Well, my two weeks' leave is coming to an end - and have I managed to do everything that was on my list? No way! So much for trying to plan things. I've done a lot of sleeping, a fair bit of listening (got stuck on Prokofiev's Symphony No. 3 which I had trouble concentrating on - in the end I had to move on to No. 4 which I've been enjoying and Shchedrin's "Merry Ditties" Concerto for Orchestra, which despite its twee name is actually a pretty cool piece of music - some awsome effects in there with muted pianos and whatnot), made a couple of cakes (but no new recipes).

I went to the Bill Henson photographic exhibition last week, which was somewhat fabulous, although somewhat creepy and overwhelming in places too. Some really awesome work though - quite humbling. I also dropped in on ArtExpress, which had some really superb work this time round.

Didn't make it to The Motorcycle Diaries but I did finally get to see Sideways which comes with my highest recommendation.

Uni went back this week, and I can see now that I'm unlikely to have a life for the next few months - between Introducing Audio Production and New Media Aesthetics, it's going to be pretty full-on. If you're interested, I'm starting a mini blog to cover off my thoughts on the assorted topics we'll be going over dealing largely with new media and sound art. Hopefully, this will help to keep my thoughts somewhat in order as I do my weekly NMA readings and help out with the final essay!
