Okay – a brief housekeeping note first. Don’t be alarmed if the site’s layout and look vascillates a little over the next day or two. I’m still experimenting with various wordpress templates, and I may end up with some fairly random graphics until I customise them. For example, currently there’s a rather fetching (albeit stark looking) 3D rendered lounge room up there in the header, which doesn’t really sum up the feel of the site.
Okay.
I turned up at the gym yesterday, expecting to get all sweaty.
Not the case.
I actually wound up spending more time in an office than out on the floor – filling out a questionnaire, getting measured and weighed, having my blood pressure taken (in the normal range, but marginally high) and doing a stretch test (do not ask how I went).
Actually pretty encouraging. In my previous gym attempts, I’ve basically just been given a card and then left to my own devices. That probably works for some people, but when it comes to exercies I pretty much need a regimen to stick to, and that’s what they’re working out for me. So I’m back again Tuesday for another consult where they’ll figure out exactly what sort of torture to put me through on a thrice-weekly basis to transition me from fatness to fitness in the most effective way possible.
In other news, it’s studio rebuild day tomorrow! My little spare-room office/studio will be thoroughly gutted, reorganised, and rebuilt bigger, faster, stronger. I ordered a nice (read “cheap”) 8RU rack frame from ebay on Tuesday, and it arrived today to my delight. So my audio interface, pre-amp module, lovely DBX compressor, power amplifier and (still to be acquired) patchbay will have somewhere to live. Plus I’m going to try to remove the little “hutch” thing on top of the desk, generally clean out a lot of the ancillary crap that’s accumulated, and I’ve got a couple of new things to put on the walls to make it all seem a bit more inviting.
I’m going to try to get it all done in the one day too, because I have some songs I need to look at on Sunday. A T3E demo which is all a bit mysterious at the moment, and another tune for an online collaboration. It’s all on!
