Slowly landing in mind and soul, this time have spent a few days in limbo. Not quite here, nor still there - it was strange at first, feeling so disconnected from somewhere at once totally familiar and completely bizarre. Evening out now, a couple of bike rides across town helped, although got a flat on my way back from Turkish market in Nuekolln yesterday, and had to leave my bike outside a friend's place on simon-dach strasse,while I schlepped home with all the fruit and veg I could carry for less than 5 euro. It's hard to spend more then, unless you have a truck to take it all home in. Now arranging with d.rock to borrow some of his bike fixing kit, meeting at volkspark f'shain where I'll be crashing the tuned cities picnic. Ah well, couldn't make the event, at least I can go to the after-party. Following that, opening night at white rabbit, new space in the studio of Jerome, who I met at La Generale in paris all those months ago. Already going there next week for derek's death metal night, and listening to the bass beats of 'girls just wanna have fun' and intercom electronica made me wanna dance, so jetlag be damned, I'm going out tonight!

I love being back in Berlin. Ok, it's been a weird few days and not feeling connected with the city at all, but now I'm hooking into the vibe again, loving that intertwined scene. Writing tomorrow. And all the rest - so many projects to keep up with, future plans, here there and everywhere. It's all worth it though, when things start happening, they really happen. Was looking forward to a few quiet weeks catching up on proposals, admin, sending out tracks for various compilations, but have a feeling that I might not be as hermit-like as I imagine.

Ok, a few links, for those of you who like to live vicariously...
get up and dance!! and remember to believe sixty impossible things before dawn - that reminds me, the lyrics playing as the plane touched down at tegel 'dawn breaks'. I love that.
