happy groundhog day everybody! looks like we're in for a long winter. i once wrote a song called "long long winter." boy, it was really bad. i was trying to learn how to use a drum machine so "long winter" was my guinea pig song.

last night i wrote and recorded a song called "just to dream." wrote and recorded it in a few hours. the recording took a long time because this time i decided to record it into protools instead of my usual cheapo jam box. i'd never used protools by myself so it was a nice introduction. you can listen to the song here. it's just a demo so forgive any bad notes.

back to the original subject. speaking of groundhog day, my favorite movie ever is "groundhog day" with bill murray and andie macdowell. well, maybe it's top five now. i've been on a major wes anderson kick since seeing royal Tenenbaums. after seeing that movie i immediately went out and rented both bottlerocket and rushmore again. i love everything about those movies. the acting, writing, direction, characters, and the overall look. plus all those guys are from texas so that's always a good thing in my book. (although i wish we didn't have to claim Matthew McConaughey.)
