STUDIO DIARY #2 (April 14 - 20, 2000)
April 14th
Oh dear god...........thank f@#% it's Friday. I have THE worst hangover known to man and I need to go lie down somewhere really dark and quiet right NOW!!!!!!
Instead I'm in the studio and it's REALLY noisy and everyone seems to be in high spirits and Mighty Mike (one of the studio engineers) is planning to hold a barbeque out on the patio which means more carousing and drinking and all. Man just thinking about it makes me want to PUKE!!!!!!
That's all for today. I can't bear to face the computer any longer.
I WANNA GO HOME.
Toot toot.

PS.Creepy words: Champagne, red wine, brandy, whisky and grand marnier!!!!!!!!
Oh my ill-advised folly.
April 15th
Ahh........a bright and breezy Saturday. No hangover.......plenty sleep. I spent the entire day marvelling at how good I felt!!!!!!!!!!
We burnt cd's of all the ideas we have accumulated so far and surprised ourselves at how much work we have actually managed to get through already. Unfortunately there is still plenty more to be done!!!!!!!!
Worked a little on the computer fine tuning details for the new Garbage Palace site that we are about to launch and then decided to join the boys for a mexican dinner at our favourite new restaurant in town.
They all decided to go out thrashing later but I returned to my hotel and watched Marianne Faithfull on Session on 54th Street and was blown away by how great her songs still sounded! Still relevant. Still wicked.
Anyone out there who has yet to hear the album "Broken English" has to go out and by it RIGHT NOW!!!! It's AWESOME. "Why'd ya do it" is total genius. (Courtney should cover it.)
Later.

Sunday is a sacred day off. I'm saying NOTHING.
April17th
Monday morning and I am up bright and breezy. I finally enlist in Driving School which is something I have been meaning to do for an eternity. I am determined to pass my test this year. I DEMAND my freedom.
Steve's Bad Joke of the day:
I went to the doctor and I said: Doc I feel like a teepee, I feel like a wigwam, I'm a teepee, I'm a wigwam. What's my problem?
And the doctor replied: You're too tense.
KABOOM
Isn't that quite possibly the UNFUNNIEST joke you have EVER heard?!??!?
I'm off.

Oooh yummy.....I went for a facial today. It was absolutely WONDERFUL. I was feeling super MEAN when I woke up but by the time I left the salon I was walking on air. There is absolutely nothing finer than a satisfying facial......especially if they find a blackhead or two to remove! I fucking LOVE that!!!!!!!!
Ha ha ha...........
Unfortunately my mood was less than enhanced when I went to pick up the band's coffee order of the day. The espresso machine was out of order at the coffee house we like to frequent and so we were DENIED our latte fix! MAN.......the hits just keep coming.
(Except *badabing* when we are working in the studio. Ha ha ha.........bad joke alert.)
Ciao bambinos.

April 19th.
AAAAAHHhmmmmmmm.....so I am going to bend your ears.
I have just paid a visit to the Garbage message board and I read "Garbage Have Betrayed us!" all over the damned place!!!!
All because we have chosen to work on a new cd instead of a compilation of old material!!!!
MAN.....you animals are tough on us huh?!?!?!?!?!??!?
Now I realize that some of you are disappointed and for that we are terribly sorry but there is certain information that I am unable to share with you all at this particular juncture which would explain our actions perfectly. In the course of time you will come to understand why we can't deliver what you are wishing for but in the meantime it sure would be nice if you Garbagers could be cool about this. We NEVER take decisions regarding our music lightly so please.........practice a little patience darklings.

PS. Did anyone else watch that "Men Strike back" on telly last night?
MEN?!?!?!??!!?!!? Em.....no I don't think so!!!!!!
And any male over the age of 21 years old should NEVER wear leather pants in public! What a sorry sight! Keep that kind of display for the privacy of your own bedroom please.
April 20th
I had a 9:30 am start this morning when my trainer arrived on the doorstep with a gigantic blue ball!?!?!??! My god.....if you could see the things she made me do on it you would die with laughter. I felt a complete asshole. Feeling as tired as hell due to the aforementioned early rise and the fact that we were working late last night. Not to mention the freaky nights sleep I had!!! Due in part I'm certain to the weirdo dreams I was having courtesy of a chapter of James Ellroy just before falling asleep.
Did you watch the Joni Mitchell Special on TV? JEEZ. What a ghastly display of sycophancy at it's very worst. I wanted to puke!
But I have to confess that right from the start I had a prejudicial attitude. Not that I have a problem with the music per se but years back during a visit to Scotland Joni Mitchell was rude to my wee sister who used to work as a waitress in a restaurant that Joni and her friends visited. According to my sister they treated the staff like shit.
So ever since I have emotionally black-listed Ms Mitchell. Family is family at the best of times but me and my wee sister........that's something ELSE.
Favourite quote of the day from the movie "EasyRider":
"I'm just doin' my thing
