Owie owie owie

Just as I was gathering up my coffee, breakfast, jacket, etc., and preparing to walk out the door to work, I felt a muscle in my neck (right side, down into the line of the shoulder) seize and cramp.  Now I can't turn my head to the right more than 10 degrees or so. 

Made driving an interesting chore, especially considering that 291 to Liberty is a collection of hills and the gravel trucks were out in force.  Oh, and fog, too, the entire way, with visibility less than a half mile. 

I've been trying to rub the kink out, but it's deep and I can't reach it.  Waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in and hoping the anti-inflammatory will do some good.

Arrived in my office to find that DataGuy bought me a present.  It was wrapped and waiting at my desk, a collection of flavored instant cappuccino mixes.  *shudder*  Flavored.  Instant.  His heart is in the right place, and I didn't let on that his choice wasn't the best he could have made (I don't do flavors; and I own an espresso machine so mixes are unnecessary.) 

I'm dead tired today, but hoping my large-ish breakfast will eventually translate into energy.  Got caroling tonight, a small party with friends (yes, I'm taking my guitar, although I don't know any Christmas carols), that I'm really looking forward to. 

The Willie's Wenches demo is proceeding well.  K & K did the rough edit on the "previews" portion.  I came in behind, tightened up the edit; added sound effects (ADR and foley is actually kind of fun*); finally, some visual tweaking with the color balance and saturation and it looks really sharp.  Funny as hell, too.

* the real challenge is matching the room characteristics so it sounds like you were actually there.  Sonar is my friend.  So is Audacity.

Four day weekend coming up.  That's a "yea-in-a-box" right there.
