THE WARDROBE IS FINISHED!

Yay!

Finished watching Hellraiser III, it was excellently crap :) I love things that reek of the 90s. You could tell from the awful font at the very start that you were about to watch some Quality.

Also, this evening, I bought iSequence for the iPod Touch (/iPhone), made a little tune on it in about 20 mins. It's good fun! Another ace toy to make musical sketches with, which I can develop into full songs later.

DeathBoy - Hypnobeat (sketch)

As I say, this was less than a half hour's noodling, uses 5 channels (the app only has 5!), and just 4 patterns, with me riding the volume levels to give it a bit of song texture / bring elements in and out.


(not my video, but a good demo)

The built in soft synth sounds are good, lots of decent lead synths, pads, basslines, etc, and some meaty drum kit noises.

In terms of sequencing, it resembles a tracker with a horizontal time graph.

So yar. Pleasant ending to a basically shit day, thanks to new software toys and awful horror movies.

Just waiting up to see if kirsten appears before I go to bed.

I shall read the next Polity book by Neal Asher, as I just finished the 1st one, Prador Moon, and quite enjoyed it.

Night night, ballbags!

You go to a Morrissey gig and you throw a bottle at a 50 year old man who was taken off stage with a heart problem just the other week.

And then you boo the fact that he stops the show.

ah, Liverpool, how I love thee.

I've just got back from a visit to the Royal London Hospital. It has been a strange visit, a mixture of overwhelming relief on so many different levels, mixed with so many different emotions. Most of all .... but this is not my story to tell

Done the bigger part of my chores.

House is tidy.

Feel a bit shitty though.

No Corben. No Kirsten.

Nobody around.

Suddenly seized by a complete lack of interest in doing anything.

Movies and computer games and books and all the things I do to fill my mind up all become eventually quite hollow, because really, all they do is stop the gears in my head from grinding at each other.

They're fuck-all replacement for the company of loved-ones.

Blew out offers of company this weekend because I have to catch up on the bloody day job, which at the moment is the only reason for not sliding myself into the cosy bottom of a bottle.

I shall get some work out of the way. Then I can do that, at least.

I feel contagious somehow.

I try to talk to people and they find other things to do, or places to be. I normally know when i'm in the kind of mood that drives people away from me, and this ain't it. So I don't know what's wrong with me right now. I don't feel horrific, just a bit numb. Possibly the anti-depressants have flat-lined me a bit.

I seem to spend a lot of time staring out of windows at the moment.

Man, I fucking hate sundays.

Fields of the Nephilim, Anathema and My Dying Bride are playing at the NEC tonight. I have unexpectedly ended up with a spare ticket. If you're interested in coming, please comment here or give me a call.

Today, I have a sore throat (ill + smoking) a hangover (clever boy) a fucked up back (from being ACTION DAD with corben and vaulting a tree in the park), something closely resembling the flu and it's my day to do fucking house chores.

I'm going to look pretty ugly in a washer-woman outfit, I can tells ya.

Oh, mercy.

Load mp3 player with comedy. Put on headphones and trousers. Get this shit done. Go in bath. Go back to bed and watch more Hellraiser movies, possibly play Fallout 3.

I can do this.

.. Happy Birthday to lproven, moomintroll and, wherever they may be these days, odisea_l and nounou!! Hope you have a lovely one!

Waiting for first pupil of the day, while watching the Remembrance ceremonies. Yes, I do think we shouldn't forget. In a way, I am in the world because of WWII; it didn't kill my dad but it did scar his soul badly. But I perhaps shouldn't dwell on that train of thought.

Outside, the line of Australians in day-glo tights and fancy dress queuing to go to Church is unusually small. Just a few dozen people, mostly with back-packs. I need more coffee; pupil is late..

OK.

So. I seem to have a plus one for this previously mentioned London Based event for the final night on 11th Nov.

Upping the game slightly from it might be worth a tenner to it might be worth getting in for free.

First dibs goes to Nils if he`s available, given that I shamefully missed him being interested in the first place. Nonetheless, express an interest now please, first come first served!

My glorious, beautiful city always looks so amazing from the air, and I enjoy night landings because the streetlights are like fires.

Tonight, though, flying in over a thousand firework displays I saw those lights dance and explode and leap from bonfire to bonfire.

Of all the firework displays I have seen, nothing came close to watching Guy Fawkes night from above.

I am awestruck.
