One of the scant few positives of the quarantine is the increase in visitors that used to be infrequent and not in such big numbers. @ Machine Room Studio

Hey all! Check this out either in my IG Video feed or on YT (linked in bio). This is the hijinks that boredom and a studio full of recording gear will create. Enjoy!

Base trim, door barn-style trim, and gobo frames. Moving steadily along.

Today's social distance project...plank flooring over heavy stall mats in the new isolation live room. Trim work, door, acoustic treatment, cable runs are next.

So close I can hear drums in the distance!

I was a little dismayed at the lack of a crowd at my polling location this morning. Here's hoping that I just got lucky, and the crowds preceded me or are yet to show.

Back in high school, my one friend, Dan, and I were the only two kids who watched and revered Monty Python. Explains a lot about me...anyway, point is, when PBS announced they were ending airing the syndicated shows from BBC, they showed a "Python-athon"; 48 hours of all the sketch shows and all the films back to back in succession. We decided we should video tape this, and proceeded to stock up on blank VHS tapes. I went to his house, and we attempted sleeping in shifts all weekend, just so we could time switching tapes over. I was proud we got nearly halfway before exhaustion overwhelmed.

That's how much it meant to me then, and explains why today has been so emotionally draining. Terry Jones was a consummate genius; he directed (and co-directed) all the films, wrote most of their most memorable sketches, and even published series' of children's books along a collection of essays on the evils of the war on terror. The world seems a lot less colorful, and a lot less funny today. The best I can offer is that Terry Jones was a very naughty boy, and not the Messiah. But he came pretty damn close.
