sneaking in to use my sister's keyboard

i'm home early today. it was a very conscious choice for me to get here before anybody else so that i could sneak into my sister's room and use her keyboard. fuck pointillism.

i've been working on this song for the first part of the week and it's kind of proggy and weird - lots of guitar effects and a big open space in the middle. i'm going to record a toilet flushing this afternoon, too. i think it will sound really cool if i slow the tape down as far as it can go. it will be this slow water rushing effect - a good backdrop for guitars and keyboards.

it might seem obvious that i should just ask to use the keyboard, but i've done that before and i get weird, possessive responses. i'm breaking some kind of unwritten rule that i don't understand. whatever. i'll do it when she's not around, then. people are very silly creatures, really.

i just need to get a few quick chord stabs in. i think i can bounce the fade later. i've only got an hour, so i need to run and do it..
