Our Dining Room
We redecorated...
...And moved the dining room table out and put a smaller one in. Not to eat on, but to put stuff on. It's not like we ever used the dining room anyway. We eat like real Americans -- in the living room in front of the TV.
The room is a little messy. Someone should clean it up.
The dining room started out as a practice room and turned into a recording studio. Vinnie had a 12-track Digital Recording Device Thingy and brought it up from his personal guy space in the basement. I didn't even know he had one. But it's fun to play with. He programs in a drum beat then lays down his guitar tracks. Then, I do the vocals and he puts in the back up vocals. He also picked up a microphone for me. This is the first time I've ever sang in a mic. I've never even done karaoke (not even when I was really, really drunk).
We've also adjusted our playlist:
Permanent Songs - Wish You Were Here (sounds like a simple song but hard for me to sing), While My Guitar Gently Weeps (fun to sing), He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother (really fun to sing)
Songs We Ditched - 6th Avenue Heartache (for warm up only), Heaven & Hell (what were we thinking?), and I'll Stand By You (it's a piano song...that's the excuse Vin gave anyway)
Not Sure - Midnight Rider (fun to improvise because it's so straightforward)
Still Practicing - No Rain (fun!) and Suitcase Blues (love it).
Songs I Want To Do, But He's Being Stubborn About - Angel or Dreams by Fleetwood Mac and Easy to Be Hard (he always finds an excuse not to do female vocals songs even though they're easier for me, being female and all).

Did you notice I didn't do a bitchy post today? Oh wait. I'm sorry, spoke too soon, heh. :) I'll keep it short. While India's Mumbai was under attack with a hostage situation going on, Bush ignored that and pardoned some turkeys instead. It was like watching a really bad comedy sitcom about a mentally unstable president. If Bush honestly thinks that in the future, history will look back upon him more favorably than today, he's sadly mistaken in the same way that Hitler would have been if he thought that too. I also no longer think he should be impeached and sent to prison. A straightjacket will be sufficient.
