Happy Halloween everyone! I'm drinking up gourd vibrations (with apologies to the Beach Boys).
Looking forward to all the ghouls and goblins and princesses and parents who will be visiting tonight for a wonderful scare!

My current ghostwriting project is a load of fun, but damn if the hook hasn't been ridiculously elusive. Then BAM, it all came into focus yesterday.
The project is a bit Fritjof Capra, a bit Esther Hicks, a bit Lao Tzu, focused on a kind of practical mysticism. Now putting the puzzle together...!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but hot damn am I loving the #shangri-las today. "Out in the Streets" is a fine, sophisticated song that showcases all their talents. I could worry about the production value, and remasterings for compilations leave a lot to be desired, but some fine #music

Anyway, surrealism died with Lynch, so we no longer have irony, satire, or the surreal. its just a hyper-mechanical-reproduction world of regurgitated content that someone else made first.

New Year, new(ish) me!
Added voiceover work to my services. New setup; jury still out on cat as soundproofing experiment. First client work accepted.
15 years of broadcast experience, REALLY happy to resume some audio work.
If you know folks needing VO work, I'm grateful for all referrals! 😀

Here we are, New Year. Give us your worst. Or best. Whatever. We're ready. I'm going with this mood for the whole damn year. Roll with the punches, like #jimmybuffet Cowboy in the Jungle.

A Christmas thought: "One volume of Propertius and eight ounces of snuff may have the same exchange-value, despite the dissimilar use-values of snuff and elegies." I prefer the elegies, myself.
