Schrodinger's Cat

another last week in wellington

I woke up this morning from a dream that Bob Dylan and James Joyce had both just died, causing me to miss an exam. I was half expecting to see Dylan's death on the news when I woke up, but fortunately no. He should still have a couple more good albums in him. And James Joyce would be well over a century old if he just died now. Would be interesting to see what he came up with after Finnegans Wake though.

I'm leaving Wellington (again) on Sunday. Currently working up at the Kapiti Observer, and finding the hour and a half commute each way a nuisance. Oh well, only three days to go.

[One of] my problem[s] is that I get tired of just about anything after a couple of months, hence my life of peripatetic wandering from one short-term job to another. The pattern looks set to continue, as I'll be in Nelson for a couple of weeks walking the Heaphy track and doing some garden clearing or something, before heading to Gosford in New South Wales for a few weeks' working holiday. Then back for Christmas, haven't worked out what to do for New Year's yet, and hopefully spend January playing some gigs with Mike, Damian, Warwick and Fran. Unfortunately they're all a bit slack on answering their emails so it could be hard to organise things if we're not all in the same place, grumble grumble.

I've got a vague dissatisfaction gnawing at me, and having the http://fiffdimension.tripod.com website down is a pain - I'm not making any progress getting the music out to the people who'd love it if they only knew it existed. Got to get the new site up.

And I need more exercise to get back in shape - too much sitting down since I returned from Melbourne, I've got a bit flabby. And I'm not doing enough creative writing.

All this is probably a healthy sign. On the hierarchy of needs, releasing albums comes some way below air and food. Complaining about little things suggests that the big things are taken care of for now.
