Fiona Is Coming

had only heard a week or so ago that the long-awaited 3rd album, “Extraordinary Machine”, was being re-done with a different producer. Well, apparently it’s all done and Team Fiona is already launching all the new websites, artwork, promotions, etc.

For all you who thought it would never happen, there it is.

While I’m here, I might as well try to think of something purposeful…
Hmm, I weigh more than I ever have in my life thus far. I can’t exactly determine how that happened, but I think it’s due to sitting in this chair all day with no job and no school.

I have taken on a project of designing a corporate website for a company out of Allentown. More news on that once I am hired (hired = they like a design and tell me to build it) — But that on top of a large project consisting of 200+ photo restorations… which 140 or so got wiped out with the hard drive… I have reason to sit here all day, at least. Yes. I was more than half way done the project when I lost everything I had been working on. I’m still waiting to hear if I can recover the data. If my friend at The Geek Squad can’t do it, I have a program that just might be able to get it off the drive. But I haven’t heard from him in a week and a half.

Saw my old friends, Shanon and Jaclyn a couple times recently. I knew them from hosting the karaoke shows when I first started going back in January ’04. It’s Shanon’s company that is giving me a try on their website.

You might think- No. I might think my mind is blank as I have no deep thought or revelation to convey today or anytime recently. I’m scared about that. Have I reached a plateau? That right there is one of the first questions I’ve asked myself in ages. We should always be questioning ourselves. I see I’m not growing. So, yes… I have reached a plateau. But I won’t be here long. Just wading around in the dead pool, so to speak. Not much I can do at the moment. Need some structure. Need some routine. Need to be needed. Need to have cause. Need a cause. Missing the tangible poetry that used to be so blatently in my face, full of misery and beauty. I loved it. I loved it all.

Yeah, my questions sometimes get answered before I have time to think of the question.

I really should just sit down and write more. We all should. And never stop questioning yourself or you’ll never get anywhere. Trust me on this one.
