STUDIO DIARY #6 (May 12 - 18, 2000)
Friday 12th
I'm so depressed today I can barely even muster the energy to type. Managed to haul my sorry ass to a Pilates class this afternoon and proceeded to moan and whinge at my trainer to such an extent that I saw her eyes glass over with boredom!!!!
Then to add some agony to my misery I seriously binged on chocolate and popcorn the second I got back to the studio and consequently I want to shoot myself. I mean....what's the bloody point of working my ass off only to shove it straight back on the minute I arrive home?!?!?!?!?!
Saturday 13th
Feeling slightly better today although we're not working in the studio this Saturday and Sunday. We've decided to take the weekend completely off. I'm in two minds about that. Firstly I think we all definitely do need a break from each other but on the downside......I go mad in this town when I'm not working.
Horrid word: Silage
Sunday 14th.
Off
Monday15th
Patti Smith came into town over the weekend and I believe she's staying at my hotel!!!! Great excitement all around as she's one of my all time HEROINES!!!!!!!
We sent her a big bunch of flowers to wish her well and if we get done with our tasks in time we are going to be able to catch the show. YIPPPPEEEEEEE
Tuesday 16th
Last night I finally mastered the art of noodling!!!!!! I have joined the ranks of musicians around the world who noodle noodle noddle and just won't quit!
I was trying out some vocal ideas I had for a song we're working on and I admit it! I just freestyled for nigh on 38 minutes!!!! Jeez. How lo-fi is that?!?!?!?
As I type the boys are painstakingly picking through the takes to find the ideas we think work the best.
Ha ha ha.............painstaking indeed.
Wednesday 17th
Today turned out to be pretty much a washout..............in recording terms anyway.
Butch got stopped by the police for speeding though which totalled "Garbage Police Incident" numero 3 in this month alone which amused us all to no end. In the evening we held a highly enjoyable web chat with fans to launch our new Garbage Palace Site. A virtual environment chat room for everything Garbage. You should check it out. It's pretty clever.
Thursday 18th
Oh my god........I have THE worst hangover EVER. We went out to celebrate the launch of our Palace site last night and drank way too many Champagne Margaritas for our own good. Then to add misery to agony I had to get up at 7:45am to make it across town for an appointment with my chiropractor. I felt SO completely vile that I actually fainted when they asked me to stand up to have some X-rays taken of my back!!!!!!
I felt like SUCH a sleezeball. I'm convinced they thought I was a smack addict!!!!
Oh god....I hope my trainer doesn't find out. She'll be forcing me to do 100 sit-ups as punishment.
