I really like Johannes Linstead's Mediterranea album. It's just something I checked out of the library. Kind of a hispanic guitar and violin. So it's chill music, but it's exciting too. Or entertaining. I'm not sure. Certainly perfect dinner music, but something I like to listen to while driving as well.
The Legend of Zorro is campy but definitely entertaining. I think Zorro needs to be a little campy, doesn't it? No, not as good as the first movie. And as a lover of all things Antonio, I'll tell you that I am not taking his aging well at all. And what costume designer gave him that haircut for a two-hour film? But the cameraman is sure talented at catching Catherine Zeta Jones' "I'm beautiful" dreamy look. And I liked the kid. He was good.
I'm now working on three new songs. Zygotes of songs as Ani might say. The first has one verse of lyrics and accompanying melody and chords. One has all the lyrics written with nothing else. One has the beginning of some lyrics and a couple chords and melody lines. The first one I started a couple months ago. I hope I can finish them! Some don't ever make it. But at least I am working on something.
I waitress long nights tonight and tomorrow. Poi Dog Pondering is playing at Frankie's and I hope I am working the concert. It's been sold out for a couple weeks though and will likely be crazy. Hopefully, I'll make some money to make the long hours worthwhile. You just never know. My biggest issue in life right now is trying to decide when and how to quit this job.
My sister and family are visiting my parents this weekend so I have the place to myself. I'll mostly be sleeping, but at least I can do so in peace.
