I've taken up knitting. And naturally have become obsessed. It's very satisfying and makes watching tv a lot more productive. Using a gorgeous wool called feathers, which looks like purple eyelashes fluttering on the needle as you knit. Also a fuschia loopy mohair, and for a separate scarf, another very lush mohair that changes colour every few rows.
Still struggling with depression, sense of isolation and not really getting anywhere. Working on it with yoga, taking action and lots of bicycle riding. Started following up all the bridge remix people, to make that compilation cd come together. Need to find a brilliant sound engineer, composer, mixer to strip the original material back and create minimal compositions. A few people floating around, but no-one really seems to have the time. Working on it myself, but I get overwhelmed so quickly by the sheer volume of sound (!) and my
technical ineptness.
Going to sydney over easter to see family and friends, spend some time by the ocean - hopefully that will be rejuvenating and fulfilling. If any of my friends there ever bother to return my calls. They're great when you're in front of them, but long distance communication doesn't seem to be a forte. At least I have time with my cousin and sister lined up - very excited about hanging out with jess and youcef, he's my first nephew.


Anyway, time to get to the office and create another chapter of this masterpiece I'm working on.
