David's Journal

If there’s something I have learned from having a website (or two) and a blog, it’s that I treat neither with the attention and care I’d like to. I don’t know exactly when or how it happens, but I wake up one morning and realise that I have no spare time for the next few weeks. Not that everything I am doing isn’t fun, or worthwhile, or at least earning me money - but life without time to unwind and relax and sit still is not the best place to be.

A taiko performance in Whangarei last weekend provided some good times and some excellent books. There is a second hand bookstore there called The Piggery I think which is incredible. I came away with some very nice sci fi from the noble 1950s/1960s. Check it out if you’re up there.

The wednesday previous we had our first performance as a band which went pretty good. It was at Hamilton’s wednesday open mic night at Fat Bellies which unfortunately has finished for the year. We might be recording some stuff though so if you missed it you may have the opportunity to check us out later. Oh yeah, and we still don’t have a name. Feel free to suggest some.

Mad deadlines, performances, recording, strange reunions and christmas shopping. This is truly a month to hibernate if at all possible. Maybe next year.
