Its not often that I enjoy an album as much as I do "The Crane Wife" by The Decemberists. Its not often I enjoy a band as much as them but this album is a masterpiece. To their credit, they've managed to sign with a more prominent label without it compromising their style, sound or integrity. Props for putting this into the world.

i try and photograph the lightning from the house with long exposures. its really a combination of getting into the rhythm of the storm, patience and pure luck.

this one was really lucky

pretty.

i was taught that lightning (and all electricity) follows the shortest route available?

If you've been to look at my photos you'd have gathered that we're (Simone and I) are expecting a baby. Tomorrow we may (or may not) find out whether it's male or female. Of course they may be wrong and we might get a different opinion in four weeks time so I’m taking it as it comes. My guess is that it’s a girl but I’d be over the moon with either.

This evening Alber, Simone and I went to a talk by Dr John F. Demartini and I was pleasantly surprised. I expected a futurist, an economist, a motivational speaker, I’m not sure what I expected but I certainly arrived expecting to hear an affirmation of what I already knew delivered with a side salad, cappuccino and a mint - well-oiled, slickly marketed personality. I’m not sure why my guard was up since the reason I went was that I had been impressed with an interview with him on 702. Anyway, well-oiled he was, at least well practiced. Well read, definitely. And well marketed, branded and merchandised but somehow what he said really sank in and resonated. Like higher-grade common sense. Like the truth well told. I’d definitely consider going on one of his programmes, just not the R20,000 one!
