eek!

it’s been a while since i posted anything. i am still alive! shh.
i am sorting out some bits with the computer, largely.
and still the iPhoto library, home to some 22,000+ of my photos, seems to have forgotten how to see my photos. it’s okay, i know they’re still there. the library index database file was one of the casualties of the western digital hard drive failure of a few weeks ago. alas. still trying to fix it.. it’s a 25 gig library, so attempts are made over-night.
that being said, i have still been taking photos. i have them on another account which holds them for now, but as it appears.. it doesn’t really work for me to have two accounts.. i am too lazy to switch between users for photo cataloguing purposes, and it’s usually happening that i get to the computer at the very very end of the day. whatever.
i helped tim move tonight. move his records, that is. he is storing all his wax at my house for a bit and it is so tempting to look through them all tonight just to see what is there. he encouraged me and neil to, but there is just too damn much to even get started on. as a dj, you’re unreasonably attracted to large piles of music, looking and sifting through, searching for anything that you have ever had the smallest desire ever to look for. and just the idea that you once thought of looking for something makes it all the more attractive. yeah. what is that all about? i don’t know.. but it’s totally and fully true. ask any collector. time spent looking increases the value. something to do with perceived rarity. yeah, we’ll call it that.
ahh, it feels good to be writing again. i forgot that i had been missing it.. it’s only been two days, but it’s nice to be able to express myself. that and i didn’t really feel like expressing myself on the weekend. i was in a not-great mood and that effected me creatively. i obviously feel a bit better now. on the weekend i played golf with the gang on saturday, and then saw a local band (“jacob’s fall” they’re called) at lucky bar. then sunday i went with leah to the sooke potholes and relaxed in that piece of heaven that so few actually know about. you have to walk about an hour up the hill and then you take a left just before the quary. yeah, that’s right, the quary. if you have no idea what i am talking about, it’s because you have not walked far enough!
it’s totally worth it though. like i said, heaven on earth.
yes.

    wow, what an eloquently written description of a dj’s true love of music! so romantic! 😉 tee hee

  3. I’ve recorded a couple songs, but dayaAaAAaAAaaaaM is it overwhelming. I’m just listening to them records and sorting out what needs to be ripped….and the pile is growing. Sure, I’ve figured out some of what I want…but there’s stacks more…and where am I gonna get the time to actually rip it from? heh heh heh, I’ma think o’ something!
