Nearslighted

i accomplished many things today, but only a few of them were things i had set out to do. many of the things i had set out to do were not accomplished, as i was seriously impeded by lack of creative energy. couldn't write a good set of lyrics and a song structure to save my life. i had a song stuck in my head [which i won't mention, because it's embarassing], and usually the way for me to get it out is to listen to it way too many times. i did that. it didn't work. i listened to it on my way to and from the gym, which was nice to go to, but yeah. didn't work.

earlier in the day, i went and visited the lovely wife at work. she pulled a double today, so i'm sure she's ridiculously tired. seemed like it, since when she came home she immediately plopped down on the bed and nearly fell asleep before i could even rub her feet! so yeah, hanging with carter and her for a few hours around lunchtime was cool. came back to the house with the intent of writing, recording, and filming the song/video for tomorrow, but got none of that done. i did record what i had intended to be friday's video [will end up being wednesday's — no song this week], so that's good. but most of the time was spent being uninspired and chatting.

tonight, i priced computers and cameras. it looks like i'll be picking up a well-priced gateway i7 number from a wholesaler, because honestly it's cheaper than buying the components and putting it together myself, plus i get the added bonus of a warranty and legit operating system. i also found two pretty nice 23" acer led monitors for under $300, so that's good. if the wife approves the deal, i'll be buying the computer and camera as an early graduation present for myself. kind of lame, i know, but i don't want to ask people for money. i want to make good videos and sell them real products. would help to get over the writer's block first, though. perhaps new gear will bring new drive/inspiration.
