Hey everyone.

First off, Happy 2013 - I hope the new year has been treating you well!

Things have been busy on this end and unfortunately not on music. I'm on track for getting my degree at the end of this calendar year and that's kept me incredibly busy. Work is going well - they're pretty happy with me and it looks like I'll have a job with them once I'm out of school.

feartree helped me get an Oxygen 49 keyboard and I plan on buying FL Studio as soon as the semester is over. I'm ready to start making my own music instead of just mixing other folks' creations. No idea where that'll take me, but I want to give it a try. :)

Looking at the last journal I wrote, two Pawcasts have been released since then. If you didn't know, you can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes so you don't have to wait for me to write about it and share the links here - just search "Kainu Pawcast" and you'll find it.

For those of you going to Furry Weekend Atlanta: Still In Love in a couple weeks, I'll see you there Saturday evening at 1 AM.

Here are MP3's for the past two Pawcasts:

Episode 54 is a lot more chill than 53, but I think I prefer it between the two. BT's new tune "Skylarking" is spot on - I'm hopeful that it's huge positive reception suggests that as a direction trance will slowly slide into. I like where we are right now.

I hope this journal finds you well. Stay warm if you're where it is cold and smile, Spring'll be right around the corner. (Don't forget to change your clocks back next weekend!)

Peace,
