brisk breeze coming down off of the volcano (great for the surfers
down at the beach) and this cool air feels great, considering it looks
like it's going to be sunny, hot, and humid today. This is an
unexpected stark contrast to last night, which was full of rain
(imagine that). At one point we got almost an inch and a half of rain
in less than an hour. Of course, at the time, I was trying to record
vocals for a new song I've written. You know how loud rain is when
you're in a tent? Well, it's not quite that bad in the yurt, but it
was certainly loud enough to find its way on to the recordings. I
tried using a gate to remove the background noise, but it didn't
really work. It's nice and clean when I'm not singing, but as soon as
I open my mouth, it sounds like my teeth are all rolling around loose
in my head. Further motivation to get that vocal isolation booth built
this winter, I suppose.
Beyond that, all is great here. Market days are going great. We nearly
always sell out, and we have many regulars who buy once or twice a
week. I hope to put a whole blog up about that soon.
Batches 2 & 3 of my pineapple swipe look to be ready for bottling.
That's always exciting (free booze). Our neighbor Jesse brought down a
large bag of yellow lilikoi (passion fruit) the other day. I'm
thinking of blending it with some of the purple lilikoi growing wild
on the property, and trying to make some lilikoi swipe. The neighbors
aren't convinced that it'll turn out well, but I think it'll be just
fine (read: free booze).
Last update: I've acquired a webcam, and have been using Skype a fair
bit lately. While I haven't found any women willing to take off their
clothes and dance around for me, I also haven't been asked to strip
down and dance around either, so I'm considering that to be breaking
even. But what it has been is a very nice way to stay in touch with
friends and family, including some quality screen-to-screen time with
my young nephew. So if you'd like to chat, look me up on Skype. If
you want to see me dance around naked, get your credit card ready and
go to www.theworstthingever.a.k.a.camerongonewild.com
