Producing Instrumental In Nu Town Studios – Mad Chaos: May 12, 1998

Reading Ralph Magazine On Train To Sydney

Lyssa woke up Monday morning, had her shower, put on her makeup and then I escorted her to the bus stop.  We missed the first bus as we were hurried.  Then we waited half an hour for the next one.  I gave Lyssa a kiss.  She jumped on the bus.  Then I was on my way home.

Back at home I got ready to leave the house myself.  Putting my clothes on I headed out the door.  Like Lyssa, being rushed, I also missed my bus.  Not being able to wait I started walking to Campbelltown.  

Once in Campbelltown I took out the money from the bank and then caught my train.  I bought a copy of ‘Ralph’ the magazine and read it on the fast train to the City.  The magazine wasn’t up to my expectations.  I didn’t like it, is what I’m trying to say.  

In the City I caught a train to Newtown and hurried my way to the Studio.

Nu Town Studios Instrumental Production

Arriving at the door I found it open and walked in.  Up the stairs I traveled.  To my amazement I couldn’t find anyone up there.  I checked all the rooms.  In my head thought I could steal something from there.  Walking back down the stairs I noticed Gavyn down there.  We had a little word.

Leaving my things in Nu Town Studios I headed off to buy a drink as I waited for Jessie to arrive.  Walking back 15 minutes later she was there having a chat with Gavyn.  When I arrived I had a little listen to one of Jessie’s CDs.  Then we were on our way on my CD.

We spent four odd hours listening to my song.  She told me she had made a couple of variations to my music.  There were a couple that I didn’t like in it that we changed but other things to change are the tempo of the song, which she increased.  All in all, the song was mad.  

I loved how she added a couple of different variations to the high hat.  I also loved how my song sounded great with the guitar and drums, then moved on to add strings.  Then on the chorus you get bass guitar right in your face.  The bass guitar really brings out the better parts of the songs with its low bass.

I didn’t really get to flow how I wanted to that day.  That’s because I’m not really taken that seriously at this point.  Jessie was real nice to me though.  At the end of the day we had a great sounding piece of music with the intro already started on it.  

We got to use the Vocoder for about an hour and started on the wind part at the start of the song.  I had a talk to Gavyn about the cost to my project.  As I paid them, I had the song recorded in four different ways onto a tape before heading home at 4:30pm.

Busting A Girl Checking Me Out

Lyssa would have been home about now.  We were supposed to be heading for Campbelltown.  The train from Newtown to Central was taking forever, but it finally came.  

At Central it was hard to find a payphone with no person already on it, but I finally found one.  Jumping on the payphone I gave Lyssa a call to tell her the situation and how I was coming home from the City.  She was alright with that.  I jumped on the next available train.

As I jumped on the train I noticed it was so crowded, I had to stand.  All the way until Minto Station I had to remain standing.  It was hard on my feet.  There was this girl that was also standing that I glanced at once or twice.  She noticed me looking both times.  Then I thought to myself I won’t look any more.  I could sense she then started glancing at me.  As I turned to look I busted her.  That happened a couple of times.  

When the girl on the train would look and get busted she would put her head down and smile or face away.  It was funny how we kept glancing over at each other, even though I didn’t really fancy her.  Her laughs were fake though, something I would have done back in my days to get someone to recognize I liked them.  She jumped off at Minto.  

Before Leumeah came up Kiley and Kieran came down from upstairs.  Joining them, I walked out.  They gave me a lift to Lyssa’s house.  We were talking about the seafood at the Novotel and how it’s all you can eat.  I thanked them, as they dropped me off at Lyssa’s house.  

Lonestar Dinner With Lyssa

Lyssa answered the door.  I walked in and said hello to her mum.  On the way to Lyssa’s house I thought I would take her out since I now had some extra money.  I ran the idea of Lonestar through her.  She loved the idea.  Lyssa’s mum gave us a lift there.

Once there we walked in through the doors and were seated in a booth.  Not long after that we decided to order the regular but with something different.  I ordered some sauteed mushrooms and Lyssa ordered some sauteed onions.  

We sat there in Lonestar and had a big feed and talked our way through the night over some delicious food.  We were served drinks by a redheaded friend of Pavlina’s.  She said hello to Lyssa, smiled and then gave me a look.  Deciding to splurge on the night I also bought some dessert for us, even though we were more than full after the main meal.  I always end up eating a lot more than Lyssa does when we go out to eat.  Lyssa doesn’t eat much.  But because I don’t like wasting food I tend to eat the rest.

Playing The Peanut & Can Game

After dessert was served, we finished up.  As usual I had the most.  We received our bill.  Then we had an hour to spare to catch our bus so we thought we would take our time.  Hence, a new game was invented, which involved peanuts and their bucket.  Taking a handful each, Lyssa and I took turns at tossing peanuts into its can.  The obvious aim of the game was to see who could get the most peanuts in each go.  This went on for ages, as Lyssa and I had great fun laughing away every time we would miss and the mess would fall on the floor.  

The game was over when there were absolutely no peanuts left to throw into the bucket.  Every turn we would make it harder by either moving the bucket further away or crunching the bucket to make it a harder aim.  In the end there was only one peanut left.  Lyssa and I took a turn each.  I failed to get mine in at the third turn and so Lyssa won the game.

In all this time we were making a substantial amount of noise every time the peanut would hit the bucket or land inside it.  As we laughed our way through the game the waitresses couldn’t help notice.  Some laughed with us but the majority were getting angry because they probably had to clean it up, we were just having fun.  As a result of that it took us a fair while to get service so we could pay the bill.

In the end we ended up jumping up and waiting at the door until we were approached.  Even then we had to wait ten minutes and weren’t given our change.  Another girl walked up to us.  Then after asking a simple question, walked over to the register and gave our change to us, simple as that.  Lyssa and I were late for catching our bus.

Snuggle Up With Bloated Stomachs

Luckily Lyssa and I made it in time and jumped on the bus headed for my house.  Our stomachs were so full that I couldn’t stand up properly.  I could feel the fibers in my stomach stretching.  

At home we let our stomachs relax by watching some television.  Then some time later went to sleep after Lyssa read her book and we had a little conversation.

As we lay there, Lyssa let out a little giggle.  After some hassling words she told me she giggled because she was horny.  I soon fixed that problem up, but because Lyssa was so tired last night nothing really happened for her.  

A good thing about Lyssa is she doesn’t fake anything.  When it isn’t coming it isn’t coming.  Frustrated, I tried to pleasure her in different ways, but in all times we were so close but so far.  Eventually we gave up, blaming tiredness.  Setting my alarm we went to sleep together.
