There's no wind without win.

I thought I'd take the time to write since I have to sit around all day. Today is the day we have to do our uni summer project for starting 3rd year. It involves inventing a device that will record the changes in a sensory element throughout the day 21/06/09; the summer solstice; the longest day of the year. The only reason I can see for them choosing this day is to force us to work for the maximum daylight hours possible. Nice of them.

Anyway, my project is to record wind force and direction at my chosen site; Belvedere Hill in my local park. The main idea is to highlight that there are many other important sensory experiences involved in architecture other than the obvious, the visual. Pretentious claptrap, but interesting in its own way.

So I dragged myself out of bed at 03:00, but decided that it was too early and instead started at 05:00. My experiment runs 'til 23:00 tonight and I've got to say I'm fed up. Mainly because of the ironic situation I find myself in: the one day that I NEED wind, is the one day that there is NONE! Christ on a stick! This is Scotland, there's ALWAYS wind! Sod's Law eh?

It's good that I get a day off work for this project though! I get to sit and listen to music all day whilst looking at a homemade wind registering device and occassionally changing the paper on it. I'm finding myself falling deeper in love with a band called The Hush Sound. I just can't get enough of them and would recommend them to anyone. If you want something bright and breezy, but with interesting lyrical undertones then get stuck in! I haven't been this excited about a band since I was made aware of Alter Bridge. Now there's a band! They are the best band I've ever seen live. Excellent gig.

I've hit a snag...the pen on my device has run out, and the back-up pens. crap. I suppose I better try and retify this...
