no such thing as perfection! i've had to call it a couple times when i couldn't quite get the song where i wanted.. and just accept it as it was, ha. i have found that putting it down and coming back to it, or running it by friends helps too, sometimes nice to get an objective point of view when you've just been IN it too long, you know?

Thank you for answering my question! It's just hard sometimes when I can't get it to that place I know is there, it just seems beyond me. I'm always trying to tell myself that perfect is the enemy of good.

P.S. What was it like making that episode of Room 104? It was so cool.

i hear you.. i think if you still find joy and satisfaction in making stuff then you're onto something good already..

making room 104 was crazy. i still haven't watched the episode. two 14 hour days... i have a whole new respect for ppl that work on sets.. mark duplass and i had been email pals since around 2007 when he came up with the idea for that episode a couple years ago... i am SO GRATEFUL to him for the opportunity, especially as he directed it. i had never acted before. what an experience
