Back in the Studio Today!

Ah, the smell of goose stock! It permeates everything. It wafted upstairs last night, so that we woke up to the smell of roasted goose, garlic, onion, etc. Of course this means waking up pretty hungry, but pizza took care of that. Pizza for dinner, pizza for breakfast, pizza for lunch. It's a trifecta.

But this is not a food entry, and certainly not one of those miserable entries that people put out there that list what they ate for lunch:

-Today is pretty good. I had a tuna sandwich for lunch. I think I might check out the latest Dave Matthews Band video.

No, no, no. The only reason I mention pizza is because it was a three in a row affair, and thus becomes a curiosity: ah, the erudite restaurant critic, when left to his own devices, eats exclusively pizza! The savage! What next? Hot dogs?

But the thing is, the exciting news, is that in a few hours I will be descending into the studio with a good friend of mine to build a theremin.

When it is done, I will report. Maybe some pictures, although if I post pictures, they better be those long-promised ones from Las Vegas.

One last random item: I read Cormac McCarthy's The Road. It is bleak, dismal stuff, but worth reading if you can stand the setting, which is post-apocalyptic America. It is a portrait of love enduring through the most hopeless of situations, and is very well-written. I can't say that I recommend it to everyone, though.

OK. I've got to go rig up some more lights downstairs.
