Day 71 (3-12-11)



I packed a good deal of the master bedroom and bathroom as well as Liam's room today.  There is still a lot to do, but I think I made good progress.  I was supposed to get up early and head to Hell's Kitchen for the 5th annual 'Kegs & Eggs' celebration, which is nothing more than an excuse to drink green beer and eat green eggs first thing in the morning... and then see how long you last.  But alas, I didn't make it.  Oh well.  I can tell you this though: had I come home piss drunk at 2 in the afternoon, nothing would have gotten packed, lol.  So I had that going for me.

I've been wanting to play with Tiffen's DFX 2 gel light plugins for ever.  The problem is that I could never find an image that they worked well with.  (There are about 245 light gels to choose from, by the way).  So for giggles I experimented on the above crop of my acoustic - and to my surprise, the overall oval-ish shape of the light happened to size right up with the opening in the guitar.  I found it very difficult to settle on a design choice (the French doors, bay window, blinds and a peace sign were all in the running) but the above star burst seemed to work well.  I like how some of the light accents certain areas on the strings, which make them seem alive almost.  Hope you like it.
