Irish tunes, insomnia and writer's block.

Today's Soundtrack: we love you, now go home.


Get out those gift certificates, head out to your favourite local music store and purchase Emm Gryner’s latest effort, Songs of Love and Death. This is Irish covers at its best!

Winter temperature’s been plummetting, and so are my journal entries. I’m still getting used to the idea that a whole lot of strangers may be reading this “journal” of mine. But I’m trying to get over myself and remember that “I’m not that important” as a fellow blogger once told me.

So I have insomnia. What can I expect after developing such irregular sleeping patterns over the holidays? I’ve been keeping myself occupied with French films, Stephen King novels, and countless Friends episodes. No writing in my notebook, I’m afraid. I gave it a try a couple of times, but nothing sincere is coming out. I keep telling myself that the best thing in the world is to write badly for a while until the good stuff makes an appearance. I’ve been telling myself this since July.

If anyone’s got a surefire way to get rid of this writer’s block, let me know; I’m all ears.
