Jacob presented me with this as a Xmas gift. The more bizarre the better.

Okay, this whole holiday season really screws me up. Seems I'm busier than ever, and on top of it all I have 3 months of bookkeeping to catch up on, plus T4's to create. Merry ho ho. Bag humbug.

As a band, we bought ourselves a gift. I'll post photo(s) of it soon enough. Soon enough.

Listening to: Andrew Bird - Spare-Ohs

I had someone wondering why I hadn't posted any photos lately. Truth is, I haven't been that happy with what's coming from my camera these days. Plus, I've been working steady on the band's demo, website, myspace page, etc. etc.

Excuses excuses...

Done et Done! After many beers, Kaja and I finished the Silver Leaf type at around 3am last night. This was a collaboration from five of us, and I'd have to say I'm super ecstatic about the way they shaped up.

Now to mount them on the wall in our space.

First piano + theory lesson night. It's gonna be pretty terrific, if not solely for the conversations revolving around humanity, our culture & it's correlation to music.

Listening to: Hauschka - Blue Bicycle
