I take it back

A couple of weeks ago I said something about, um, if Idon't have anything interesting posted here, it's probably because the interesting stuff is something I can't tell you about. It's lies. I've run out of money, and work is very busy, so I've done nothing even remotely interesting all week - in terms of meeting up with people, going to events or performances, even having interesting conversations, as I've been too busy at work to think of anything imaginative to say. I've found some very exciting spreadsheet functions (ones that count the characters in a cell, nested IFs, IFANDs, SUMIFANDs, arrays and so forth) but they don't make exciting conversation.

On the upside, this weekend I'm recording some music (covers - I've never been able to write songs) with Jim, hopefully including acoustic versions of Back in Black and (in the lounge style) Master of Puppets. There's a birthday party Rob mentioned, and a leaving do on Friday evening, for one of the drivers at work.

My aunt says you should never wish away time, because you can't get it back. She has a good point. So I'm not wishing it was tomorrow and the weekend was already here. Instead, I'm looking forward to another day of exciting Excel functions, followed by some focused practice on those lounge-style rock songs this evening.

Immigrant Song - lounge style?

I tried it last night, but the 'aaaAAAAAaaaaaaah-aaaaah!' thing doesn't really lend itself to Tony Bennett stylings.
