mondays
Monday, January 12th, 2009Well, no two ways about it, it’s Monday. That means two things. One, you can listen to the excellent pop/rock radio programme Dept. 13 on CKUW 95.9 FM (or online at CKUW.ca). Two, you are probably going back to work this morning after a weekend of relaxation and/or debauchery.
I myself got little done this weekend beyond the serious work of enjoying myself.
I’ve mentioned before the oppressive spectre of an interminable winter that lies over us here in Winnipeg in January. Perhaps it is a way of combatting this spectre that I find myself making efforts to initiate new projects, ones in collaboration with other people, so as to add social enjoyment and, indeed, accountability.
In the last week, I’m pleased to say I’ve made the inital steps toward two such collaborations. Neither is craft-related, you might be surprised to know. One is creative writing-related and the other is music-related; that’s all I’m prepared to say at this point. But it feels good to have these things out there and on their way, even in the most preliminary fashion.
It feels good to begin.
