i've earmarked today as a writing day - not string parts, but new songs. i have a few that have been sitting on the backburner and this past month i've just been too busy writing string arrangements and rehearsing to have time to work on them. there's only so much energy in one day. they are actually fully written musically, so are just in need of lyrics... it will be nice to sit with the laptop over a cup of tea and watch people.

i signed up for a YouTube account... (always late to the party, i know) but we only just got the mini-dv cam back from repair a few days ago. i've been going through tapes that were taken during the one month that i had the camera before it broke... some footage from the last few shows of the 2006 tour, and footage from a photo shoot in November. I'll probably piece some stuff together soon and post something... you can subscribe to my channel at http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=karenkosowski - i haven't uploaded anything yet, but i did find a few classic sesame street videos on YouTube that i marked as "Favorites". yep yep yep yep yep.
