hey, look at me! journalling again in less than a week. That's pretty good, a new record for 2004 perhaps.

i saw the butterfly effect last night and it was pretty freaky. like the kind of dark suspense movie that makes you so uncomfortable that you can hardly keep your eyes on the screen. pretty damn good for a hollywood movie, starring an unlikely serious actor.

we have a friend recording in our studio today, doing some work on a celtic record. celtic flute makes me feel all romantic :) how can you not be moved by it??!!! i'm making up my own form of celtic dancing to the music, since i have no real idea of how people dance to those reels and jigs. just so long as i don't knock over stuff in the studio, i figure my dancing is fine. i would love to go to ireland someday. maybe it's time to book a tour there!

some friends in Utica want me to come down and do a gig there. I'm tossing the idea around, since i can't bring the whole band right now, and i've been focussing on doing only band gigs, not solo stuff. i'm actually thinking about putting together a solo (or even duo) version of the stuff, with some interesting textural stuff using the laptop. ethereal, maybe. i'll let you know how it's coming.

we also have potentially a new member of the band... doing vintage synths and keys. we're doing a gig next month in toronto, and he's gonna play it with us.

time to go write,
