where are we going?

Friday, February 04, 2005

well, it happened, i've neglected my blog for over a week. it feels like an asignment for school that i've been procrastinating about. but in reality i went on a 'long weekend' holiday with the other one and our very good friends mel+steve (sea kayaking and rock climbing), and then started my new job. i have been so looking forward to having a normal life - you know, 9-5 jobs, weekends off - but i think i might have been dreaming when i thought i'd have a good amount of time to be able to finish my research paper in the evenings and weekends. i suppose if parents can do it, i should be able to.

so i haven't done any work on my paper for a week. it feels awful, like i'm going backwards, loosing track of everything that was being held/suspended in my floating 'mid term memory' (i'm convinced i have one - i gets completely wiped after an exam, but can last for up to 5 days).

according to my little counter there must be people checking here every now and again - i'm grateful because that mere fact gives me motivation to think about my research so i can produce something semi-intelligent to post here.

on a less positive note, trinity roots are playing their last ever gig in raglan tomorrow night. i never checked when it was so i'm missing out. forever - because i've never seen them live. a tragedy, they've contributed so much to nz music. new years resolution - more live music, more live theatre, more adventures.

if you are reading this and you are not a nzer (or just haven't really heard their music), go to the official trinity roots website and click on the 'music player' to get a taste. it seems you can listen to most of their recorded music (their two main albums anyway). flick through til you get to a song called 'home, sea and land' or 'beautiful people', or maybe 'little things', or maybe 'true' (if you wanna know what "nz" sounds like!).
