¦ dialling in from the Sky Bunker ¦
20:12 GMT, Friday 27th March 2009. Man I'm in a good space. I took a long hot bath to soak away the brain fug from a week of learning... meanwhile, I started playing an unlistened-to album from the big folder of bits and peices I've bought on random whim or been given. I was in the mood for something new, and a new soundtrack to define the memories of this period of my life. The album "Meccano Mind" by Syntax was next in the folder. A random choice. Never heard of them before, no idea what kind of tunes. OMG... within 5 seconds of the first track starting... listening to that sonorous voice, edged with gravel, and the complex harmonies of chords, beats and magic...
...getting out the bath I towelled dry them pulled on my big woolly mammoth: my cardigan called Starsky. Then took a seat in the room with a view and sat there for nearly an hour, watching the sky shift through pinks, oranges and reds as the sun set... and allowing the blissful sounds of this band wash through the house.
I just checked them out on Wikipedia. The album is 5 years old and the band seems to had faded thanks to zero support from the record label. Criminal!
So now I'm deep into writing up a Mythos relic (artefact) for the new Yellow Dawn bolt-on... another hour or so then I'll gear up to head out onto the tiles. Go find Jo who's out clubbing with some peeps and either spend the night in their company or peel off and go into the random swirl.
EDIT: 03:57GMT, ahhhhhh *smiles* what a fab night out. Hooked up with Jo around 10pm. Loads of lovely friends of hers, including Andy B who spent over an hour raving about my novel, Edge. I'm deeply flattered. We wound our way through some bars to a club. Amusing. Some old ravers like me trying to keep things subdued as the classics came on. Jo looked amazing. Jo is amazing. I'm one lucky chap. I left her around 3 A.M. and made my way back home alone, much to the bemusement of some of her mates but we've got plans to hook up at the house tomorrow night and we have all of Sunday planned together. Blisto.
Hmm... I've got to be up in 5 hours to finish prep for the Shadows of the Quanitex session that's starting at noon. Ugh... I could kill for a lie-in after the week I've had.
Sunday.
Focus on Sunday.
