We made a video...
This is for our 6 minute long epic, "Fermina Daza". Don't switch off before the end, it gets exciting, I swear.

I am Anticipating Summer
Summer is coming. The days are getting longer and warmer and sunnier, and yet I have a tendency (due to necessity, rather than wont) to spend these longer sunnier days inside in front of computers with guitar or notebook in hand.
Northern hemisphere blogs are lamenting over the loss of summer and the waste thereof (ice floe I'm looking at you), which is inspiring me to make a list of the things I will do this summer.
- film our tour. We have our first nation-wide tour coming up and I have all these fancy new filming apps on my iPhone. Faux-8mm tour-journal here I come.
- walk barefoot. The bottoms of my feet are always pansy-soft and weak, and I always live in jealousy of the leather-soles of my peers. Gravel driveways and prickly grass mean nothing to them. I aspire to their tenacity.
- drink in the afternoons. A cider or a wine in the sun, accompanied by a book or a game of scrabble, is truly what these long evenings are for, right?
- take spontaneous trips. The beach, the bush, any one of the many parks around. Apart from the petrol it's free, and the groups of friends that just happen to be free at that moment are always the most joyous ones.
- write. A year spent on this record hasn't exhausted the songs at all, I still love them, but I want to create something new again.
- spend time on the important things, with the important people. I've lost a lot of desire to meet new people this year. Instead I've come to realize how wonderful having people I truly know in my life is. I want to spend my time on them, not in anonymous bars with anonymous people.
Of course there will be the inevitable new years aspirations and resolutions, but they can wait a few months before forming. At the moment I am reconciled to the inevitable hours I have to spend inside, away from this new spring, but when those hours are completed I will make a record of the time I spend doing the above.

Video evidence.
Some wonderful friends of ours have taken a couple of live videos of us playing. Because they're so talented I wanted to share them.

Weekend reading. Underneath is Blink from A Low Hum's "The Process In Which I Plan, Book and Manage Overseas DIY Tours". It's excellent, if anyone's into that kind of thing.
We have a video-type thing almost ready to be seen by the wide world. We recorded it live at The Brick Room at Roundhead with the amazing Gareth Van Niekerk of Northwest Digital and Aimee Carruthers of Papercut Design.

Sometimes I just want to look at beautiful things...
I go here....
... and here....
... and here....
... and I imagine that I live here...
I wish there were more places to look at beautiful things though. Share with me?
