not sleepy

yeah it's like 4:30 in the morning. i should go to sleep but i've become obsessed with photoshop and the new song i'm writing with megan burtt. i think it's gonna be good. i also just like playing my guitar too much. i realized today that part of the reason i like playing it so much is because it still smells like my dad's workshop. it's like a woodchip/laquer/barn/machine grease smell. i love it. i think it calms me down, the way the smell of turkey dinner calms some people down.

we're going to try to finish all the tracks for the vancouver release this week. the first song we're putting on it is a human rights song that i wrote with my sister amanda and kyle called "could you love me better". it's a little bit cheesy, but very relevant and i'm excited to record it. it's one of those that has just kind of been sitting in a pile with the other songs that i haven't touched in the past six months. i feel bad for that pile. there's some good stuff in there. anyway, the next song is a tagalog song by a filipino artist name joey ayala called "walang hanggang paalam". it's a really sweet sounding love song. i'm a little nervous to record it (because of pronunciation, etc), but i think it'll be fine. i just have to practice.

ok typing is finally making me sleepy. nite.
