These things come in cycles

Two years later, I'm suddenly compelled to send some bits out into blogland again. Why? I don't know. These things come in cycles.

I have a different house, which is built entirely of 1950s Midcentury Modern Awesome. Moxie (nee Tigerlily) is 2 years old now, very sweet, and dumb as a bag of hammers. I'm crazy about her. I'm working on a new record. My MacBook killed 2 hard drives within a year of each other so now I have a MacBook Pro 15 and I dig it.

So much for the recap.

SF Bay Area Derby Girls rocked the Sacred City Rollergirls this weekend, 99-84. Came down to the last jam with 1:47 on the clock - whoever got Lead Jammer was going to win it, and Kitt Turbo delivered. It was a nail-biting bout with some brutal blocking by both sides...well worth the 90m drive to Sac. (B.A.D. Girls Website)

Also, I am doing my best to absorb a crapload of research about mixing, engineering, and production. I think it's paying off in the tracks I'm working on, but since I'm wearing all the hats (songwriter, performer, engineer, and producer) it's hard for me to tell.

Help us name our puppy

I read somewhere that eye-size:face:size ratio is a big part of what determines "cuteness". Small face, big eyes == cute. I postulate that big paws have something to do with it too. My mom emailed a couple of photos of her new puppies to me yesterday:

Buster

Tigerlily

I say "her", but I mean "our," as in the fawn one is hers and the white one is mine & Nina's. Mom is currently calling her "Tigerlily," but I'm not keen on the name. She's apparently the good one - affectionate, likes to sleep, doesn't pee in the house, and is figuring out how to use the dog door. Buster, OTOH, pees wherever he wants to, scolds Mom and her husband and their other longsuffering boxer, and gets into as much mischief as he can manage.

Mom's in San Diego and we're in San Francisco, so it'll still be a couple of weeks before we're able to pick up the little one. In the meantime, any suggestions on names?
