on a totally different note...

Well, being unemployed has - no big surprise - given me more free time, and I've been trying to figure out how to make the best use of that time. I have been spending more time with friends (old and new) and I've also been trying to focus on reading/writing/preparing myself for further academic study (been working on PhD apps too...). But one other thing I've been doing is returning to music. I haven't worked on any songwriting/composing in a long time, and it's about time I picked that up again. Over the past week I've been fiddling with my synth, software samplers, etc, and I have been reminded of just how much I love that sort of thing. So, hopefully this will also mark a return to some semblance of creativity that I've neglected for some time. Maybe I'll eventually post some of these new concoctions online. We'll see!
