Lumpen

September 1st, 2009

I am currently lying in bed, exhausted after all the weather. Today I went outside into the Totally Regular Looking weather, to be immediately attacked by a freak hailstorm. Sky chucked ice onto self. Not very impressed. Am now back home, lying down and formulating a shopping list (on my iPod), writing this blog entry (on my iPod) and drinking peppermint tea (via the iNfusions for iPhone application). (Not really.) I appear to be Technology Induced Lumpenness Personified. But appearances deceive. I am actually quite excited – I’m just internalising it.

Excitement is due to the imminent arrival of a midi pedalboard (which is one octave of a giant piano keyboard layout, which I can play with my feet*). Potentially I may be able to do this lying down as well. I suppose this means I retain lumpenness status after all.

However, am now going to physically go to the supermarket, rather than continuing in current paradigm and ordering online. Not convinced is good idea though. Too much weather out there.

*in theory. Not sure whether initial attempts will be listenable.
