watched Monster tonite... very disturbing movie - very well done. i surfed through the bonus materials (don't you love dvds) and was really glad that they had a long interview with the composer of the score... it drew my attention to the fact that there was this amazing soundtrack to the whole movie and i hadn't realized it while watching. it was that good...

trying to become more of a musicologist and listening to stuff i don't normally seek out. one of the biggest problems in our house is that we don't have a central cd spot... there are stacks and shelves and boxes and many of those cd binder thingys... so i didn't really have a clue how many cds we had until i did the math yesterday. at my estimation it's somewhere around 800. that's a loose figure... anyhow, my dreams of going to ikea and getting some of those cd organizers swiftly evaporated when i realized how many of them i'd need. darn, and i was actually getting all excited at the thought of organizing and alphabetizing them all.... i love stuff like that. yes, our house will be one of "THOSE" houses... *evil laugh*

been having a very healthy creative week in general. doing some writing every day, spending hours tweaking mixes. not saying how far along i am, don't want to jinx it. done that too many times already. farming things out for 2nd opinions. learning the crazy-beautiful guitar solo part in one of my favorite songs. drooling over a perfect-sounding refurbished J-45 acoustic in the store down the street. damn!!! wish i had the money, i'd snatch it up in an instant and be eternally happy.
