Crunch time

Not too much to report this week, but suffice to say things have got to change. For the sake of my sanity, health, self respect, confidence and all the people and things I hold dear, my situation has to take a turn for the better. It is a daunting task and won't be easy but I have put the wheels in motion. It may be a quick process - it may not, but I'm not ready for a pre-mid life crisis just yet...I haven't got the time or patience to be honest.

A quick round-up of the week that was, but wasn't exactly: Worked long and hard all week - achieved less in some areas and more in others. Love working in Flash - I find it more calming and satisfying compared to some other stuff I'm doing. Made some careless typos in a brochure (too stressed and busy to concentrate) and felt stupid about it when they were pointed out. Cancelled on Mark on Wednesday due to lateness of working - got a bit knacked about it (we'll re-arrange soon). Met Mike for a drink on Friday - put the world to rights as usual. Met a load of peeps for dinner at Scoffers in Clapham last night - splendido catch up. Good fun, average food, smooth brandy. 

Today: getting an hour less in bed but enjoying the sunshine, putting the wheels in motion, listening to XFM, doing odd jobs, reading the papers, playing guitar (new FX pedals in the post - Boss DR1 and Digital Pan/Tremolo - niiice), hopefully going for a long walk when Caroline gets back and making my famous chilli burgers for dinner tonight.

Book: Eye Mind - biography about 13th Floor Elevators, who are often referred to as the pioneers of the psychedelic sound - enjoying muchly and review to come soon.

Tunes: Kraftwerk - Maximum/Minimum; Maps - We can create; Chris Morris - Blue Jam; Butthole Surfers - Locust Abortion Technician.

Film: Lions for Lambs - Great film set in the very near future and very recent past surrounding the war on terror. Viewed from several different groups, so it's the usual life intertwining thing, but done very well. Directed and co-starring Robert Redford with Tom Cruise playing a hard-ball republican government bod and Meryl Streep as a conscious ridden reporter. Recommended - 8/10.

Mantras: Fortune favours the brave.
