time sure flies.
What a year!
There were times when I wanted to tear my hair out in mistakes and circumstance, and others when I truly rejoiced seeing my endeavors blossom. Chaotic as it was, this fantastic year behaved similar to when I used to CLEAN my cluttered room ~ it always got messier before it could get cleaner. agree?
My year in bullet-points:
- Recorded (jan-mar)
- jerked awake punching the soundboard (middle of the night)
- broken car window, stolen keyboard (ass-wipe in the night)
- released
Barkentine!! (!!!)
- traveled to Portland, Boston, London, Edinburgh, San Francisco and back…
- receiving great responses to the album and reviews!!
When I was in Edinburgh, new songs hit me like the flu. So I’m spending January romancing my pen in the cave, and somewhere in there I’ll be taking a break at DISNEYLAND!!! Can’t wait!
I spent Christmas this year with a nun. She’s a dear friend and has great capacity to discuss any issue at hand as well as eat anything I cook (yes that’s hard). while I’m not religious in a single faith, I have deep respect for what she does and simply enjoy her company. we rode our bikes and sang carols screeching at the top of our lungs. Made the hobo smile.
Back to my cave -
Stay warm, dearies.
