February updates

Dear fellow humans, I hope you are having a splendid 2016 so far.

It's been a while since I wrote any decent posts, and haven't written any about zoological chronicles for a while either. Sadly, my animal encounters are limited to interacting with stray cats at uni and birdwatching. If I was less lazy, I would put up the photos of my favourite cats here, or talk about some issue concerning animals. That aside, I've recently spotted two fluffy spotted owlets in my uni. I'm still waiting to catch a glimpse of my favourite bird: the Indian Hornbill. In the meantime, there are plenty of oriental magpie-robins and rose-ringed parakeets to watch out for here. The magpie-robins have this sweet, high-pitched whistling vocalization I really love and I always stop by to listen. That is, until it transforms into the harsh grssssh noise. 

Speaking of noises, I did make a couple of tracks for this new thing I'm making called 'Human Core', and I posted one of them on Soundcloud some time ago. 

(the two downloads on this track, where did they come from?! Reveal thyselves, downloaders!)

Track 2 is almost ready, but I feel it lacks something, and I have plans to make it even better, but I lack the energy and motivation to add something more to it. I'm a little scared of ruining it, to be honest. But it needs another layer of something. 

Anyway, before I wrap up this post a few songs I'm currently listening to these days:

1) Lana Del Rey - West Coast (Ultraviolence)

2) MØ - Fire Rides (No Mythologies to Follow)

3) Gorillaz - Empire Ants (Plastic Beach)

4) Emilie Autumn - Juliet (Enchant)

5) First Aid Kit - Emmylou (The Lion's Roar) 

6) be steadwell - Hold me (Jaded)
7) Nadine Shah - Nothing else to do (Fast food)

Till next time then!

2016

A very happy New Year, folks.

I usually don’t set any resolutions for myself, but this year, I hope to spend a little more time outside the house. I can’t remember the last time I saw a sunrise or sunset. I’ve been busy not with projects of my own, but with random shit like cleaning and doing the dishes and working on my masters research. To be fair though, compared to 2014, I wrote more poems and stuff on my tumblr, I listened to more music –full albums as compared to random tracks here and there- whether old or new and surprisingly, actually took some photographs of myself. I tended to avoid cameras…but when I’m old and I probably won’t remember what I looked like when I was 23, I will be so grateful. I mean, this is what cameras are for, right? Recording moments? I’ll want to remember more than the cats I met, yeah.

Anyway, here's some good stuff to start the new year with.
