Wake Me Up When It's All Over

I am completely and totally obsessed with the new Avicii track "Wake Me Up" - it's the perfect eclectic blend of indie rock and EDM.  Also, because the lyric is entirely relevant to the last two weeks of my life.

I've been uncharacteristically quiet and also not at all active with this project in the last two weeks largely because I sustained a minor concussion and a small cut in the most ridiculous of ways involving samurai swords falling onto my head (seriously, I can't even make this up).  Given that, I've spent a lot of my free time relaxing and also doing various mental exercises (words with friends, jigsaw puzzles, etc.) to try and regain some neural connections.  I can't even imagine taking hits like the guys in the NFL do, because even with a minor concussion, I was wobbly the first day and then had trouble recalling common sayings for the next several days.  I definitely felt dumber than usual. 

To add insult to injury, just as I was feeling better and more myself post concussion, I started developing a kraken of a head cold and spent the better part of the last few days sleeping an inordinate amount of time... so much for the four-day weekend.  In any case, I think I've finally beaten the cold into submission just in time to clean, cook, and do laundry for the upcoming work week.

I have done some reading on the subject of filters and I think I'll be ordering some soon, will post about my learnings later.  More adventures to come in the next few weeks, just felt like the silence merited a post.
