The last day of november

Well we didn't write that song this week. I thought we wouldn't.
And to top it off I have bad hayfever. Which has made me quite annoyed.
It hasn't been the greatest weekend.
The songwriting is not happening either. It's just switched off. I'm uninspired. Well actually I am a bit by Everyday Sunday but it's still not working very well.
Life at the moment seems a tad grey. You know, kind of boring, same old, same old. I need something to wake me up.
And I'm not talking about coffee either.

camp's the best

I really like this picture. We took it at camp in herbetville in January this year. Except in the original Dan looks weird.

convertibles and datson 2-80's

today was another of those really hot days. and to top it off me and dan and jord had to deliver 500 pamphlets over half the town. then i had to run to the bank and deliver something. then i had to run to town and drop off a movie and buy potatoes. beka was picking me up but she wasn't at healthnuts so i had a wild-goose-chase everywhere for her. then i found her. then we had to walk to the supermarket to get pasta and then we finally got home. so now my legs are sore! oh and i saw this mean as yellow convertible with mean wheels. and beka saw a datson 2-80 which she smartly took a picture of. it's really cool. but i was on my bike and i didn't have a camera on my phone. it didn't matter though cause i've been using the same battery on my phone for a whole week without charging it so it kept turning off which was irritatingly annoying when i ran out of pamphlets and had to text mum so she could drop me off some more. but i finally managed it.

9:59

Well I'm here to inform everybody that at the very moment of writing this it is 9:59 pm. And that's New Zealand time.
If I was talking Saudi Arabian time then the people over there wouldn't have even woken up. Lazy bones.
I find it weird to think while we're having summer, over in USA the people over there will be shovelling snow from their driveways.
So spare them a thought when you're melting at Parachute.

Microphone stands

Haven't been up to much lately. Did a bit of band practice today. It's sounding pretty good but we need to practice a few of our songs more. Some we've got perfectly but others just need a bit more spicing up.

Problem is it's going to be tricky spicing them up when I'm really the only one who can do any of that. Not that Dan or Nate are suddenly obscure it's just Daniel can't really do that great on the keyboard when he has to use one hand to hold his microphone up (we need a microphone stand!). And even though Nate is the best drummer (for his age) that I've seen, theres not many fiddly bits you can do on drums. Well you know what I mean. You can't even play chords, not to mention notes on them.

It's getting a bit annoying.

Well we're planning on writing What I've done for Myself sometime this week if it all goes well but we probably won't get around to doing it tomorrow cos we've got a paper run.

Man I wish we had another guitarist sometimes. Or even a bass player.

Even though we're pretty good as it is. We just need a microphone stand! This one would do:

Or even this one:

But unfourtunatly we have neither of them. Though that last one looks easy to make...................

The Hottest day of the year

I'm sure it was today. Honestly I practically could feel my face melting off when I did the paper run. To top it all off I got hayfever from all the pollen floating around in the muggy air and spent half the day sneezing. All this did not add up for a good band practice at all. It was one of those days when it's hard to do anything except read. I didn't even feel like playing my guitar that much. (Very unusual I assure you)
It was 35 degrees! And this is Dannevirke we're talking about!
Oh well at least we didn't have it as bad as Beka. She had to an exam in this weather!
So hopefully tomorrow it's cooler. Otherwise I'll have to stick my head in the freezer.

Happy things

Hey its Dan here, Nate and Jaws are "babysitting" our friends and I'm stuck at home reeeeaaaaaalllllly bored.But I'm still happy for somethings, like our new amp, and freezing ice-blocks on a hot day, and cold rivers to jump into, and cool pictures like this one (see below)

thats it
