saturday
so, here we are again. it’s been busy days, these first days of the new year, and i had a bad influenza which made working during the past week a rather unpleasant experience. i think i popped more pills than candy. the worst thing about it is that i didn’t go the the gym for a week 
speaking of the gym: i changed studios. i’m with a much cheaper chain now: the locker rooms are sparsely furnished and to take a 5 minute shower costs 50c. but they are open 24/7 (literally) and i’m saving 30€ a month. the only let-down is that their elliptical machines differ very much from those that i’m used to. they’re more a mix of a stair-master and a cross trainer, and my body is quite confused by the unfamiliar movements it is supposed to do. in these machines, it’s harder to get in sync with the music, and it is generally a little less enjoyable. but perhaps i’ll get used to it.
what else: oh yes! the new year started with a great surprise. it turned out (rather by accident) that a dear friend of mine has the most adorable and charming singing voice, and she agreed to add leading and backing vocals to a couple of 200 lurkers songs. in fact, when i heard the accidental recording she made it was like an epiphany : i suddenly realized that this was almost like a missing piece of a puzzle. the final ingredient that would push an ongoing alchemical process to its end.
well, a lot of other things have happened : the n-episode that started rather promising has come to an abrupt end, thanks to my astonishing talent to alienate people with the blink of an eye. i met b again by accident. and now we’re kindoflike on speaking terms. oh, and next week jamie is going to be a contestant on “who wants to be a millionaire”.
