freedom from employers

A special note to!:Fellow travel mad people;who don't mind travelling slightly rough tracks,offbeat routes;getting lost and get soaked in culture.
here it the photo i was talking about. i was at a photo-shoot last year with the rock-poet patti smith and the french film director jean cocteau. i think the photo came out well, don't you?
I'm so glad you're enjoying the CD!
Life is still insane at the moment. I'm back in Oslo for a few weeks and I have my first International show in a week! Yikes!
Your life sound insane as well. But good things coming down the pipe for you, I hope! Please keep me posted!
I may be moving to Toronto for a good job, but I'll know for certain by the end of the summer. There's so much in the air at the moment. One thing is certain. I'm getting very itchy feet. I've been in Ottawa for four years now, and it's time to leave!
