Black squirrels, Timber the bear dog, and a cat named Puppy…..

It’s the oddest thing…Vancouver has black squirrels. I thought it was a rat at first and I freaked out a little then I saw it’s bushy tail and relaxed. Isn’t that funny….the diference between freaking out and not is all in a tail. Hmm. John’s dog, Timber is like a bear. He’s a Siberian Husky. White and fluffy and big and snuggly. Makes me want one. But having a husky in LA is just cruel. Maybe I’ll get a bear. There’s a cat that wanders around the backyard named Puppy. Love that.
Ryan just put on the music of a Canadian singer, Matt Mays. Very Tom Petty. Nice. Wicked song. We are taking a break after song #1 of the morning, “Bobbi”. It was a bit challenging at first….it’s more of an “end-of-the-day” song I realized. But I lit candles and just made myself get there. Too bad that a beer at 10am didn’t real feel doable. Ha.

Up next is “Home”.

Ugh. Struggling on “Home” a little bit. The compression that has been working on all the other songs for some reason isn’t working so well on the choruses of this one….they sound all muffled. May need to adjust on my end…sing them brighter. We are now taking a much needed sushi break! It’s gorgeous out today (even if it is 26 degrees….that’s 2 degrees Celsius…I learned a trick – take the Celsius number, double it, and add 32 and there’s your Fahrenheit!

Back from sushi and we finished the track. Phew. It’s rockin. We’re about to start in on the last one for the day, “Spare Change.” I’m gonna sign off now…more to tell tomorrow and hopefully I will have some pics soon!!
