"This work is dedicated to my precious synthesizers."

Ryan had to make it to practice later than everyone else, so we utilized the time to get some recording in. We finished the drums on "Cameras" (mother-fucking--finally!!, though I'm sure we'll need to go back and fix some fucking mistakes, but the main shit is there, in total, in all its frankenstein wonder...I even wrote a new part for the last chorus). Then Ryan came over and we worked on the set. We drilled that one song he sings and it's finally coming together live (we also slowed it back to the original tempo, no wonder I was having trouble with the drum roll as it was a bit faster). We all had dinner at El Mezcal and Mary Beth and Shawna joined us. Then we went over to Josh and Molly's for gaming. Ryan even showed up too! We broke out The Arkham Horror, which is a very complicated game. I was into it, but I don't think anyone else was really. Poor Josh, he ended up abandoning it after a little while. Then we played ping pong and I was kicking some ass. I lost some and sucked some, but I think I did pretty well overall. Josh and I had a particularly brutal match that was neck-and-neck and kept going to like 17-15 or something like that. Anyway, I went to this gym this afternoon and now it's time to get READY for the trip.
