Bit of music and a bit of info.

Hello special people, how I do miss you all.


The energy problem (in case mom hasn't been keeping you up to speed) has not vanished, but the doctors say I'm perfectly healthy. The fatigue in itself I could probably handle, but this dizziness and lightheadedness is tough to accept, if I'm so "totally healthy." So for now, we're ignoring it, and hoping it goes away.


Can't complain too much about things here, our second vacation is coming up (t-18 days) and we're heading to an island of the eastern coast of korea for 5 days. Exploring a volcanic crater, lots of swimming, and a few drinks are in order. With any small amount of luck Tylor will be there with us. Our bosses plan was to get him here before the 15th, but he's giving us no details about his manoeuvres, so we have no update on whether or not that is still happening. He doesn't technically need to be here until the end of September, (IE his first classes are slated for October 1st) but the boss really wants him here to be able to get some training from the teacher he's replacing. Originally he asked if me if Tylor wanted to be here earlier, around the 7th, but I barely see him making it for the 15th as it is. We'll see.


I've set up a super professional recording studio in my room, (pictured below) and this past week recorded a few songs. Hopefully, in time, I will learn how to a) properly sing into a mic; and, b) better use recording equipment, so that I actually can record things that sound decent, but for now I give you a few links to what I hope will eventually become the 'before' music. It's super simple, basically just sit down plug in my guitar and play to record, so I'll be probably posting a lot of stuff with my posts. Don't feel obligated to listen.


Super. Professional.

Just click the link and then click on 'play hi-fi' to listen. Once again they aren't great recordings, simply a hint of what I've been up to lately. You're my best friend and not your savior are covers. The other two are my own.


Other than that, not too much going on. September and February are the two months we get our scheduled completely rearranged, so the next few days are a bit hectic, figuring out who our new kids are / what their levels are / what books to use / which ones are assholes makes for a busy time of year.


But for tonight, I'm sitting here with a glass of wine, watching some mythbusters, and then going to bed. A lovely evening, this.


Oh, I watched a movie recently that I recommend no one watches if they want to keep on eating meat with pure conscience and a calm stomache. It's called earthlings, you can (if you dare) watch it from here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6361872964130308142# , and it contains in it by a large margin the most disturbing images I've ever seen about the meat industry feeding y'all. Cheers.


And with that bit of discontent content, I'm off.


Later Skaters.

    You ever listen to any Mumfords & Sons or Otis Taylor? Couple of new bands i discovered lately. Think you would like Otis Taylor if you haven't heard of them already.
