Long Time, No Blog

It has been some time since I last posted here. I certainly did not intend to stop writing upon returning from New Zealand. It was more that I had fewer things worth blogging about. It's difficult to go from an adventure to a bland, familiar kind of normalcy. It was good to see friends upon returning to Saskatoon, for sur. But returning to the place I was excited to leave...well, it didn't exactly leave me inspired to write about my life.

All of the members of my prospective band are now in the same city for the first time, and I'm looking forward to kicking off that project. I have also been musing about a screenplay that I intend to write, though I am currently in the process of doing research for it. As for current musical projects, I will be busy this week rehearsing for the U of S composition recital, and with a friend for Thursday. I will be performing at local bar Amigo's this Thursday with an old friend, Nolto. We're doing three songs as an acoustic hip hop duo. I'm as nervous about how it will go as I am excited to perform. It should be interesting.

Return of the King

I have been home for almost a week now, and I'm delighted that going from summer to prairie winter isn't as terrible as I thought it would be. You can take the man out of the prairie, but...

Anyway, the most noticeable change is that the sun goes down so much earlier. The result of this is that my body shuts down, and I could fall asleep any time between 8 and 9pm, every day. And it's not a time zone thing, either. 9pm here would be 4pm where I've been. It's totally a sun thing, and I look forward to my body adjusting to my new sunlight schedule.

Until recently, I had no desire to look for classical guitar sheet music. But in the last while, I have gone back to some of the material from my last few years of school, and I enjoy it again. It's good to want to keep playing some of that music, before it slips from my memory completely.
