Day: 31 March 2003

  • “It’s just another day… like any other day…”

    So goes Skip Raiders – Another Day. Which samples Barber’s Adagio for Strings. Which is on William Orbit’s album, “Pieces in a Modern Style.” Which I bought today. Which I am listening to now. It’s a great album, chilled classical stuff, highly recommended! Also is “Classical Ambience” — very chilled as well, again recommended.

    And in a completely different vein, I also bought David Forbes – Answers, Impact – Hands of Faith and The Roc Project – Never (Filterheadz Remixes). All good tunes, I was actually quite impressed! Definitely a cut above the flip n fill / kelly llorenna etc cheesey crap that’s coming out nowadays. Well not even that.

    This is what I don’t like about this kind of music — it’s not cheese, and it’s not proper trance / dance — it’s somewhere in the middle. Which doesn’t really make it anything. Ah well…

    Anyway, bought those in town, then came back, did some revision for Computer Graphics, had dinner, watched a Perry Mason film… and wrote up this Blog.

    And that’s it folks! Talk to you soon…

  • Once again, yet another 24 hour period passes without an update

    This is my version of Sunday evening, although it will display as Monday morning. Oh well. I’ll bring you up to speed, so they say…

    It was mother’s day today. This morning was a mother’s day family service, it was pretty good! It’s always interesting to have something different happening. I bought Mum a card and a box of chocs although I didn’t actually get around to giving them to her until this afternoon… oh well, she didn’t seem to mind too much!

    This afternoon I didn’t do much. And this evening I didn’t do much. I spent some time reading (now only 100 pages left of “The Cross of Christ” — wooo!!). I spent about an hour and a half chatting to Andy B — first time I’ve had a proper chat with him since Christmas-time, hence the long time!

    Did a bit of mixing… this evening I watched a film called “Black Dog.” I saw it a few years ago and quite enjoyed it so I decided to watch it again, it’s just finished. All about trucks and people fighting each other in trucks (kind of like the bit in “The Fast and the Furious” but more that kind of stuff, if you know what I mean. If you don’t, tough. That’s your fault.)

    And now I’m going to bed… I don’t know about these early bedtimes you know, what next — going to bed before midnight? Honestly, I don’t know what these students are coming to these days…
