Bang bang

Had an odd dream last night. Dreamt an intruder came in through my
bedroom window, so I picked up a gun and shot him in the head. Then
felt guilty for killing a guy who was probably going to kill me instead.

And then, if that wasn't disturbing enough, while I was trying to look
up the dream meaning on my phone, I realised I was still stuck in a
dream and couldn't get my phone to work. How claustro. :|

According to dreammoods.com, I'm in the process of destroying things
that try to mess with my state of mind.

How exciting! That will definitely come in handy today at the company
football tournament. It's been more than a year since my tourney team
has played together - this could be quite a laugh.

Got a photo of the flytrap. It's not a good pic, but you can just see
the little bud stalk in the middle. Seriously, flytraps are hideous
things - this terrarium is not at all pretty - so I'm hell stoked at
the idea of a blooming things. :) more and better pics to come if I
catch it in time.

Since April, I've been working on a singing project with a fella named Mat. I haven't talked about it much with anyone - wanted to get my head around it before making too much noise. But we're almost over the big hump of 'start-up' work, so I'm feeling more comfortable discussing it. :)

Earlier this year, I hit a low patch. Boredom and depression seem to accompany each other in my head, so rather than sitting around like a bowl of mash, I joined a football team and decided to get in touch with my musical side (no, not my arse).

My mate dos4gw helped me record a singing demo to email to prospectives. A few emails later, my cousin put me in touch with a guy named Mat - a local DJ and producer. Since then, my music time has been filled with learning stuff, trying stuff out, and most of all, being disciplined and committed to our sort-of-weekly-or-fortnightly creative sessions.

Over the last seven months, we've worked on two songs. This weekend, we're hitting the studio to try and finish off all the voice recordings. I'm really excited.

It's not been a walk in the park. I've skipped out on pub time, game time, slack time, me time. It's been a real test of mental and physical energy, working it around the week's sport, work and the usual mood & health fluctuations. Hard work aside, it's been fun, and will be really awesome to get to enjoy the fruits of our labour.

Not 100% sure when the single will launch yet. I think it's around December-January - will share more when I learn more. :)

Football was sick as, tonight. We won 9-2. Yeahhhhh~ and I scored a goal. WOOOOOO~ and now I'm really tired and want to recline on the couch now. Good night. :)

Lychee from spring valley

The pizza place was shut so ended up at Edo, who now stock spring
valley's new tropical lychee drink with lemon balm and chamomile.
Lovely :)

Monday after a lovely Sunday

Bit throaty this morning, bit glandy. Must remember to have lots of
water today.

Had a really lovely day yesterday. Spent it with comfortable friends,
played football, ate BBQ, went for a swim, made salsa spud dinner, did
some zine writing, then watched some exciting MMA fights.

Slept like a log. I love those nights where I'm completely spent and
collapse into bed.

However, I don't love those Monday mornings where I wake up sore and
groggy and have to haul ass to work.

Today shall be a day of little milestones and encouraging treats like
finishing drafts, making a work plan for the next 4 weeks, buying some
lemon for my water jug, and so on.

Good morning, everyone. It is Monday.
