I'm having some fucked up sleep. Couldn't sleep last night because I was overtly nervous and worried about the door knocking today. I guess I shouldn't have. Out of the seven agencies I went a-knocking, I only managed to get hold of one person. Which sounded optimistic when he said they were just looking at staffing, and he sounded very ( Read more... )

Subject is a line from XXXHolic S2, an anime I'm following. I thought it had a nice ring to it, but it's probably more poignant in the scene: A spirit floats in the air in front of a cherry tree, and she rises into the sky as cherry blossoms fall languidly. She's at peace and moves on ( Read more... )

Without realizing it, we may be spending precious time and energy engaging in friendships that let us down, rather than cultivating ones that support and nourish us along our ( Read more... )

Some funky programs I discovered for the Mac: Sticky Windows shrinks your open windows into tabs when you drag your window to the edge of your screen. WindowShadeX returns the functionality of the older Mac OS that lets you minimise your windows into shades when you double-click on their title bars.

I had a frustrating start to the day when I found out my next potential interview is gonna be after 30th June. That's so far away, sigh. And I'm waiting on another one hopefully this week.

And that leads me to the thought, that all of these pieces start off in my own mind, in my heart, and I do my best at finding ways to express them with materials, and it always feels really crude, it's always a ( Read more... )

Mad video of a remix of Radiohead's Nude.

Radiohead held an online contest to remix "Nude" from their album - "In Rainbows" This was quite a difficult task for all the electronic musicians that entered, as Nude is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm. Most music that's played in clubs is around 120bpm and usually 4/4 timing. It's near impossible to mix a ( Read more... )

And quietly in the deepening cold, I'm into my third week of Melbourne. The job hunt is slow, and I'm not sure if this is the way it should be. The last time I went job hunting like that, it took me 9 agonising, depressing months (recorded somewhere in here) to land the right job ( Read more... )
