What started out as a mild fever and sore throat turned into an abscess in my throat. I was sick for about a week and in terrible pain. When I swallowed it was like swallowing a spiky basketball and when i wasn’t swallowing it was like my throat was on fire. It swelled up so much that it felt like the size of pencil. I could barely talk and even breathing wasn’t as good as it use to be. I had a very painful experience trying to eat a banana. I went to the doctor a few times and got a bunch of meds and now I seem to be doing ok though so things are lookin’ up.

I was able to add another song to the done pile last night. It always seems like this album will take forever to finish, but I actually was gathering kind of a status update and it’s not so bad. Turns out the overall remastering process is somewhere in the ballpark of 50%. A lot of crazy stuff happened in the first half of this year including a 2 month DoD detour. So as long as I don’t have a bunch more things getting in the way the second half should go much faster. Especially since the first half was so very research heavy. Lots of reading and experimentation really slowed the first half down. And the new headphones are making things go a lot faster too because it’s so much easier to make things sound right on a variety of systems (man, i’ve brought that up a lot). Anyway, things are looking good. I’ll be glad to get this album done and out of the way so I can start working on new projects I have on the back burner.

On an unrelated note, I got to finish off a collection yesterday. I was missing the box for Dragon Warrior (NES) and it just came from ebay thus completing my Dragon Warrior/Quest collection. I took some pictures to commemorate it. Here and here. I’m in the middle of playing through the first game and it’s a blast. It’s ridiculously simple. A one-man rpg. Good Times.
