Another week, another year. I can't believe it's 2008 already. I also can't believe that I'm living in London, but that's my own damn fault.
Things are rolling along relatively smoothly until the glitch with the internet hookup in the new flat (as in I need to get it hooked up) put a damper on this week's progress. Earlier this week I managed to pick up my music gear from the Air Canada Cargo terminal at Heathrow even if it cost me an addition 165 quid for the storage charges that nobody told me about (13.50 quid per day!). Having the gear though makes the move seem more real, as now I can return to writing and recording on the piano. You can look forward to more Sancho Panza musical creations on Project Wednesdays now that I have my recording equipment.
Recording also makes things so much easier with the band (tentatively called Ship of Fools). We rehearsed yesterday for the first time since before Christmas, but were able to effectively jam out the song structure to 5 different songs in 3 hours. We song write well together which is good.
In addition, the brothers that run the studio where we jam need a sound engineer for occasional showcases they put on, so I offered myself and we'll see if that comes together. It would be great to get the additional experience (plus the cash). I'll keep you all posted.
So far 2008 is looking pretty good. Just have to keep up the momentum and not get bogged down in the day to day frustrations that dot this little island.
