clipped wings

This little hummingbird's wing are clipped this weekend - I'm house bound. As a result of a painful skiing stack last weekend, I currently have an oddly shaped left foot and a potentially torn ligament. Grrr! I have crutches, but the novelty wore off as soon as I crossed the living room floor! They're exhausting.

I'm determined to make the most of the weekend though! I'm currently surrounded by a pile of tattered and torn second hand books, an assortment of CDs, paints, a bunch of blank canvasses and masses of tasty fair trade coffee - yum! An indulgence in creativity! Who needs to be able to walk ? Ha - I scoff at you two-legged freaks wandering about, walking your dogs, bopping away at the pub, playing frisbee, and climbing mountains...

...anyway...

So what am I listening to? What's in my pile of random music? A mix of favourites and things I've been meaning to sit down and listen to in a while...

Duo Vertigo - Vertigo One
Milica ilic - Stir the Sky
Morton Feldman - Piano and String Quartet/ Aki Takahashi + Kronos Quartet
Liza Lim - The Heart's Ear
Bjork - Medulla
Bjork - Volta
Uncle Ho - Circus Maximus
Kid Confucius - Stripes
HÃ¥kon Thelin - A P)Reference To Other Things
Kappa - trio altraove 1.3
Philip Glass - The Essential Philip Glass
Ros Bandt - Stacks
Messiaen - Quatuor pour la fin du temps (Couraud)
Varese - Arcana/Ameriques/ionization (Boulez)

i guess expressing a certain element of envy would be a little perverse, but perhaps staging such an injury may be just the trick for having such a productive sounding weekend of artiness...

hope it's getting better though.
