Dreamland

From now on I go friends-only in this blog. So if you wanna be friends just add me. I`m most likely to add you.

I stabbed a finger and was fearing an explosion all the way through installing the new semi-professional soundsystem =\

Sure the fantastic quality of sound was worth it, but why is everything that is at least remotely proffessional so user-unfriendly?

Well, whatever. I got this new awesome stereo and I did play "Raising Sand" and two Francis Dunnery`s albums very loudly=)

I got hair of crazy colour.
I got headful of strange thoughts.
I got a Led Zeppelin vinyl.
I got blues.
I got an electric guitar.
I got a Fender amp.
I got a load of homework.
I got grand plans.
I got wide hips.
I got a great dislike of boogie-woogie dances.
I got a hellhound on my trail.
I got cheap shoes.
I got 4 Francis Dunnery albums.
I got a million dollar smile.
I got one ear pirced.
I got a thousand things to do.
I got dozens of songs to say.
I got a 108 GB HDD.
I`m back here to stay=)

i know I wasn`t too often updating this journal, but I WAS here though lurkin` mostly.
What I want to say now is that I lived through a major conscience-shift this weekend and now I need some off-line time to think it all through and fulfill all the plans made. I`ll ,ost certainly be back, just don`t really know when. And I remember all the things i promised to write, but didn`t. Let me inform you that the BIG fic I`ve been prating about for about a year now if finally ready as arough draft. So I`ll be back with a treat.

And for now BYE!

Hugs and kisses, I`ll reaturen one sunny day!

Strange things are happaning here, really))) I found a good friend and a colleague, I hope. I went to see Sex and the City - The Movie and I was deeply moved by it. It made me feel really sad and romantic...

I wanna fall in love again...
But still I`m hanging the moon in here=)

I`m excited, speechless, worried over my mind, hopeful, mad, longing, waiting, thinkin`, dissolvin` into nothin`, dancin` in heaven....

WHOA, it`s ALL HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can`t tell you yet what exactly, but do pray for me, pray for me!!!!!

*off to a summer-closing party to one of the cool pubs, but it`s nothin` to do with all the stuff above.... well, tiniest bit maybe*

First of all - my amplifier finally returned wrom the warranty service. Now the clean sound is working again and I dust my frets with "Ship Of Fools" and "I Wonder" (this one by Mahavishnu Orcestra).
There`ll be a lot of travelling and camping this summer so the business of reparing Dad`s old sleeping bag if full steam on. "Three days, three days.... we just love you" (c) Can`t wait to go actually))) but I`d love the weather to steady itself a bit before we go. t`s freaking COLD here this summer.
I`ve finally found courage to invite someone really cool to the cinema. And the invitation was accepted! Woo-hoo! Another of such pleasant shocks was that D. - a musician who is almost one step lower than Bonzo when it comes to drumming in my opinion has agreed to play with me should I find a groovy bass-player. And I actually have the right bassist... He`s not really a blues bassist though((( anyway I`m tooooo scared to really stick to this chance. It`s tooo good to be true, you know. I`ve had to drag my heavy amplifier from the shop yesterday so I`m reasting my hands now... And a band, a REAL power trio... I`ll wait a couple of days till my hands are read yfor playing again and this thought has grown on me a bit.

And the last but no less cool - my best friend - Mary Lou has FINAAAAAAALLY agreed to come to see a local band that plays Irish folk in a small bar every Thursday. So I`m off to that venue)))

Yeah, I did some thinking and I daresay the chaos my life seemed to be in has funnily structurised itself into a very well arranged thing. I know who I am, I know where I am, I know what to do. that really pleases me,

What makes me sad is that a bass player (and a very good friend of mine) moved to another city to live and study. I know we`re gonna miss each other a lot. Well... But I`ve got other people that play bass well.

Internet connection at my summer cottage turned out to be HELL! The funniest thing - there IS some signal, but more often than not it`s absolutely unstable(( but it IS so when I `m desperate for some web, I can always get the connection at least.

Got me a pirate dvd of the 02 Arena Led Zeppelin concert. There wasn`t much of a show actually, but the power of the music and the VIBES... Indescribably delicious! (c) =)))
Off to finish some work.

See ya all soon!

I`m following suit)

		I will marry a cool man.
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in London in our fabulous Mansion.
		We will have 0 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a Violet Hammer.
		I will spend my days as a band frontman, and live happily ever after.

It`s finally warm bordering on hot here. I took all the exams I had to take succesfully (all As, can you believe that?)
I`m working hard, really hard. I`ve got my eyes set on the beautiful Epiphone SG or Les Paul... Though everybody says Epiphone is a no-good guitar (how can it be?!.)
I downloaded some "undownloadable" songs thanks to one good plug-in for Mozilla and now I can enjoy some Stillwater (yess, the very Almost Famous Stillwater) and Lez Zeppelin.

I still crave going to the seaside but that`s more miles than I can think of, money is a bit tight and no one to accompany me. "Where are those friends when you need them most?" There is only one major trip planned for this summer and I pray I`ll manage to go.

Last trivia - I dyed all my blond highlights acid-pink and I`m terribly proud of myself)
Aaaand I`m going to the summer cottage this weekend for the first time in this year. I`m taking ,y laptop with, but I wonder how my wireless Internet will behave there.

Love, peace!

I wanna go to the sea, really. A friend of mine posted some pics of seashore and now I wanna go there too... Dreams, dreams...
In the reality I have huge anount of work to cope with and to add to my sorrows I`ve got an English Lexicology exam tomorrow. I don`t really know a thing on the subject, but I MUST get and A. Oh, well.

It`s a busy week ahead, yup.

I wanted to make a DAW in my laptop.
I installed a new OS for the music editing programs like all the wise books say.
I MANUALLY downloaded and installed all the necessary drivers for the sound card etc.
I made everything freaking WORK.

And now this ******* (censored) Guitar Rig 3  won`t work. It produces most interesting bugs, but doesn`t work.
The live input won`t actuall y work as a standalone at all.
Wavelab 5 beta says there is an error in decoding the signal...
Well, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, oh, the WISE ONES, in the books =\

 After reboot in the other Windows the live input sound is on. Everything WORKS.

Now I got a mean thing on my mind - deinstalling all that software and re-installing it under the first OS.
Got a question - how does one deinstall the second Windows OS when there is only one hard drive? It`s a laptop...

I`m feeling tired and in need of a good hug. Why everyone, no EVERYONE is telling me to tell them what to do?..
I`m not a saint, I`m not a doctor, I`m not  a priest, and my gosh, I`m NOT A SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR.

I`m just me. And I`m getting bored. A jazzy tune to go with my mood (Diana Crall sings this)

Peel me a grape, crush me some ice
Skin me a peach, save the fuzz for my pillow
Talk to me nice, talk to me nice
Youve got to wine and dine me

Dont try to fool me bejewel me
Either amuse me or lose me
Im getting hungry, peel me a grape

Pop me a cork, french me a fry
Crack me a nut, bring a bowl full of bon-bons
Chill me some wine, keep standing by
Just entertain me, champagne me
Show me you love me, kid glove me
Best way to cheer me, cashmere me
Im getting hungry, peel me grape

Heres how to be an agreeable chap
Love me and leave me in luxurys lap
Hop when I holler, skip when I snap
When I say, do it, jump to it

Send out for scotch, call me a cab
Cut me a rose, make my tea with the petals
Just hang around, pick up the tab
Never out think me, just mink me
Polar bear rug me, dont bug me
New thunderbird me, you heard me
Im getting hungry, peel me a grape


Aaaaaand to go with this one, by the same lady:

No cares for me
Im happy as I can be
I learn to love and to live
Devil may care

No cares and woes
Whatever comes later goes
Thats how Ill take and Ill give
Devil may care

When the day is through, I suffer no regrets
I know that he who frets, loses the night
For only a fool, thinks he can hold back the dawn
He was wise to never tries to revise whats past and gone

Live love today, love come tomorrow or may
Dont even stop for a sigh, it doesnt help if you cry
Thats how I live and Ill die
Devil may care

I bought a pocket computer phone instead of my broken Nokia. Now I`m lost to the real world forever...
I can type and draw with it) it`s a sort of an mp3 player and a rather good camera as well)) I`m glaaaaaaad))

Eight-oh-five.
It's useless to try
I guess you're leaving soon

I can't go on without you
To keep you would be so wonderful
To love you is so good
Here is my heart that I give

It's all that I have
Do you think you could try?
Please change your mind
Before my sunshine is gone
Do you think you could try?

Before my sunshine is gone
Please change your mind
Do you think you could try?
Do you think you could try?

Do you think you could try?
Do you think you could try?
See it through
You know your tears
Until I can prove it to you
Would only bring pain in my heart
Eight-oh-five.
Don't fill my world with rain

I guess you're leaving, goodbye...

(a Moby Grape song actually, lovely one)


Dark Moon
Oh, I love the feel of his money she yawned

One time I loved the feel of him

It was not until he was crucifed

That the benefits began

I love the feel of his money she yawned

One time I loved the feel of him

It was not until he was crucifed

That the benefits began

Oh, it's a Dark Moon Oh, it's a Dark Moon

For restoration I may baulk and churl

I have my standards to maintain

The angle I come from is quite absurd

The aggravation leaves a stain

In this Dark Moon In this Dark Moon Ooh

If I had the possession that I thought that I should

I never cease to amaze From the angle that she stands, so absurd so afraid

In this Dark Moon Oh this Dark Moon

In this Dark Moon Under this Dark Moon

Oh this Dark Moon, ooh Wait a minute, wait a minute

Woo! Oh well, oh well Oh oh oh oh

'Cos Watch your soul, watch your soul, watch your soul

Watch your soul, watch your soul, watch your soul

Watch your soul, for my self

(Haaaaaauntiiing!..)

The old man form the CD-store I always shop in promised me the 02 Arend DVD today. But it hasn`t arrived yet. So I made me a present in the shape of 2 Robert Plant`s remestered albums with bonus tracks - Fate Of Nations and Now&Zen namely. I don`t regret it a bit! "Rollercoaster" is a GREAT song, wonder why Robert never released it =\ And I finally have all the songs Robert recorded with the great late Rainer Ptecek, especially the over-slashy Dark Moon. Awwww))))

And studies are OVER))) Yess!!! Now I only have to kill one of my lecturers so that I don`t take his exam. But I`ll try the peaceful way first - you see, due to the marks I was receiving through the semester he HAS to free me from the exam.

I`m back. I MEAN it, I`m really solemnly gonna post here every now and then. I finally fought my way out of darkness into light.

Kisses to everyone who missed  me=)))))

Internet is an evil thing. 
Where did this WHOLE week go, huh?..
AND I have 3rd LJ account now.

avalon_unbound

I know, I KNOW I`ve been a lousy blog-keeper.  But  to pop up in the blog from time to time with an  update - that`s the point, innit? =)
Sure thing I`ve been facing some rought  times with deadlines at my job (and am this very moment) but it`s gonna be better very soon.

1. I missed you all here very much.
2. Yesterday I was finally officially back to the world of guitar playing. Half an hour of electric jazz  were pure concentrated happiness=)))
3. In the morning I`m literary "packing my bags for the misty  mountains..." for I`m going to see the magnificent old-European  city of  Lviv.  I can`t say I can`t wait for I`m going there not in the best company Lady Luck could have provided me, but I`m going still. And as far as I cann tell I`m not gonna return the same person I am now.

So still being sorry for my long absence and missing everyone (esp. zeppelin_slash community girls)  still have to say BYE for about a week.

And pray for me to return safely of you might never see the fic I`ve been plotting on for about a year now))) (no, it`s NOT that good, it just takes this much effort to write it)).

Love, peace,
K.

I`s so lovely and warm outsidem but I`m trapped home working. I`m a bit unwell, my nose is running and tears are rolling down. Damned  cold =( 
Nobody I`d care to talk to via ICQ is online, I`ve got shitload of work and my room and closet remind me of a place where some polce search took place. So, I guess I got to surrneder to her Majesty Fate and do some cleaning and working. But I`m soooooo willing to go out for a walk....
