Log
09:00 AM: I’m up. Again today, I’ll work final push on the preparations for the DJ Gig: 2010-12-31 event and finish tagging the EADFF music files and adding them to my music library.
01:15 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
02:10 PM: Finished with the DJ Gig: 2010-12-31 project for today. I’ve added all remaining months of Promo Only’s EA DFF music series for 2010 to the library.
03:15 PM: [Mentat] arrived. His sister drove him here. He’s brought some eggnog with him which, I think I’ll try, as I’ve had none yet this holiday season.
06:00 PM: [Mentat] and I had a chance to catch up while [Emmy] napped upstairs. Things are going well for him in Ohio; aside from some settling in adjustments and compromises, over all, he’s enjoying the experience of living with his girlfriend.
06:45 PM: [Mentat], [Emmy], and I sat at the kitchen table or in the front den for the past couple hours, catching up. We’ve decided to order a pizza for supper.
07:30 PM: We hung out at my book shelf in the front room, talking about our favorite books and how [Emmy] and I had just finished reading Frankenstein.
07:45 PM: The pizza just arrived. So we’re digging in right now. Yum!
08:30 PM: The pizza, topped off with a cup or two of eggnog, was quite delicious. Now, we’re heading up to the office to sync all my music drives and to choose some tunes for tomorrow night.
11:00 PM: [Mentat] and [Emmy] picked out some songs that they’d like to hear at tomorrow’s New Year’s DJ gig, and I wrote them down.
01:00 AM: Then, we listened to some Eric Clapton songs that featured Marcy Levy (Detroit). To this point, I’d only ever known well her background vocal work with Clapton in his hits: Lay Down Sally, Promises, Wonderful Tonight, and Hello Old Friend. But we found some lead vocals she performed with the group Shakespear’s Sister in a 1992 song called Stay. I’d heard this chillingly memorable piece before, but never realized that it was Levy who sang it. Beautiful.
01:05 AM: [Mentat] also informed me that R&B vocalist Teena Marie passed away last week on Christmas Day. So we read an article or two about her on the Internet and added her song Sucker For Your Love to the play list for tomorrow night. She died unexpectedly and wasn’t that old either. Sad.
01:15 AM: Bed time. Back in less than twelve hours to write more. Good night now.
