It is the first night in *Ruidoso*. I am with my parents but thankfully in my own room at the hotel. Perfecktni. I awoke at 8.30 at my father's summons and nigh an hour later we were on the road through the bleak flatness of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico to end up finally in the semi-mountainous serenity of *Ruidoso*. Our first destination, of course, was *Billy the Kid* casino. I failed to win a single thing, and in this regard secure the beginnings of an accumulation towards Habosh's Iriver and rent ...

I also love mangos, but not at the same time as liver paté. The good news is that Magma is playing in Praha two nights in a row (a different set each night) on 26 & 27 November. The bad news is ... hm, well, there doesn't seem to be any bad news. ...

A friend of mine and I were, over beers the other night, coming up with names for songs (because naturally, it is more fun to start with a title than tack it on at the end of the compositional process). Here they are: - She's in Zagreb - I'm here - You Might Want to Get Out of the Building - Gingerbread Rape Scene - Your Slovak Bitch's Brains are on my Boot - Where do you Draw the Line Between Consonance and Dissonance? - I'd Prefer Seeing the Grand Piano Burn to the Ground - A Fugue of Screaming Babies Be...

Cakewalk has been giving me a tremendous headache for the past week. After I thought I had all of my problems solved with my obscure soundcard, everything came rushing back again and drowned me in a thick pool of frustration. It took a while to work myself out of the mire. I should mention that I had a bootleg version of the program and while I am not sure, that could have been one source of the problem. Anyway: yesterday I downloaded and installed this piece of software and after literally hours of fucking...

Since I am unable to do any real work at the moment, I decided to fiddle with my Livejournal Interests for a good while. I'd say I performed a more or less 40% modification. The initial purpose was to rid the list of the more general interests and replace them with more specific ones. For example, I replaced Indian Food with Korma and Vindaloo. The purpose is to define myself in a more explicit manner. Whether I have succeeded or not, I don't know. It was a mildly interesting amusement, however, which ate a...

Depression

Depression is annoying, especially depression which seems to have no basis. It's been creeping up on me all day (stealthily, I might say, though I could sense something growing) and has now reached a plateau. It's hard to think. It's hard to function. Why? What causes this? It consumes me about once weekly with varying intensities. Should I go on anti-depressants? I surely don't want to. ...

### Total volume of music About 500 cds (plus another 500 in storage in Munich). On the hard drive, I have over 30 GB of stuff (mostly ripped cds, but also downloaded thinghies). ### Last CD I bought Opeth - Ghost Reveries. ### Song playing right now аквариум - сварог. ### Five all-time favorite songs (I am only listing things which would be, by most, considered songs as opposed to compositions.) Slapp Happy - Scarred for Life Peter Hammill - Touch and Go аквариум - Маша и Медвед The Church - The...

I am sitting here alone with my fan at work. The fan is not very conversational, so I came to the conclusion that rambling a bit here would be a good substitute. It doesn't converse, though it does emit a nice whirring noise that is pleasant and nullifies the stifling silence of the office. Today has been a relative waste (other than the spinach salad that i concocted earlier, that is). Relative to the weekend and the whole of last week. I awoke at 15.00, stumbled around the flat for a bit, sat down, smoke...

After going to the crazily overpriced Iron Maiden gig in the very stuffy T-Mobile arena at Výstavyště full of more than 20 000 heat-generating humans (and one cat), Patricia, Habosh, Rostej, et. al., and I went to a pub to drink beer and smoke pot. During the course of the evening, Patricia began to give Habosh Spanish lessons. He got to learn very important and useful phrases such as "No puedo trabajar porque estoy colocado." Soon I suspect he'll be ready for a job interview in Spain. This has certainly b...
