though some might have been misplaced, so it's probably a couple short of that). From classical, to jazz, to rock, to whatever others I had back in high school to fill out my case - I listened to a lot of music.

It was weird that wasn't looking forward to hearing probably 90% of the albums, but once I started listening they weren't that bad. It was really cool to rediscover some albums I hadn't heard for a while - I hadn't listened to any Frank Zappa for years.

My favorite part was getting to my Primus albums, which are just amazing. Another guy from the office saw that I had them out, and let me borrow his Primus DVD - Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People, which has all of their music videos and tons of other footage. Very cool stuff.

Still busy

Just checking in to say I'm still alive, and I'm still busy. I spend enough time at work that I don't want to do much thinking at my computer when I get home (though I've spent some time programming a side project in the past couple of weeks - I don't really understand the logic in that either :)

Winter percussion has settled down a bit - we're done with the writing and learning of all the music, even after a last minute rewrite of the final song. We have another competition this weekend, which will keep this Saturday busy as well.

Now to get more sleep...
