It's been quite a while since I last wrote here (in fact, it's a month exactly, ooooooooh). As usual, that's due to the fact that there's been a lot going on, which is something of an ironic situation. Well, for the most part anyway - I've also been my typical lazy self. Woop ( Read more... )

Thought I should write a lil' entry before I bugger off to the land of frogs tomorrow - I'm spending Christmas in my family's house, slap bang in the middle (heh, what a great phrase) of France. Just me, mum, dad and Harry. Oh, and I guess I'll see the crazy neighbours every so often as well. However, it doesn't seem like we're going to see that ( Read more... )

Isn't it funny how I only just started feeling Christmassy whilst listening to this album? Why is that? It's not like any of the lyrical themes relate directly to the holiday season. I didn't feel at all festive whilst in Leeds, and I've only felt a slight pang of Christmas cheer since I've been home, but as soon as I put on a bit of Arcade Fire I ( Read more... )

So, it's my birthday today. It's been quite good so far, considering I wasn't particularly looking forward to it. I mean, what other day of the year am I going to receive a whole cake in the post? A chocolate and pecan cake (candles included) to be precise! It looks quite buff. Thank you Mrs Gill's Cakes of Dorset (haha) and most importantly, ( Read more... )

Fauré's Requiem really makes journal writing a lot more dramatic, even if I'm essentially only doing this as procrastination. I really should do a bit of work, as all my deadlines are creeping up, but you know me - I'll do it last minute as usual ( Read more... )

My sleeping pattern is slowly returning to normal - I'm starting to feel tired before 4am now. Yay ( Read more... )

Woe, woe - why are the drying machines here so bad? My washing would have been done hours ago if it weren't for the bane of my life that is damp clothes. Oy ( Read more... )

My composition is finally done! Did I say I had to compose a 3 minute song in a popular music style? No? Well I did. And it's done. Pretty much. I would have liked to add more but my computer is frustratingly slow, so much so that I wanted to smash it to pieces at times. Also I'm lazy and it's due in tomorrow. I mean, later on today. I just say ( Read more... )

There's been a drought of updating recently, I know. I will actually write something proper soon, but for now this entry is simply stating the following: I can't sleep simply because I can't get over how fucking amazing Squarepusher's new album is*. Of course, I shouldn't have expected any less, but it's just so good, and so different to anything ( Read more... )

I've slept through too many lectures this week. Not good. I don't know what happens - usually I'm playing bass (as quietly as I can) late at night and before I know it, it's gone 3am. Then I sleep right through my alarm. However, my flatmates have come up with a solution to this problem - Crazy Anne will scream at me when it's time to get up, not ( Read more... )
