you want something to rember me by, you can write my name in the sky
I think it's high time I updated this thing.
So I took Dools' advice and checked out Julia Nunes on YouTube. It's rare that I do things just because the radio tells me to, but this time I'm glad I did. It must be said she is one cute female. And she can sing some songs. And make her tongue contort into funny shapes. And be funny. And play ukulele.
I tried playing & singing with a ukulele once, but it just didn't quite seem to suit my voice range. Even when playing in different keys I couldn't seem to get it quite right. And so it is I stick with its 6-stringed big brother.
Speaking of Triple J I have been listening to that station a lot more regularly these days. Not really as in listening a lot, more just listening at certain times as often as I can.
I sometimes listen as I drive to work, cause I like Robbie Buck & the Doctor, but I can't stand Marieke... so if she seems to having a bit to say I turn it off cause I find her annoying.
But it's Zan who gets me through the morning though. I totally have a voice-crush on her! Seriously, it's such a great radio voice!!! In fact I just love the way she comes across. But alas, she's only gracing the airwaves, or Interweb lines, for 3 hours. Then 3 hours later there's Dools & Linda who I find quite amusive.
So there you go.
No this post is not an ad for Triple J.
I'm just saying...
Anyway work has kept me super busy for quite a while now... which is probably the reason for lack of updates and lack of emails etc. Although I hate the excuse of "life being too busy", sometimes it's true. It sux, because it makes it sound like priorities are all screwed up. But I figure most of the time all it takes is a little bit bit of effort, not much, just to phone or write or whatever and say hi. Just checking in to see how people are doing can make a world of difference, especially if someone is having a bad week or something.
I probably do need to stop being so busy though, calm down a little bit. For the past few nights I've had... I don't know... just the most full-on dreams, which I attribute to messed-up sleeping schedule & being super tired. But it got me thinking. Most of the really vivid dreams take place in a fairly familiar location, except everything is totally different (if that makes sense). And in the dream you just accept things, but then when you wake up you know that things weren't real, weren't right. It got me thinking if perhaps, by looking at lucid dreaming (dreaming, but being fully conscious that what you're experiencing is only a dream), we could help those mentally ill people who have lost touch with reality. Like being able to find some way to "wake them up" back to correct reality or whatever. I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than that, but it was just a thought...
I miss playing guitar. I was thinking this week I really don't seem to play it enough anymore. Something like once a week if I'm lucky? Yeah, time for a fresh set of strings (cause guitars ALWAYS sound GOOD with a fresh set of strings) and a good jam. I'm sure it will be the first thing I pack when I head back to Canada.
