NoCD
ready?...so I'm cleverly going to use that title to cover two subjects.
watch:
I've been recording like a madman of late. I counted, and I have 21 new tunes, never heard by the world, that I've got on my hard drive, plus another 20 I'd think that I haven't yet recorded, plus all of the stuff I wrote for my bands. Anyway, so the plan is to release an album sometime in the next year, recording maybe 15 tracks and releasing 4 or 5 of them for free on the internet, with the other 10 or 11 available only on my CD - pique peoples' interest, so-to-speak. But so I've also been considering going the route of not releasing anything on CD at all... only on the internet. Just unsure what the merits and drawbacks are of both options...
As well, some time ago our front door got mistakenly left unlocked, which, because of our shitty latch system, meant that it actually blew open while we were out. When we got back, Tigger and Roo - who are indoor cats (!) - were sitting on the front porch waiting for us to get home. Ever since then I've been insane about locking the front door. Most days I'll actually get into my car and close the door, then immediately get out again, run back to the front door, check that it's locked again, and then drive away. A few times I've actually driven back from a few blocks away to check it, and worst of all I've even called our neighbours - from work, from a restaurant, from a movie - to ask if they could please check it for me. They now think I'm totally crazy.
I don't think I technically have a disorder per se, and I don't think it's exactly complusive, so I think all I have is an obsession with making sure the door's locked: something overpowering that makes me unsure about whether or not I actually did it, or if maybe I'm just remembering doing it the day or time before, and that makes me check and re-check it obsessively.
(see it?)
