here it cuh-hums!

I have no idea what I'm always on about. I sink deep, and then I bubble over. I will be even tempered for good stretches of time, then... *pop*. I'm gone. And people will ask me how I am, how I'm doing... and I have no idea how to answer that. I'm alive. I can talk and hear and see and move. I have good things, and I have bad things in my life. I am both lucky, and cursed. Look at me, a mixed bag of crap! At least, no matter what, my humour always wins out. The worst tragedies can befall me, and I'll still crack a joke, in the midst.

Reviewing more music for Interzone. I'll get back to Interzone details in the post following this one... but let's just say, in cs eyou haven't picked this up from my other posts about the upcoming R2 event, I'm nervous. The reason for my nerves being in an uproar is that I'll be spinning music that's a bit different than what I usually spin, and in a venue that might not be as forgiving. This is the DJ acid test for me, in a way. I'll have to show what little technical DJ chops I have. And I won't lie here - they are *very* little. I can crossfade with the best of them when I'm on, but I'm not a beatmatcher, I just have a good idea of how to put the music together to make the Gothlings dance. I'll be relying a bit more on the electronic acts more related to my usual field than audiorapture or nothingoth might. I have a wealth of trip-hoppy stuff, though, and that counts for something in the early hours, yes?
Anyway, reviewing this many CDs - thankless task that I'll be grateful for once I get inside R2. I need to make a database, I really do.

Tomorrow, the forcast calls for rain. This means that we will probably not be doing the usual flyering thing, but we'll play it by ear. They're actually calling for snow later in the day. What the hell? We never got this much snow before Xmoose.

I have had lots of things on my mind, but I haven't felt compelled to share them here. Sorry. I just think I need to cling to them tightly for a short while longer before releasing them into the world.

Okay. Back to reviewing.

I really wish we could come tomorrow night. :( I wish we could still do marathon drives and awaken refreshed the next day. If you'd like, you can come over tonight and hang out a bit while I run around like a decapitated chicken. And you can see our pwetty twee.

Anyhow, *slurp*. Next week, moods willing, we shall BAKE!
