Things are going well with the Switzerland project and my tracks will be on iTunes within a couple of months - probably some on YouTube as well.

Today I tried to research European Radio Stations. Ideally I need to find a website that has contact emails for stations. If I can't find this it is going to be a difficult task indeed to reach the right contacts.[If anyone can find a site for me it would be helpful].

I'm also intending to write to a few record companies.

I can't exactly categorise the music I'm working on as it obviously has Classical influences and some New Age touches it's also more or less in a pop/rock form. I suppose each listener will define the category that they think it's in.

My producer, Mike Turtle is very excited about the project and we are recording with singer, Jessica Knoll next month (although some of the tracks are purely instrumentals).

I am going to Ryman's tomorrow to buy a Papermate pen that takes refills as well as a rollerball (don't know too much about these).

I also have a Parker pen here that needs a refill. And finally a Waterman fountain pen that needs a bit of TLC before it's going to start behaving itself again. Mr B gave me a couple of pointers that might work.

I'm only going to do things live from now on.

Earlier today I thought I'd cracked the meaning of life. After that I got a bit tired and dozed off for a while.

I notice in the news that three men who plotted to blow up transatlantic flights with liquid bombs will receive minimum jail terms of between 32 and 40 years.

I hope they've caught the right folks this time - even so, the sentences seem a little harsh. You would have thought that they could educate them in the ways of peaceful Western Civilization in 10 to 15 years.

Oh, and I had a friend for lunch. We went to Caffe Nero and discussed metaphysics and the Speed of Sound.

Apart from that, the day was somewhat more than usual compared to other 24 hour periods.

It's going to be 2010 soon, so let's all make it a great year!

I am so tired that it's like living in yesterday or tomorrow.

On the other hand, objects are observing the laws of physics and nothing unreal is happening.

Has the recession bottomed out now? I think you'd be quite an optimist to answer this 'yes'.
