So I’m doing this whole write and record an album in a month thing. I’ve spent the last several days trying not to think about music in any detail—trying not to cheat, you see—and today is the day that I can start putting stuff down on paper.

So I’ve got the beginnings of a few songs, ranging from general harmonic idea to verses and chorus. Working titles of three songs that have some bit of lyrics so far:

• I Spend All My Free Time on the Internet
• To All the Girls that Broke My Heart Without Trying To
• When You Get a Girl

I could knock out rough demos of those at this point, but I think I’ll sit down this weekend to scratch them out. I’m pretty excited about all three of them, actually; now I just need to, you know, think of like NINE MORE SONGS OUT OF THE BLUE. Nuts. Craziness.

Night!
