New Acquisitions
Sep 30th
Just bought For an Angel, by Paul van Dyk; Sandstorm, by Darude; and Close Cover, by Minimalistix, off Ebay.
W00t. Can’t wait for them to arrive.
Housewarming
Sep 29th
I warmed the house with hard beautiful trance for 2 hours. It’s interesting for me to see how huge the difference is in my confidence level, when dj-ing at Youth, compared to dj-ing at home or with friends. Last night went almost flawlessly; I had so much fun, and was able to dance around and chat and eat while doing it. At Youth I’m working the whole time to make it work, and get stressed, and don’t start enjoying myself for like 15 minutes, if I do really enjoy myself at all.
So call me the Doubting DJ. I’m already getting More >
Postponed.

After much deliberation, I’ve decided that Maija and I shan’t go home to New Zealand in January. We’ll plan for around August/September instead, which will be much cheaper, and with the extra time for saving will allow us to do more fun stuff there.
And I’m really not that impressed with the Parachute artist line up. Sorries to Rochelle, cause it would have been mad fun to hang out with you back in the old country. But ahh well.
So this takes a little financial pressure off me. It also frees me up to be able to buy some more records and More >
Next Purchase

Even better than the real thing
Sep 27th
Just rubbed some on from a mail-out sample. I quite like it. Anyone fancying buying me some, it’s available from Sears. Or collect me lots of mail out samples. Hehe.
In other news, I’m working on my first major mix. I’m playing with a really ambient chillaxed kinda sound, which I reckon could be wicked to soak to. For those in the know, tracks like:
Believe by The Traveller & In MotionTurning Point by KavaDrum and Faith by Dr Siminz
Should be fun.

In case you haven’t heard about this already, big ups to Jeremy Wright for all the hubub and news he’s receiving on the sale of Ensight.org
Here’s a cool article from the news. I’m really happy for you Jeremy.
Babel
Sep 21st
Desire that I explain taste to him of the good messages of the Christian of the Jesus.“I want tell you the good news of Jesus Christ.”
During the hundreds years… He splodges some!“For one hundred years… Machines!”
Not seriously, with the l’accampamento of the volume.“One time, at band camp.”
She got a gun license…

Fine. I’ll blog.

But only about Fable.
Let it be known that I have never been a fan of RPGs, and even spoken down about those who are. I heard about Fable some time ago, and my interest was sparked. Mostly by the name of it’s creator, Monsieur Molyneux, who impressed me with Black & White, though I never got into it. I decided Fable would be the RPG to interest me in RPGs. Or at least, it would be a damn good game. Thus far, it is, and it is.
The storyline is simple. You’re parents are killed by marauding bandits. You are rescued by More >
Division
Sep 12th
An interesting talk on gays and lesbians and how the church should relate to them, by Tony and Peggy Campolo. Pretty well known dude (Tony) in Christian circles.
I’m listening to Du Hast by Rammstein. Best. Song. Ever.
I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

Can anyone tell me anything about the song Forever and a Day, that Jen Johnston sang at Camp Tsunami last week? I was listening to it just now, on my crusty tape recording of Thursday night, which is currently being transferred to my PC, and it’s such an excellent song.
And that was an excellent run-on sentence.
In other news. Tomorrow will be 3 months of going out with the most beautiful woman in the world. She’s amazing. Sometimes I just make foolish conversation with my mother just so I can slip in things about how much I love Maija. Hehe… true More >
