Scotch was on special.

I'm celebrating a new job.
Full time work as opposed to the casual work I've been doing for the last four years.

In theory my casual position was flexible and allowed time off to do music, but the lack of regular sleep cycles was a killer. The irregularity made it difficult to organise use of all the little spots of free time too.

So, now hopefully some routine will make things easier, particularly on the self development front. I'd like to get piano lessons, and do yoga at the same time each day, and maybe go back to doing some electronics classes in teh evenings. I could use some self-defense classes too. All this seems plausible now. That and the opportunity for the unbridled satiation of my gear lust.

I have the opportunity to play a set on a sound system at an upcoming multi-crew free party. This excites me as the DIY culture scene in Sydney has been in a transitional period for a few years, but appears to be reforming. I enjoy the dialog it encourages re: the politics of space (what is, and why do we need Public Space for example) That, and the fact that its just plain good old fashioned (rave) fun to break into a warehouse with a fuck off (big) sound system or six, and party all night long.

I have only a couple of weeks to get my MPC going again. I keep busting it - I'm a compulsive tinkerer. Perhaps if I swap out the dud CF reader for the ye olde zip drive I can update the corrupted firmware... Plan is to have it drive me analogs and crank out some dubstep.

I hope to get someone to video the gig as it will be a wild party and probably make a good promo to get more gigs...

Thanks for reading, I better go drink some water...

Dr Zanfinator,
No good. Job has turned out to be me more shift work - better casual on call, but still no regular evening activites... well actually I've made a bargain to get wednesday nights free and am currently using them to do a class in C programming, which is going well... no progress w/ electronics, music classes, or yoga.
