Tis almost autumn, my favourite time of the year. Obviously that sentiment doesn't stem only from the fact that I was born during this time, but also because autumn turns the heat of the summer into something a bit more acceptable. It's when the trees change their suits into more mature colours, when they all seem in anticipation of the bleak winter temperatures to come. It's when the wind picks up towards evening, and the sky turns pink and purple just before supper. Autumns just the perfect moment to get inspired. Some might argue spring is the best time for new beginnings and new thoughts (which is why the Japanese scholastic new year begins in April) but I'd say it's a bit too hurried and a bit too bright and colourful. Summer is too hot, winter too cold for the brain to grind its cogwheels and think.

In any case, I'll be publishing my story that I wrote during the vacations (The Keeper of the Phare), albeit with some revisions here and there. I'm also thinking about publishing one I wrote when I was 14 in NY entitled The Curious Antics of Mr. D.E. Morris. (I remember finishing the last chapter in Cancun, Mexico while on vacation. Why am I so inspired to write when I'm on holidays? Perhaps because I have little else to do...) It's got 9 chapters (25 notebook pages)! How on earth I managed to write it I will never know. I think I'll be following the same every Thursday method by 'publishing' a chapter or a section a week, if anyone's going to read it.

I'm also doing so major (well quite) music editing lately, during the time I'm procrastinating, so I'll be taking on a nickname to append to my repertoire of altered and snippeted music. It's been quite a while since I've fooled around with getting new nicks (last time it was Josh, before that was John) but now I think this one's a bit better: Kines. Read it as you like it, but officially its meant to rhyme with Guinness, as in key-ness. (It comes from the latin meaning 'movement') It's probably cooler though if you read it to rhyme with 'fines'.
