I was determined to write something today, but I found myself just staring at the screen for a protracted period.
I’m tired, jet lagged, and had a busy day where I had to be “on” in a slightly different way than usual. My brain is evidently tired too…
WiFi on airplanes has been around for several years now. The new difference is that it’s finally becoming robust enough to be useful! The technological advances keep on coming…
After my equipment epiphany, the other week, some new toys were delivered today. Looking forward to giving them a good testing.
I’ve just learned that I’ll be teaching a theory class at Jazz Camp in a few weeks. That’ll be a new experience for me. I’d best brush up on contemporary best practices, given that it’s over 30 years since I last even took a theory class…
I’m back from playing a show, this evening, and would be sitting quietly to compose tonight’s missive except I can’t hear myself think for a persistent whistling in my ears. Despite being mindful of volume levels in my in-ear monitors, something has really set my tinnitus off tonight.
It’s really all I can think about in this moment, so that’s what I’m writing about. Time to stop thinking so hard and see if that calms it down some…
I’m starting to get back into listening to music recreationally again after spell away from doing so. I have a huge library already, so I tend to revisit things from within it. That’s fun and all, but I’d like to broaden my horizons. Please comment your favourite music – an album or even just a song, along with the artist so I can find it and check it out.
I’ve been making an effort to sleep more in recent months. It’s been great, overall, and I feel much better than I have in a while. However, the unfortunate side effect is that on days like today when I wasn’t able to get much sleep due to an unusually early start for work, I’m feeling much more tired than I used to on similar days.
Time to try and sleep it off…
There are few things in life that make me sweat more than packing a suitcase.
Why on earth would that be?
I unexpectedly got a call to work, this evening, which upset the groove of the day that I had going. I was glad to go in and pick up the extra hours, but I now find myself sitting here after midnight, trying to think of something to write about.
In this moment, I am out of ideas.
Being busy is enjoyable to me on many levels, but it is the thief of creativity. I need to fit in some downtime soon, to allow my mind to have time to wander, without the need to snap it back on schedule at any given point.
I’m putting myself on notice…
I logged in to ponder tonight’s missive and noticed that I successfully posted daily for a whole week. That’s a good start.
The next challenge, as I continue, is to write something more thoughtful than a simple report of an event of the day, if possible. We’ll see how that goes…
