I'd just like to make a note of some of the new things that are happening these days, for the sole purpose of having a record of when they happened:
1. My second job (or rather, my first job working with kids) begins again in earnest this week! Fucking FANTASTIC! Now that I have two jobs I can stop being so poor.
2. Once again, I dyed my hair.
3. After much procrastination, I finally "acquired" and installed a music sequencing program, in this case, I got Propellerhead Reason 3.0. God only knows why I was so lazy to get into it, as creating music is for me one of the most satisfying feelings in life. Who knows, if I make a song that I can confidently believe is not bad, I may post it. But not yet. Haha.
4. A friend of mine has moved into my house for 3 weeks, breaking up the monotony of living here by myself. I just wish he'd stop flashing his arse! :|
5. Not that I'm particularly interested in sport, but last night Australia was playing South Africa in the final of the 5-game one-day series. Australia batted first, getting a World Record of 434 runs in 50 overs - a phenomenal score that beats the old record of 398. There was surely no chance that South Africa would get even close. But lo and behold, they start smashing balls all over the place, and got to 435 with one ball left in the game! This is unheard of!!! We held the world record for a total of ONE innings! I don't really care much about sport but that is by far the most exciting game of cricket I've ever seen.
6. Finally, my isp (iinet) has upgraded my connection to "up to 24,000kbps" with 20gb of downloads. That, plus the cost of the line rental (the 'bundled' deal) only sets me back $83 a month. Not bad at all.

I think Reason would be way over my head. Perhaps if I ever "grow out" of the simplicity offered by Garageband I'll check it out...
And I for one would be very interested to hear what you come up with!
Well, I'm still just beginning. But one must constantly recognise the importance of a catchy melody! My inspiration for simple-yet-effective songs is coming from The Beatles, actually. They were truly amazing, basically making a template, a recipe perhaps, for how to make a good song. Very very good.
