Bought a new bass...Zon Sonus Special 5 string.  Plays great -- very clean and deep tones.

Current Music: Radiohead - Kid A

...since I last posted on this thing.  Maybe I should just close it.

Anyways, life is busy.  Working a lot of hours, too many.  Not getting enough sleep, too little.  Got ES practice tomorrow, looking forward to making some noise.  We've pretty much decided to drop the previous Harvest Aorta incarnation, but are going to rerecord it with the new lineup.  Maybe the original will make it on to some obscure limited archive release at some point, accompanied with the verbal bowel movements of Battema and the turd-tossing of O'Neill.  (Mostly just checking to see if either of those two fools ever use livejournal anymore)

Emily is now a little over a year old.  I can't believe it has been a year and how much she has changed in the past year.  I'm pretty sure she is going to be a musician, or some sort of engineer.  She love electronics, dances whenever music is on, and crawls over to my instruments and starts plucking the strings on my basses and guitar.  She's an extremely curious and intelligent girl, always curious about how things work, and I'm amazed by her every day.

Dark Symphonies is reissuing Rain Fell Within's "Believe' this year and the Solemn Days album is accompanying it.  We all put a lot of emotional time and effort into that band, one of the major things that tore it apart, so it's nice to see that Dark Symphonies still supports it and puts the effort in sparking interest into it.  

The family and I are heading down to the Outer Banks for Thanksgiving.  We rented an oceanfront house with my extended family and plan to spend a couple of days away from the DC area, just catching up and stuffing ourselves with food. Looking forward to it.

Well, I'm a homeowner now.  My wallet is a lot lighter.  Probably be moving to the new hood in late September.
