Exhausted.  I followed the nutrition plan Steve laid out for us.  For breakfast I split one egg-white with Alan.  We were allowed to eat it over one piece of dry, whole-grain toast.  He made us smoothies which he said were packed with all the protein we'll need.  They were not too bad if you like a lot of wheat grass.  A little bitter. 

After that we did some light stretching and then the workout began.  It was brutal.  During a set of Thrust Reach-ups Alan completely lost it and vomited.  Steve cursed him for being out of shape and made him clean it up.  However, my heart really went out to Aaron.  I tried to intervene and explain to Steve that not everyone can do pull-ups, but he shot me a steely glance.  It was intimidating.  Finally, he let Jay and I assist Aaron and the ordeal was over.  Glenn was the super-star today.  He did 18 pull-ups in less than 60 seconds.  Between each one Steve would slap his stomach with a long shaft of bamboo.  He said it tightens the core and somehow it helps you play a little tighter to a click track. 

After the workout Steve insisted that we meditate.  He said he has found his "Chi" and that he's going to make damn well sure that we do to.  After, we got our post-workout smoothie.  More wheatgrass.  Jay waited until Steve wasn't looking and poured his out.  "Fuck this!" he whispered.  Finally we got the drums under way.  Glenn pounded through a third of the songs and before we knew it we had some solid drum tracks.  Then Steve and James (the engineer), spent some time cleaning up the drums and looking at porn.  Unfortunately they downloaded a virus and we lost the entire day's work.  "Jai guru deva om" said Steve, "Nothins' gonna change my world," and then he left abruptly.  We stood around staring at one another, unsure of how to proceed.  Ultimately we decided to eat our dinner: Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette and Hummus on whole-grain tortillas. 

Later.  Steve returned with a new attitude.  He said the VoC has been dicking around too much and wasting too much time.  He said he was taking charge of this project.  We got back to work and by midnight we made up for the computer mishap.
