Feeling Better

I've been feeling depressed lately but it's starting to go away. It's probably all the people coming back to college. It's exciting and I now have something to look forward to. I've got all the music for my inaugural podcast picked out and an appropriate rant prepared, now all I need is the time to record it! I'll see if I can find the time next week.

Long Week

This has been the longest work week ever! Well, maybe not that long but certainly too long to be cleaning dorms. Me and the other guys carried mattresses up and down the stairs for about 5 hours or so. It ended up being a 10 hr+ work day! Needless to say, I slept well last night. :) Thank God it's the weekend!

A Little Depressed Today...

I don't know about this "Australia" thing. I really don't feel at home here. Everything feels so foreign and weird. Back at my old school, I used to love just walking around the campus seeing friends, listening to music, or just thinking. I simply don't do that here. This campus depresses me to no end. The buildings are just too small and bland to make exciting scenery. I probably have some last semester blues or something cuz I honestly liked it here until tonight!

I think I'm just getting a little depressed because 2 of my greatest friends are leaving (me) Australia for the states in a couple of weeks and it's really just hit me now. I spent all last semester getting to know and like them and now it's all going to be snatched away! Pretty frustrating for sure...

In other news... I finally found a host for my forthcoming podcast! I've been doing some thinking about why the hell I actually want a podcast and I came to this conclusion, I just want to have a way to actually TALK to people! It's going to be more of an audio blog than a radio show so don't get you're hopes up. (both of you!)

Summer Reading :)

I really love the summer. I wasn't loving it a couple of weeks ago but I had my reasons. I had nothing to read! Even since I was younger, it's been my tradition to head to the library once or twice a fortnight and check out an armload of books to read. I hardly ever have time to fully devote myself to reading during the school year (except for text books) and the summer is my time to escape! I was out of luck because I don't think I can get a library card here in Australia so I just made due with RSS feeds (The link is a list of articles I've found interesting over the past month or so) I finally borrowed some books from a friend who moved back into the dorms and I've been off on my delayed summer reading ever since! I just finished the DaVinci Code by Dan Brown and I've started the prequel of sorts, Angels and Demons. While browsing for eBooks earlier today I stumbled across this site. It's Russian and it's got a loosely translated English section so be warned. What the site lacks in aesthetic properties it more than makes up for it in content! It has many popular books from authors ranging from fantasy greats RA Salvatore and JRR Tolkein to thrillers from Dan Brown and Robert Ludlum. It'd defiantly be worth checking out if you don't have access to these books and don't want to buy them. (yet)
Enjoy peoples!

Here's my idea for a podcast... I want to at least start out with a music show so I can get used to the idea of having people listen to little old me over the old inkernet. I'm gonna hit up the PMN (and where ever else podsafe music lives) this week and see if I can find any cool new music to share!

Till then... Lets keep rockin!

Well... Here's my first post at my spiffy "new" blogger blog. I'm still working on creating my own sweet template and registering my own domain. This is all baby steps toward me eventually podcasting. I'll get that started when I get all my ideas together in a coherent way instead of this mess that's floating around in my mind at the moment. I want to have a music show but I'm not sure how to structure the show... I'll keep y'all posted on any developments on that front. Right now this blog looks pretty sparse but I'm going to continue to update throughout the week as I find the motivation/inspiration. Let me know if I should actually pursue this blogging/podcasting thing further!
