I'm a few steps closer to getting to Morocco. I asked for February 12th-26th off from work. The plan is week or so of camping in the Sahara desert with a camel and guide, with visits to Casablanca, Marrakech, Rabat and maybe Tangier. Tangier seems like it should be mandatory considering it was the home of Paul Bowles. If this visit works out I have this wild dream that I vanish into the desert or follow a group of Sufi.

I went to the birthday/divorce finalization party last night. I had a good time seeing all sorts of new lj people. I'm continually surprised by the variety of people that use lj. performed and sounded really good for being in someone's dining room. , the lead singer, had this great rock with her cock out ferocity especially on their cover of "Angry Inch" from Hedwig.

I'm working on the new mix for December. If anyone wants one just email your postal address to twyl@gnumatt.org. The past two mixes have included Polyphonic Spree, Flying Saucer Attack, Sea Ray, Grails, Do Make Say Think, My Bloody Valentine, Air, Michael Nyman, Yoko Kanno, Can, Death Cab for Cutie, Neutral Milk Hotel, Belle and Sebastian, Pram, Dismemberment Plan, Atmosphere etc. I also grabbed a DVD burner this week so hopefully the mix DVD project of shorts, favorite scenes, my commentary, music videos and so forth will pan out.
