gabriel.jpgBounjour. I’ve decided to venture from the creepy confines of MySpace into a more professional? blogging world. Unsure, really. Anyway, I’m new. I’ve decided to name this site after the 13th element, in Latin, hense the funky spelling. It’s just so much fun to say, though. “Al-you-min-e-um.” Undertoe Studios is the name of my makeshift studio/recording space/office in my 100-year-old condo in St. Paul, Minn. Yes, I just used AP style. There will be no requisite style, aside from as-of-yet undefined style. Call it what you want … “blogese” … “blogiage” … “ablogination” … it will be me. And most of the time, it will contain erros, both spelling and factual. Check it out from time to time for pictures of my Terrier mix breed Jameson, a random YouTube video, my g-friend, updates on trips I’m taking, maybe an audio track here and there (if I can upload them, I’m still not sure).

4:51 p.m. It’s already the end of the day and I haven’t written anything at work. But here’s a quick update of my day so far …

1 a.m. I awake to the dog whining in his kennel.
3 a.m. I again wake up because it’s so damn hot. I haven’t got around to installing our window-mounted air con yet.
6:45 a.m. (after much tossing and turning) I awake grumpily to let the dog outside.
8:15 a.m. I lock myself out of our complex because I forgot to grab my keys because I was eyeing a gargantuan mosquito in the doorway.
9:30 a.m. I scale a wall and shimmey into the building through a window of an unoccupied unit. I, luckily, didn’t get the cops called on me.
10:20 a.m. I arrive at work, already rueing the day ahead.
Noon hour I “brought the pain” meaning I sit down to eat my sacked lunch.
1 p.m. meeting … largely unproductive … ended with a go-round of Monty Python piths.
Rest of the afternoon is spent YouTubing and making my blog. There ya go.

EYD (Enjoy your day) and RTFM.
