I usually start every day with some quiet time, but when there's a pronounced, definite, and persistent bio/spiritual trough, like biorythms gone batty, of course I have to do something else.
Today I turned to one of the most spiritual sounding artists, Jimi Hendrix. I made my Electric Ladyland LP MP3s, not tracks just sides. Side 3 is best for this, leading to side 4.
But now I'm writing this, so I'm somewhat distracted. It's extremely difficult to write on an iPod keyboard.
