I’ve been doing battle with the heat and also with a cold. It hasn’t been a pleasant couple of days, but I’m surviving well enough. I have not, however, stopped longing for the fall.
In Halifax this week The Halifax International Busker Festival 2004 (which has a poorly designed, difficult to navigate website that should not discourage you) is taking place. I have fond childhood memories of seeing the buskers, but I recall it becoming a bit repetitive in later years. I’m thinking of giving it another chance tomorrow afternoon, at least to see a couple of the musical acts, notably Laliya, “an instrumental fusion of traditional instruments played in a contemporary style. The ambient tones of the Appalachian dulcimer are played through modern digital effects combined with the percussive rhythms of didgeridoo and djembe.” I’ve listened to a couple tracks and enjoy them, so I’d like the chance to hear them on the street or, more accurately, the waterfront.
I must confess I’ve developed quite a musical infatuation with P.J. Harvey. Her newest album is immensely enjoyable and I can’t seem to stop listening to it. I couldn’t do it justice in my cold-induced haze, but trust that it’s superb.

I have a cold, too, I think. I don’t know. I feel ugly. I’d like to go to the Buskers, though. I’ll be around on Yahoo in case you want to talk to me and arrange something.
I hope you feel better soon, Apollo!
Summer colds are the pits.
*extra warm hugs*
Thanks.
I think I would rather extra cold hugs, though, it’s way too hot out.
i love PJ. she’s amazing! Though i preferred her last couple of albumns to this one.
Tina L.
Thanks. I’m sorry I haven’t written much here.
Well, now I feel loved. Will you be coming onto AIM tonight?
I always miss you. Seriously, talking to you is a highlight of my nights.
I look forward to the survey and cackling (though I’ll have to do little of the latter because of my sore throat).
I will go read it right now.
Hurray for lolipops. 🙂
I miss you.
:'( things have been awful lately and I’ve been having different feelings. I wish we could be together..but, it seems it is now impossible. 🙁
I love you.
I love you too Ashley.
I don’t know exactly what your mixed feelings are. You know mine.
