it's been a start to one of those perfect winter weeks. i've been inside working hard on some new material that is much more acoustic based. the holiday buzz is over and it's time to start getting back to work and focusing on 2009. i was up til 3 am last night and slept in until around 11:30. I just started to drink tea with caffeine and brewed myself a cup of pg tips for breakfast. i also ate two blood oranges. i've been listening to Syd Barrett all day. "madcap laughs" is one of those great winter albums. it's so grey outside and the day looks like it belongs in some Edward Gorey book. i had a bunch of chili peppers in the refridgerator so i decided to make a homemade hot sauce. All of the peppers are now liquid thanks to the cuisinart and now they are going to sit for two days before i add the vinegar and final touches. after that, they will age for five days, so in about a week i can see if it tastes good or not. I also just had some roasted acorn squash for lunch. It went well with root beer. Becka is leaving shortly to get some headshots taken, and i'm going to go back to work and if i get a chance i'm going to start the Hunter S. Thompson book she gave me for christmas. I think it's time for another cup of tea.
