The decision maker? I’m not sure!

Well it’s been snowing, which is very odd indeed for this time of year. Luckily we bought some ice grippers a few weeks ago to put on our shoes so we’re safe walking about in it.

My girlfriend’s not been well for the last few days, I think she has what I had a week or so ago. Not nice. Flu symptoms with vomiting. Yum.

With sickness and the weather we’ve both kept a low profile this weekend and stayed indoors most of the time.

I did some research yesterday into time philosophy and ended up looking into Buddhism. The religion kept popping up in other things I was looking at so I’ve decided to look into the existential theories of it.

We shall see.

We’ve had trouble with our housemate as they’ve claimed to have moved out but isn’t giving us a forwarding address because I think they’ve committing benefit fraud and doesn’t want to let the DWP know they’ve moved.

Let’s just say they’ve found out another way.

I’m not feeling particularly creative recently, although I’ve had a surge of interest in science fiction. I’ve just finished watching the two Matrix sequels and am still not sure whether I like them or not.

I need a change of scenery, methinks.

Oh well.

Christmas is coming and I haven’t bought a thing. We had a night of seasonal music the other day as a preview of what’s to come next month. I got quite into it. I do love the Andrew Sisters’ Christmas record. Classic.

Might go to bed soon, but I’m not sure.

Should stick on another film, but I’m not sure what to watch. Any suggestions?

Right, decision time...

Live coverage, college and healthy foliage

So… what’s been going on?

Well, the open mic was fun but, judging by the pictures and recordings of the event, we sounded and looked terrible. Oh well, it’s all good practice and experience.

I went away for my college assessment and absolutely loved it. I’ve not felt so excited in months. I had lots of interviews to sit through in an attempt to impress people (although I don’t think I needed to) so by the end of the two days I was knackered. A few days later I got a call telling me I’d been successful and yesterday I received the confirmation by post. So… yay!! I’ll be going away for six months to do Music Technology. Joy. I’ll hate being away from my girlfriend but I need to have some direction in life and get some support with my ever decreasing eyesight.

So basically I’ve got a month and a half of sitting on my bum doing pretty much nothing. It’ll be the same as what I’ve been doing for the past two years, but this time I’ll know it’s ok as there will be something productive and educational at the end of it.

Fears? Well my girlfriend has been making lots of friends recently (in preparation for me going to college? I’m not sure) and I’m starting to feel a little redundant. I hope she’s not slipping away from me. We spend so little time together now and she has so many interests outside of our relationship that I’m not sure she needs me anymore.

We shall see, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.

I’m trying to eat a little healthier and have started making a grated carrot, diced apple and beetroot and tuna, erm, “shmush”, which is proper tasty and my body seems to like the goodness contained within.

I’m feeling a little despondent about music at the moment… which isn’t good when you consider I’m about to go on a music course. I just think my tastes are in transition. I need to gut my iPod and put some “new” stuff on there. I’m getting into Rufus Wainwright’s first album, which is weird. I don’t know why I’m liking it so much, I guess I’m just finally warming to it’s upbeat and innocent piano antics.

I’ve written a few new songs, which feel good. I might try recording this week.

Right, onwards and upwards!!
