Burning the Proverbial Candle?

Yesterday I seemed to be so darn tired that by the time I got home at about 5.30ish, I just flopped on the bed. Next thing I know it's 8pm and Mackala is saying goodnight to me.

I know I've been feeling a little tired lately, but that was ridiculous. At least I was resting, which perhaps can be considered as refueling time.

I haven't written in this for a few days and I'm beginning to feel like I've been neglecting something I said I was make an effort to do. We're going to Melbourne tomorrow, so that'll make it more difficult for me to write every day, but I'll endeavour to do so nonetheless.

I think the early starts (which don't really mix well with me) are beginning to catch up with me. Last week we didn't watch any old episodes of Angel (one of our favourite shows... of which I have all five seasons on DVD), but this week we've seen three or four episodes already. We've been keeping up the daily devotionals and bible reading, but some of the other things have probably slipped back in... that'snot to say we can't sit and watch an episode or two now and then. I think the late night Angel episodes and the early rises are probably buring my proverbial candle a little quickly.

We're off to Melbourne tomorrow, so most of tonight I envisage will be centred around preparing for the trip. Noone has packed yet, and we haven't really thought about what we need to take. I know I need my footy tickets... but other than that, we'll work it out tonight.

I'm hoping to get some time to do a bit of songwriting soon. I've had a song that I wrote back in December that still doesn't have lyrics. I think it's a good song (of course, I'm bias), but it's lacking lyrics (which makes it kind of hard to sing). Having recorded Undying Love already, although it still needs mixing and mastering, I'm keen to get a few more tracks down soon too... which will mean I'll be needing new material soon enough. This means songwriting is required.

Hopefully Purify My Heart will be put down next. That sounded the best I've ever heard it a couple of weeks ago when I sang it during a meeting at Oakden. I think it really needs to be done as a full-on ballad... with keys, rather than the power ballad I was initially going for. I think it works in both contexts, but the mellow version is just a haunting version of the song that can really delve deep. Looking forward to hearing how it comes out when it's finally recorded.
