Studio work is DONE!
Last night was the final night for tracking on Kardia’s two new songs. Everything sounds amazing and it would have been difficult to produce something that I would have been happier with. Now that tracking is done, we will head to Rust Belt Studios in early March to start mixing and mastering the tracks.
Haven't been here in a while...
Trying to come up with a way to re-purpose this site…

No better word to describe today than... "shit." ...
I really don’t even have much to write. This was probably one of the most draining days I have ever had - ever. Not only that - now I have to listen to a co-worker talk non-stop about the housing market, and how he is going to leave Toyota and make a lot more money working for the government, oh yeah, and how he has property in Florida and he is going to build on it. My advice to him: do...
A good day?...
Today was pay day! Heading to Blue Nile (Ethiopian restaurant) in Ferndale this evening with Leyna. She’s never had Ethiopian food before, so I hope that she enjoys it as much as I do. There is a chance that I will meet her parents when I pick her up.
This afternoon, I am getting a haircut so that I look decent tonight and then heading out of work at 3pm. That should give me plenty of...

Awesome
I just received a really nice “thank you” email from one of our General Managers. Made my day (evening).

Dinner Coupons
This morning, on the sports radio station that I listen to, they were talking about dating. One of the topics was if using a coupon for dinner on a date is acceptable. One of the callers said that his second date was at a Mongolian Barbaque and when the bill came - his date pulled a coupon out of her purse. Now they are married. I found that quite funny and also very telling. If a woman does...

Resumé
I am almost finished with my revamped resumé and cover letter. A good friend was helping me out with it and mentioned that I should have some sort of online portfolio. Keep in mind, I am not an artist (I work in IT), so what should I include? Also, where should I host it, what should it look like, how should it function, etc?… Any ideas? Anyone?
New Mix
Okay, I just made a new mix, and I love it. Here is the track list:
1. Doves by Heavens 2. Wonderwall by Ryan Adams (It’s a cover of the Oasis song.) 3. Carry Me Ohio by Sun Kil Moon 4. The D In Detroit by The Anniversary 5. Hold On To Yourself by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds 6. Heart by Stars 7. Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World 8. Can You Tell by Ra Ra Riot 9. Wait by The New...

Meat...
I just had my first meat of the year. It was delicious chicken and bacon on a Bistro Club sandwich at Nordstrom Bistro. Streak ended.
Honestly, it’s probably a good thing, seeing as I have lost 20 pounds in two months on a vegetarian diet.
My God...
…I think that I have run out of websites to visit this evening…
Also...
My name is not actually Frederik Olafsen.

New Beat
I’ll start out by trying to describe myself and why I have created this blog - but probably not in that particular order. In fact, this post probably won’t have much order at all since my mind can be a bit tangential at times (now is one of those times).
I’ve done the blog thing before - through Blogger, my own hosted site, a friend’s hosted site, Facebook (I think),...
