||UPDATE||: The song I'm working on is pretty much done. It feels awesome to actually get something done, even if I'm being horribly slow. Currently working on a guitar something to go with it which is going fairly smooth. Yay! Now let's hope I can get this done and recorded before uni starts again.

I'm alive. Still. Yeah.

My life has been mildly overturned over the past few months. My day was one of disappointment and excellently retarded miscommunication. And you know what? I don't care - I'm doing great. The life seems to be getting back on the tracks quite nicely and I'll be back on top before you can say HEYYOUWERETHATGUYWHOMESSEDUPLASTYEARRIGHT.

I haven't been as productive as I'd have liked to, but there are updates! My current project is scrapbooked at . What I like more is that I've finally made some progress in a song that I started on, uh, two and a half years back. I've been utterly stuck with that one for ages because the only thing that occurred to me sounded _horrible_, but now I've written two more lines that are pretty neat and will probably get me to finish it.

As for drawing: sorry, I don't feel it's going to happen any time soon. I'm surrounded by amazing artwork - both here and in webcomics that I read - and that has the habit of removing all of my confidence when I try to practice. So far I've drawn a recognizable picture of the head of my guitar, and that took a couple of hours to get right.

I'll leave you with a music recommendation. You might remember Chumbawamba - the group that once had a hit, in '97, with the pretty amazing Tubthumping. "I get not down, but I get up again - you're never gonna keep me down!". They've been active since 1982 (old farts they are by now, yes) and are still going strong, although their music has changed quite a bit over the years. They still have the same mildly ironic anarcho-punk lyrics, but their music is, well, soft. Suggested albums are "A Singsong & A Scrap", "UN" and "The Boy Bands Have Won".

"Some set their heart on a rocking chair, the better to sleep out the day
but I'm looking for a reason to kick and scream - I don't want to fade away"
-- Chumbawamba, Fade Away (I Don't Want To)


Love & kisses to those who feel like some and shits & giggles to all,
