Nov. 8th, 2003 11:15 pmHad a good day - talked to a couple of friends, which lightened my mood considerably. The worst thing about being in a dismal mood is that I get nothing done, which just makes me feel worse. So hopefully now I can get back to being useful again.
I've also been downloading a lot of random tracks recently to try and discover some new bands and have stumbled upon some doom metal classics. Some of this stuff is amazing, reminding me of when I first heard Paradise Lost on TV in 1993. I'd never heard anything so intense in my life before. I still love classic metal and melodic death metal but I think that, as a genre, doom metal just has that extra something.
I also had another go at the vocal-recording thing the other day, and Mr Other Guitarist guy claims that I "can actually sing". So maybe things aren't as bad as I thought... except for the probable need to buy an expensive microphone and mixer/pre-amp. This is all holding up the recording of the track, which is slightly irritating.
I had this revelation the other day, that I know about so many people by reading journals of friends, and of their friends... and these people probably don't know me because I'm of no interest, relatively. People I see in the pub or club, or around town... I know a lot more about them than would normally be possible. For example, I surprised my housemate by knowing quite a lot about the girl he met at some party last night, despite her only moving up here a couple of days ago. I'm sure all this knowledge would put me in a position of power if I was only outgoing enough to be able to somehow use it. Hmm.
