After slogging through a particularly brutal week at work, I’ve done relatively nothing on my three-day weekend. Sure, I’m blogging today, I’ve done some preliminary work on the Philistine on the Sidewalk EP, and I’ve got an album ready to launch at Concatenation Records for tomorrow, but I had a huge list of things I wanted to do this weekend and I’ve spent most of my time playing Alpha Centauri for the PC. I think my brain rebelled after last week, as I was putting in four hour nights of sleep and working my butt off at the office, the gym, and working on my strategies for the future. I realized that I can take this weekend off and go back to my usual gung-ho approach next week and beyond, as I’ll have my weekday mornings open and available for working on my projects. Like I’ve said before, I enjoy blogging, but I’ve gotten to the point where three times a week is too much and I can come up with a better weekly blog than a thrice-weekly one. Quality over quantity and all that. I also want to focus more of my creative time towards my music and my websites, and the blog ate up quite a bit of that time every morning. There’s no rush with it today, obviously. I really have been enjoying myself this weekend – lounging around the house, working on music, spending lots of time playing with Barclay (which is something I haven’t had much time to do), and generally relaxing. I could get used to lazy weekends and psychotic weekdays, especially if the 4/3 balance could be maintained. Unfortunately, my job doesn’t allow for four 10-hour days a week, otherwise I’d do it in a heartbeat. Though I’m not looking forward to going back to the 5/2 schedule, I must say that I’m really looking forward to June, as the work I’ve been putting into the stock market over the past few months will really start to pay off. I’m also anticipating getting deep into recoding all of my sites and continuing to work on the first official Philistine on the Sidewalk release. Though it’s only four songs, it’s still going to be in the 30-35 minute range, so it’s not exactly short. In fact, I have a little experience with longer EPs, as “Dark Side of Zebes” under my Amaranthine Skies project was two songs and 41 minutes, 50 seconds long. Also, “A Chip off the Shizz Block, Volume Two” is coming due today, so the CD will hopefully be ready sometime in late June to early July. I’m also firing up “Nevar Say Die! Compilation, Volume Four” tomorrow, and hoping that it will be a one disc venture as last year’s two disc one was a bit of an ordeal. I’m looking to get that one wrapped up by late September to early October, so I can have the last couple months of the year to finish up a VG cover disc for MAGFest. Considering that I’ve already laid the groundwork for it, that shouldn’t be too hard to do. All in all, it’s been nice to decompress this three-day weekend and maybe I’ll be more productive on the next one, since it’s only about five weeks away. Also, the blog will now be on Saturdays for the time being, so pop by sometime in the early afternoon on Saturday and I’ll have something new up. Discuss this post at [The Forum of Jason Vincion]!
