Sex, Lies, and Insomnia

Well it's around a quarter to eight in the A.M. and I haven't been to bed yet. I've really gotten myself turned around lately, and I need to make some adjustments. If you're interested (which you should be) Ed's demo (produced by me) can be downloaded at this link:

I think you need a file factory account in order to download it. I'm not sure, but until I figure out what combination of words I need to type into a search engine in order to find what it is I actually want to accomplish then we are stuck with this imperfect solution. It's also in a zip file with the cover art so let me know if the quality of the music degrades any because I zipped it.

Also Ed's blog appears to be back up so lets give it up for that. It's been a long time, and I'm sure we're all looking forward to having something else to read on the internet. I know I am since my internet activity outside of looking up information seems to never really expand beyond four or 5 sites, and some of those only update once a week.

I just realized I have 108 posts total. I wanted to do something special for my 100th, but I guess I wasn't paying attention so I missed it. I do want to get back to writing things of more personal or intellectual depth so I guess for my belated 100th anniversary celebration my next post will be a darkly humorous recounting of the two hardest laughs of my entire life. At least that sounds like a reasonable idea after not sleeping for an entire night.

Till then I'm just gonna rock the Bombcast, avoid loud noises, and hope I fall asleep at some point. In other words leave me the mother lover alone until tomorrow unless you have some awesome news to shoot in my direction ,but not by phone. Maybe I should have listened to Barack Obama's state of the union address. Ohhhhhh political humor!

Orrrrrr. At least she's kinda cute.

Quick Update

Gay man touched my butt yesterday in a thrift store. Weird. Had a dream I was in the Hannah Montana show. Double weird. Got a cool idea for Christmas present for a friend. Not so weird. Might be taking a trip to Georgia. Weird but good. Still confused about... well weird also.

Why do I find this so annoying? Maybe because it's the French.

Update

I finished reading the script last night. My favorite bit by far was:

Balhog

I remember his wrath was most keen on the new moon.

Sherlock

Right you are. Ecliptic longitudes inspired a deadly hatred within that man.

I've decided to rewrite a portion of the last half. The three separate parts where the Elder god appears to each of the sons just feels too lazy. Of course given that I had to write the whole thing by hand in three days, while at work, and then type up copies as well as fix what I could it's pretty darn good. Some seriously funny lines in here.

So that's it. I'm doing a Resident Evil 4 marathon, but besides that things are dull. Seems not every one is talking to me. Also it looks like a possible trip to Georgia might be in order in the next month or two. We'll see.

Yeah right buddy.

More posts below? Yes, he's wearing sneakers. Why? Why not?

Crying on the Outside

Time for this demo to drop! I've just finished mixing the new Ed Gonzalez EP Crying on the Outside: The Ed Gonzalez Story. It is hot.

The album is produced by Mr. 97 (Me) with all songs performed by Edward Gonzalez out and around my apartment. We didn't have a lot of time to do as many takes as I would have liked so with head phones on the nature sounds can be a bit distracting. But it's all about the silky smooth instrumentals by Mr. E Gonzalez, and they're sure to impress. Some fine performances guaranteed to delight.

The Cover and the back






Currently they can only be listened to here with one of the songs on the widget below.

I haven't found a way to make them available for download just yet, but I should have that fixed by tomorrow. The songs are in order, and the cover art is also up on that link. Please enjoy, and let's not forget to support our friend Ed. Peace!

The Plays The Thing

I've sat down to work on the new prelude, but I need a character name. The thing will take place around 1922 (roughly 14 years before the events of the first play) aboard the Manganese Indifference which is a steamer ship about to depart to Tahiti.

It will be darker and more serious that the first one only in that it will have some very slight hint of seriousness with more toned down dialogue. I've got a lot of ideas, but unfortunately I've hit a dead end coming up with one of the three main character's name. It may sound strange, but the name really dictates how I write the character. I have a general idea of what I want from them, but I need that in place to put myself into their head.

I also reread some of the script, and I laughed a lot. I had forgotten how over the top a lot of the dialogue was, and there's some real gems in there. I'll be cleaning it up a little. I saw a line or two that I want to remove. Just some small things where I felt I over stated something or a place where the lines could be punchier with a sentence removed. No major revisions.

So when I do get around to rerecording it it'll be under the title:

The Though of Reasoning: Deus Ex Machina Redeux

Now that is a mouth full. For any one reading this who is not familiar with this project or the original radio play that spawned it (I believe that one was recorded back in early 2000) it actually is called The Though of Reasoning and not The Thought of Reasoning. That's not a typo just an inside joke. Any ways unless some people come down at some point it's going to require getting a new voice cast. Well mostly new anyways.

Besides that I hope every one has had a pleasant Thanksgiving. I'm pretty sure every one did since I've saw most of the regular readers this weekend., but for any one else I hope you have a good holiday and had plenty of lovely things to eat. God bless you all.

*Update* I also did some recording with Ed or EarthVsJazz as some might know him. I'll have a three some EP either done today or tomorrow. More when I'm finished.

*Update Update* And if you're wondering how the new prelude will tie into the original script then you know nothing about me. I will hint that it will be reveal something mind blowing about on of the original characters, but you'll have to pay close attention or you'll miss it.

They have stolen our minds!?!?!?!

Happy Thanksgiving

I didn't realize tomorrow was Thanksgiving. I've had a hard time sleeping lately, and have been staying up till 6 a.m. or so. This of course means I sleep later and later into the day so it's not a wonder I forgot something like that.

First off lets be thankful. If you go here you can send a free greeting card to a random soldier in Iraq. It's sponsored by Xerox, and only takes a minute or two.

Second the new Uwe Boll movie is free to watch on Netflix. I will be watching that, and I will enjoy the crap out of it.

And of course those lovely eyes.

I have nothing profound to say about life, religion or anything else at the moment. I'm am feeling a lot more cheery today, and tomorrow I will stuff my cram hole to the max with foods. It's been quite a year for every one I know. Deaths, births, Ed and his never ending roller coaster of self inflicted catastrophes. Maybe next year will be better. Who cares? All I know is that absolutely everything I come in contact with tomorrow I will smother in gravy. I might even use gravy to do naughty things to myself. Depends on the kind of mood I'm in.

I would also like to announce possible future plans to rerecord "the play." I need to get a copy, and retype it since mine was taken from me by the mold people. I'm also working on a one act prequel that will take place 40 years before the events at the farm house. It will involve three fishermen on a boat docked out side of New England. How will this relate to the original play? Even I don't know!

God bless you all.

Here's a cool song. No I am not the lead singer.
