### Updates

I'm not going lie friend, it has been a *rough* couple of weeks. 

I picked up some kind of stomach bug about 10 days ago, and only today (Sunday) am I starting to get over things. 

I missed a gig I really wanted to get to, I missed the Christmas party at work and I missed some days at work - but finally this week I could work from home and try and catch up with a few things. 

I watched an extraordinary amount of daytime TV, mainly things I didn't have to concentrate on and slept a lot - which is unusual these days. I have found it all a bit depressing, and I'm working to get my mojo back. 

*This is the last time we shall speak of this.*

**Reading**. Nick Cleggs 'How to fix the Internet'. No progress. 

### Recommended Music

I haven't listened to a *lot* of new music this week, but one album that I did focus on was the new release from Sega Bodega. 

'I Created The Universe So That Life Could Create a Language So Complex, Just To Say How Much I love You' is a huge title, for a beautiful album of ambient electronica that mostly matches up to its grandiose naming. 

Feature Vashti Bunyan, Mayak Alkhateri and Lucinda Chau among the collaborations included, this is a fantastic album that is well worth your time.   
  
**Highly recommended.** 

### Listened Stuff

- Sega Bodega
