bu yin, bu long, bu cheng gu gong (Chinese)

What a weekend I've had already and it's only Sunday lunchtime. Not that it's been bad, just different.

Let me start by saying that although I'm sure something interesting must have happened on Friday (and without upsetting my lovely Niki at all) but I can't really remember anything about it. Now I know that I've been a bit bored recently but that's just ridiculous, it can't have been that dull that either nothing at all happened or I have blanked it from my memory. Not sure I understand that at all really but there you go.

I can't remember exactly when it was, but at some point between Wednesday morning and Friday night, I put an ad on the Gumtree community site via Yahoo about getting a band together with some differnet people (thought it might be a good way to meet new friends and do something about my boredom). Well I got an anwer on Saturday morning which I am following up, I'll let you know what happens.

Anyway, Niki went to work on Saturday and I slept in, I couldn't believe it I was in bed later than 8am, in fact I didn't get up until about 10.30ish. After faffing around on the computer for a while, I started working on some songs that I'd basically done the music for weeks ago. I spent the rest of the day doing that and came out of it with two completed songs (which I have now posted on my Kizlode MySpace site), one of which is a cover of The Dixie Cups version of Iko Iko (memories of my brother Pete - more of that later) and one 'original' song of my own about my heart attack. Looking back from now, the evening/night seemed to go by in a blur, we watched Dr Who on the on demand thingy that Virgin Media have and had dinner then watched some more tv and then bed.

Now I'm sitting here faffing around on the computer again and listening to the mp3's that I've got on my hard drive. That's where the memories of my brother Pete came from, I got a lot of my interest in a wide variety of music from him and have a lot of songs as mp3's that were songs he first played to me. He was a great bloke and I miss him a lot.

Well, I'm going to leave it there for now.
