Music for Moods

¦ dialling in from Sky Bunker ¦

For some reason I woke up yesterday morning fighting off fear and depression. Maybe it was the numb lead colour of the sky, or a worry about finding work. Anyways, I dealt with it, with help from Steven Covey and the 7 Habits of Effective people, an amazing book. I subordinated my fears and moods to honour my goals, goals I've worked hard to identify, goals I understand are absolutely what I want in the various roles I fill. The day became very productive...pitched my CV to a number of creative companies, and made several applications for corporate roles.

Music for moods. Back in January I went into Fop to buy the new album by the Klaxons and walked out with 100 quids worth of other music. Too much to listen to in one go and appreciate so I've been rationing my listening, allowing 2 or 3 albums to embed the memories and moods of their first listening in my mind.

Mid January to Feb was New Order Substance 1987, Sugar Cubes, Klaxons, Data Rock and Gossip, with memories of day after day in the Sky Bunker, cold grey mist beyond the windows, working on finalising the novels for publication.

Now I've got Jethro Tull StormWarning, and Amusement Parks on Fire.

It's saturday and I'm forgetting about hunting for work and going to spend a whole day here in the Sky Bunker working on Yellow Dawn. Exciting developments with the combat system. Now working on Mythos monsters and integrating them into it.
