Almost there

Today I (finally) officially became enrolled as a non-degree seeking student at the U of A. That meant that I could get the keys for the Grad rooms in the Philosophy department. I therefore now have a desk and off the back of that was invited to join a Metaphysics and Epistemology (Nature of things and theory of knowledge) reading group earlier this afternoon. It was nice to get into a seminar situation and have some back and forth with some well trained philosophers. They are a bright bunch here, sharp and engaged.

I have overdone things already at yoga. Strained my knee yesterday and I'm suffering today. Typical me. Find something positive to do physically and then overdo it straight away.

Having wrestled for a week with the bank out here, my payment to Apple finally went through and my laptop should arrive on Friday, so pictures should soon be up.

On the more exciting news front, the band with whom I have been playing have been confirmed to appear in an animated film which is in pre-production. The film currently entitled 'Mindville' is about consciousness and consciousness studies and the band will be appearing as their animated alter-egos 'The Brains'. We've been working on three songs for the film, one of which I wrote the music to the other day. We may have a cut-across live action/animation music video produced before I come home. We should also be paid to go into a professional recording studio to lay the tracks down. Very exciting!
