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!!
