I've been in this post since Friday morning, and although it's a steep learning curve, I'm seriously bored. I don't mean to slate the job, but when the phone's not ringing I just don't have anything to do. Mind you it pays the proverbial bills, so I'm not complaining.
What dreadful weather! However there are several things to be happy about - the sun _will_ shine again soon, I can go home whenever I want, and the gig's going ahead on the 26th July. I'm so happy, and all I have to do is prepare a 20min improvisation, something that requires a great deal of work. Max is starting to behave (the computer program, not my dog) and it looks like I might have a real live working patch in time, with some of the features I've been trying to implement for a while. The problem is that I have to have some musical elements to fit with all these tools, so I think I'll be working on that when I go home at the beginning of July.
As for other things, Helena is back to smooth the waters and play Nintendo DS with Leasha. For all the cheapness of their appearance, and the ghastly pink cover they're quite impressive - they have wireless links, voice recognition and touch screens. Not that I think I'll be investing in one any time soon.
Looks like I'll definitely be staying in the UK after all. I'm going to apply to Goldsmiths and the Royal Academy, much to the chagrin of those supporting the Scottish music scene. I'm going to try again for New York, but it really feels like trying for a baby, what with all the paper work and stress and tests and what have you. I thought about it a bit, and I think it's best for me studying in a University, that way you have the benefit of cross-subject research, in whatever discipline you choose. That'd be especially useful if I wanted to branch more into theatre, or computer studies etc. Also Universities are great communities and the musicians tend to be a lot more 'grounded' to speak.
Anyway I'm at work and supposed to be answering the phone instead of blogging. More later.

For just a short second, I almost thought you were calling Leasha and me cheap. Secondly, I thought you'd already sorted out the baby thing, in which case NY won't be so tough a mountain to climb.
