does a cop at my train station make me feel safer?

no. does 2 commuter bombings in London make me feel less safe? no.

so......great news. the studio situation has been solved, and decidedly in my favor. i was really looking forward to working at the original spot but where we've been moved is even better. even if it is in New Jersey. amazing live room [big enough i think for a roller rink], great gear all around, and it's residential. meaning no PATH train back to Manhattan for a connection to the Q back to Brooklyn late at night after a long day in the studio. it's more expensive, but here's a quote to take with you, "you pay peanuts...you get monkeys."

needless to say [but not so needless that i'm not blogging], i'm on a high right now. so much so that i decided to finally practice singing tonight. the one thing for the record that needed the most attention has been getting the least. but not anymore. linda's belt of moses is really making a difference. [i won't explain what that means]

since the NY [metro] studio is set, i might as well pass on the info for the texas studios. i'm not sure what will be done where.

so basically, the only thing left is to do the damn thing. and do it i will. [well, i guess i have to decide what to wear while doing it]
