Moving on Up

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

Wow my head is all over the place at the minute what with everything I have going on. I noticed I usually like to take my time over things - but its because otherwise my brain tends to implode at the idea of doing too much at once as much as it is me lengthening my own enjoyment of doing a task well.

I’m definately wired for bursts of intense concentration on a single subject rather than doing lots of things at once. Which is ridiculous as I have a tendancy toward giving myself ludicrous amounts to do at any time. Maybe I need to sit back and figure out the few important things and concentrate on those instead of rushing about like a mad thing.

Anyway what’s new? I moved into my new place (that’s move number 4 since last summer, for those of you who like stats). It’s a nice tidy shared house with other people who are all working; 1 greek guy, 1 norwegian chap and and a girl I’ve yet to meet. Still not shifted all my gear from my last place either so my room consists of basically: a bed, a desk, a chair and a computer.

Oh and my acoustic guitar. I felt really bad as I’ve completely ignored her since I got Jemima (my golden fender strat). In fact I just realised I still haven’t given her a name yet. I’m digressing, I was going to state how much my playing has improved since I moved into this place - I didn’t have my computer for about a week so I had nothing much else to do whilst in my room but play guitar, sleep or read.

Since then I been practising daily for a good couple of hours on average which has helped me develop a good strumming rhythm as well as enjoying the sound of an acoustic once more. So Jemima has competition, although I am getting severe withdrawal symptoms and I really can’t wait till she gets delivered so I can devote the best part of a day to wailing out and trying out some new techniques.

Meanwhile back to editing for me today. I went shooting on Saturday and for the first time in a long time i was really impressed by the results, mainly because we are getting used to our normal high standards, but the footage from Saturdays vox pops was really lifting it up a notch, kudos has to go to Robin’s shot composition, it’s really coming along nicely now. The great weather helped too ;)

Anyway back to multi-tasking like a mad one.
