Smee - Composer and Performer

Folks, my career has begun. :D Well, actually no. But something's happened, and it is a bit exciting.

My sister-in-law's sister is doing a degree in ... visual arts? media design? (something like that) and has co-produced a short film that I've been asked to do the music for! So there you have it! My name's gonna appear in the credits, and all through the film is going to be *my music* in the background! :D

So Sunday arvo we read through the script, and whipped out the music in a couple of hours. I've just watched the footage now, and it should be fun. So tomorrow night (yep, another late night) I'm tootling off down to Deakin to their studio and recording everything. :D How fun is that?! Oh yeah, and it's gonna be screened at the Astor next month!! :D So I guess we'll see how it goes...

Guilty as charged

I will be the first one to tell you that when I am tired, I put off going to bed *because* I am so tired, and therefore know how tired I'm going to be when I get up early in the morning... Of course the mentality is that the longer you try to stay awake, the more you are "avoiding" the inevitable. In reality, that's not what happens at all - you just make yourself more tired than you already were and exacerbate the situation...

So here I am. Squinting at the screen. Listening to a CD. With all the lights on. Trying to stay awake. When I should be in bed. Asleep. Where I should have been two hours ago. And could have been. But of course I put it off.

*sigh*

Why on earth does the verse about a double-minded man come to mind...? Looking in the mirror, forgetting what you look like, unstable in all your ways... I get the feeling that my ridiculous attempt at "avoidance" of tiredness, despite my knowledge of my personality and previous circumstances is way up there for being double-minded...

But of course who is wise and does the things they should when they're tired?

Excuses, excuses... maybe I should just go to bed!

Let's pop open the champers!!

Wouldn't you know... I received my first spam comment on my blog. :D Nearly brings a tear to one's eye... :D
