these days the blog is pretty much dead. i have too many little side projects going and even tried starting another blog about philosophy but got again distracted. ah well. here's a few quick updates:
I got engaged! but you probably already knew that. :)
up until yesterday we were going to get married in thailand but am now thinking about australia..a winery wedding anyone? i'll keep you posted on that one. one of the little side projects i've started is web design and i've been half-heartedly trying to make a website from scratch but it's much much harder than i thought, so i might have to go with a tweaked wordpress template again.
i got new jobs! working for a variety of unis in melbourne, doing what i do best (on a pro level anyway).
i made a company! celtsmelbourne.com.au doing some freelance tutoring. being your own boss is really quite fun.
i had visitors! mirdad, mehlkelm and thom wicki all came to visit (but not together). it's been really nice to have some fellow old-worldlers coming over and saying hi.
that's probably the biggest ones really. apart from all that, i've been trying to get my music making back up. one purchase that as facilitated this recent surge is my mpd32. so now i've been trying to pen some songs, mesing around with reason again, analysing songs of artists i like (the shins, the weakerthans, etc) and reading a lot about gear that would be nice to have. i found out that there's a condition called G.A.S. or Gear Acquisition Syndrome and i think i may be a sufferer in recovery. back when i was a student, i would spend all my money on guitars, synths, recording gear and what not. but these days it's pretty well controlled, merged finances and all, so that's good. i did just get a copy of logic express off ebay, though, apple's recording software which is supposed to be really good. getting shipped from the uk and should be here in about a week i hope, so hopefully i'll be able to tear myself away from the internet and get some music done.
well, that's pretty much it for now. hopefully, it will be less than 8 months until the next post. cheers
