None too shabbily, Pat. Am now sleeping from 8 in the morning til 3 in the afternoon, don't actually have too much work, but somehow still get into at least three work crises a week, my liver is curling up and weeping in a corner and I'm learning a lot about classics, which is nice. And being away from home is just fantastic, and there are a number of pretty cool people. And the libraries here are pretty awesome, and Oxford's a really, really nice town/city.

No idea what I'm going to do when I'm back home in a week's time. Probably sit on PA for umpteen hours a day because noone else will be around.

Anyway, life is good.

How goes it chez Padrigo?


Sounds pretty close to what I remember LOL

Over here, insanely busy with lots of travel in the next two months, unfortunately.  But I'll be home for Christmas with my kids so it's all good.  Celebrating the wife's birthday today.  Smile

Also, perhaps shame on me, but after struggling with it for 3 hours already, I really believe making funny par-moral commercials (in German), advertising learning German, is what God wants me to accomplish in this life.

Yeah Rob, Oxford is a nice place. Make sure you get the sticky toffee pudding at The White Horse (it's by Blackwell's, I think), it's amazing. However, as an American I may only think that because it is foreign to me. I really wish we had Cornwall Pasties in America, they're awesome and practical.
 
I have a problem with liberally sprinkling pop songs into prog because I usually don't want to listen to pop songs. Maybe one day that will change.


Cornish pasties. Wink

Will check The White Horse out... have to admit I've only been to a few of the nearer pubs (St. Hugh's is a fifteen minute walk from the centre and alcohol/food is way harder to afford outside the college bar/hall). Cornish pasties are truly heroic. I'm basically living off those, soup and the calories in gin.

I love pop songs because I'm weak-minded. My main gripe is people who presume that innovation derives from or relates to length or squeakiness. I respect Henry's hardcoreness, but anyone who thinks, say, I Know What I Like is somehow not innovative compared to Fallen Angel or something equally passable is wrong.


I lived off Ginsters Cornish Pasties at University.  The University shop (also next to Blackwell's) also had a Ginsters Microwave. LOL

For anyone who cares (you know who you are!), Polar Bear will be releasing their 4th album "Peepers" in March.

I've heard 5 tracks from the album and they were fantastic.

Drunken Pharoah was possibly my favourite from the forthcoming album.  You'll be well pleased with it, Pat.

What are they like?

Edit:  also, the American band or the British "post-jazz" band?

Same as before, I think you're doing some cool stuff for the respective style.
