as i type this, my finished mixes are uploading to the Sterling Sound servers in New York for the mastering session on monday (the final stage of sequencing, EQ'ing, and prepping the album before manufacturing the actual CDs). it feels silly to admit this but before i pushed that button to start the file transfer i felt so nervous i could have puked! it was like.... "is this it? now? now? REALLY??!!" and now that i've committed and the files are sending, i feel a freakishly strong urge to laugh and cry all at the same time. like i can't believe i'm finally here. in these final days, every step is a heady rush, as if i'm about to skydive from a plane.

time to go out and blow off some steam.
