Last night it was -7.8 degrees celsius. Thanks to my trusty electric blanket I did not feel this as much as I could have, but holy hell. It’s been a while since it’s been that cold.

I have just completed a renovation of sorts of my lounge room. Tax return money came in and it was decided that furniture, TVs and theatre systems needed to be purchased. I now have a 50inch plasma. 50 frigging inches! It was colossal when first setting it up, but now when we watch it we’re kinda like.. meh, it’s kinda small now.

Really, if you think a tv like that would be way to big in your lounge-room, believe me, after a while it becomes rather normal.

So I am so so happy about the way that room is set up now. I bought a mid level Yamaha system for home theatre, it’s nothing fancy pants but it is plenty for my non audiophile ears. I want quality sound, but don’t want to blow my neighbours heads off either.

The first thing that flashed on my pana plasma was Captain Jack, much nicer in full faced wide-screen 50 inch goodness mind you, very nice. It really is lovely. I feel kinda weird for loving my electronic equipment so much. I have no insecurities in getting over them and giving it a big squeezy hug, cept for the fact that it might get smudged. It’s still in a very fragile “new baby” state you know.

I am playing second finger notes on violin now. Still love it, although when I sound crap, I get pissed off with myself and want to sound amazing. I need to be ultra patient, I’m not that at all.

I am thinking about a change for shadowmuse, renovate the website, new wallpaper and stuff. I guess I go through phases with needing to write and I need to write more often now but this design and all this feels jaded. I need a fresh page.
