Independence......Day
What's been happening you ask?
Well let's see....
Still seeing J and G is hot on my heels to take her over finally after a couple of weeks musing over the loss of my affections, dates are lined up, M has a steady in his sights, work is ok, S from the UK is trying to recover her moves to me (and Adelaide), R is on my horizon though, career is a big thought at the moment, smoking is out (sort of), pacification of the soul is in, PC's give me the shits, Apples just work, SACD's, HTPC's, etc..
So let's start with SACD's. Well I'm enthusiastic about the dramatic improvement to listening to music for it's multichannel output and the sheer brilliance of tonal quality is unbelievable. Take for example the saxophone on Pink Floyd's DSOTM, it exuberates the sax to the point of sitting right in front of it in the recording studio, absolutely brilliant.
I've a keen eye to get some more albums but alas they are not so readily found in Adelaide. At the moment I'm looking out for Ladysmith Black Mamboza sacd which I've heard briefly at Sam's and this in itself exemplifies why we should listen, yes listen, to sacd's. The otherone to look for is Deep Purple's Machine Head in all it's glory. Although recorded in the well know back of a Rolling Stones mobile, it was the quality of the recording they achieved inadvertently.
Moving on with music and leading to Pacification...at the moment I'm quite enjoying listening to Rick Wakeman's trilogy of his new age cd's Country/Sea/Night Airs. The solo piano is beautiful and beckons you to listen, and listen, and LISTEN. Others of late are Sarah Brightman's Classics and Julio Iglesias' Tango. I find a certain peace in the solice of my unit alone in my own space without being a servant to my demons and their distractions.
It also lessens the burden of my quitting to smoke. Although there have been a few smokes at times, these are a far cry from the numerous volumes I used to smoke. Down to maybe 2 a night and at this stage none during working hours. The patches are a good idea and I've found I had to go for the stronger Nicobate 21's instead of the Nicorette 15's.
Why give up smoking? Well I figured there's a lot of benefits and not just cost or health, but rather with the current cycles of social dating I would be better placed to declare I'm a non-smoker and thus maybe find that someone who I can share in a relationship with. To that end for example I know I have to be smoke free on Thursday when I have a date with A to see the new Pirates of the Carribean folm with her. Albeit I'm also going to see it again on Sunday with JA in the Gold Class cinema. I'm sure I will enjoy it each and every time and more than likely for the movie than the company.
Thus this leads me to natter about the social life of the honourable Riker. Seeing JA at the moment although I feel that's not goign to go far, with her phobia for everything being right in her world and determination to be in control. Even to denounce bodily pleasures of a morning or even of a Friday night, when she rathers to be going home to her bed, alone, so she is up promptly to do the housework. Housework! Her place is spotless to rank so high on cleanliness to outshine the best of them. Not that it's a bad thing but come on, get a life.
And to be frank. I reckon I'm looking for someone like the Bev I saw a few times. Nice and petite, maybe family orientated than a social butterfly and can share the times and thoughts to each other.
S from the UK seems to be one person I can do the sharing of thoughts to but I've done my dash there and besides, she's in the UK.
She still hasn't got her broadband set up even with the gear sitting in her cupboard for nigh on a year now. She has a few things on the go right now least being her mum is not well and daily has to check to see if she is still here.
An Apple a day. Yes and stuff PC's, they give nothing but grief. More calls from people I've helped and hear out of the blue when they have problems....done Microsoft. Ha but touch wood I don't have the stress at all with the Mac, short of space. Sheer bliss really. And Leopard will be out soon enough.
Riker out....for now.
