stayed inside despite the nice (43 degrees) weather to finish the mixing and mastering of gp17, the title of which is still up in the air. my only excursion outside was to the lic mini mart to buy milk, orange juice, and beer. it was eight o'clock and dark but i sensed a small warmth in the breeze nonetheless. there is something really nice about taking deep breaths of night air and walking down a quiet street. may the coldest days of winter be behind us.
