On a scale from 1-10, how excited am I? 110!
Afternoon my friends!
I have managed to sleep for two nights in a row now – wohoooo! Starting to feel a bit better too, but don’t want to take out another victory in advance because I don’t want to end up half dead like I did a few days ago.
Sipping on coffee, listening to music and planning my day. Got a lot of school work to catch up on today plus I’ve had this mix running around in my head for a while now so was hoping to be able to put it together today…
Been feeling very sorry for myself all week. I really hate being ill! And it’s not the snot or the fever or the cough that get’s to me, it’s the fact that being this ill completely drains me which means I can’t work or study. In all honesty, it drives me nuts not being able to do what I love because I’m too drained and feel like my brain has turned into mush.
But hopefully I will be back to normal soon! So many exciting things happening that I don’t want to waste more time being ill!
I’M ALIVE! Barely but still…
Went to work today despite my better judgement. Should have stayed home and rested really, but in my defence, nothing get’s done if I’m not in the office to crack the whip! Plus, I was getting so lonely & depressed by being home on my own that I simply couldn’t face another day alone.
And despite having difficulties breathing, frantically sneezing, sweating like a mad woman on the train and aching all over – I’m still rather happy & cheerful today. Not like yesterday when I felt like crying every other minute.
I guess that’s the way it is when you love your job… Was wonderful to spend a whole day with just Jazzman, I love it when it’s just me and him! We can geek out about Jazz, he tells me stories and moans and makes silly jokes.
Need to make a mental note of stop moaning so much!
Oh and apparently this “famous person” is visiting us tomorrow. He isn’t *that* famous (I think…) but I can’t believe that I will have to meet him in this snotty state and with a deeper voice than Barry White. If anything, I hope I will make a lasting impression, but whether it will be good or not, I guess only time can tell. I just hope I don’t sneeze on him.
Right! Now more TEA and back to trying to get my brain working, I’m still doing an MA for Pete’s sake! xxx

DON’T MISS THE LDBK x MIXCLOUD PARTY THIS FRIDAY IN BRUSSELS!
To balance out my guilty pleasure in the previous post, here is another tune I can’t get out of my head!
Nicolas Jaar – What My Last Girl Put Me Through Bluewave EDIT by Clown and Sunset
As a uhm… “tastemaker” I should probably not post this kind of music, buuuuuut…
1. I don’t care ;)
2. I’ve been singing it in my head since I left the house this morning
Considering dropping it in my set on Friday in Brussels but not sure if it would go down very well… hehe… we shall see :)
Morning my friends,
Early start for me today, so so tired, trying to wake my brain up with some strong coffee. My entire body hurts… spent most of the weekend cleaning my old house. Don’t think I have scrubbed so much in my entire life and I think sniffing bleach for 7 hours straight has had some bad side-effects. And if that wasn’t enough, I had to carry a MASSIVE bag all the way down south which resulted in knackered wrists (combined with all the scrubbing) plus a destroyed right arm (I got bruises and some small veins have popped on my arm and gone red/purple).
But it’s all done now and I think me, Dave and Nat did a great job. Gonna miss our little house… Like Nat said: “it’s the end of an era”.
The rest of my time (awake & asleep!) I have been consumed with thoughts about copyright. As part of my MA course, I had to write a 500 word piece reflecting on readings I did last week with regards to copyright and the ongoing debate about it. To put it simply: Copyright is like putting your brain through a blender. I can’t get it off my mind and the more I think about it, the more confused I get haha.
I need to put up my blog post later today on the MA Music Industries blog (didn’t have time yesterday) so if you are curious on what we are discussing or want to know what it feels like putting your brain through a blender, feel free to check it out.
Now I need to go to work! Have a great Monday!
Come and join us @ Howl At The Moon (178 Hoxton St, London, N1 5LH) TOMORROW! It starts at 8pm and it’s free!
