Ok...Breathe

Soon it will all be over. The first three days of this week will be behind me. And then it will be Saturday again...and I can start to feel like a human rather than a robot-octopus-clarinet- machine.

Trrrrouble.

Had an interview today... and I've applied to three other places. I haven't heard from the others. That bothers me. The only problem with the place that I'm applying to work now is that it doesn't begin until May 22; so what do I do for work for the month before? I have to pay rent somehow... I doubt I can start earlier; but ... maybe I can find a job for a month at some place that really needs it. Telemarketer or Panera... something. G-d always provides, though. I have no doubt in that. It will all work out. But there's another job that I just applied for, and I think it'd be a better deal. I really want that one, but I just sent in the application a couple days ago, so I can't contact them for another week... So I'll just sit and wait until then. This week... a project's due. I'm running behind. Gosh. Have to step it up. But I also have this beautiful distraction on one side... and it's hard to really step it up.

I'm just getting myself into more and more trouble, aren't I?

Ok...so I'm kidding. But right now I do believe this man is dangerous. And if I had some magic bullets.....

Life's Rich, Man!

Micheal and I were going to go clarinet hunting today. But my car is going to cost too much to get fixed. So I'm going to suck it up and deal with the piece of shit Yamaha A clarinet I have.

But ya know, on the upside, at least I have an A clarinet. And I'm signing a lease on Monday. And I know what I'm going to do this summer. And life is rich.

Miracle, Please?

I'm praying that I make it through the next couple of days. In fact, the next couple of weeks.


I have a lot to accomplish in a short amount of time. So maybe I need to change my habbits? Who knows. I think maybe I just need to "get 'er done".

Working girl?

So I am trying to find work to do over the summer... so while I'm applying other places, I'm quite avoiding the work that I need to get done now. It isn't good. I can't take summer break 3 weeks early... Okay. After tonight, I'm really going to get my butt into gear. Really.

Tropicoso

I went salsa dancing at the Tropicoso in Newport with Rachel and Allysa. It was awesome. I had a great time. I loved the live music and the dancing. Reggatones were fun too. I danced with some good dancers and then there were some old Mexican guys that hardly moved and were really bad at leading. There was one man that kept asking me to dance and after going through three dances in a row my feet were killing me and I decided it was time to take a break. He was offended and he came over to my table and wanted to give me a number of someplace to go to learn salsa. Then I was offended so he started talking to Carmen (a singer at the tropicoso) in Spanish and she told him to get lost. I had fun dancing with the girls. I think I'll definitely go back lots.

Hunting

It's funny how life happens. How your not always sure what to expect.







I'm looking at apartments today. I really hope I like something I see because the process of finding some place to live is tedious and tiresome. And I'm ready to be done. Over. No more. The end.

Home Warm Home

Today it's supposed to be 81 degrees F in Oklahoma. I really miss that kind of weather. At least we have sunshine in Cincinnati.

I want a new Clarinet

I watch my pennies closely. But my piggy keeps eating them. Thankfully. My piggy isn't fat though. He's just hungry. Oh stupid piggy. Why don't you go grow a money tree?

All Schickele Mixed-Up

I just finished a concert with Peter Schickele. It was a blast. The Octoot was amazing. And the grand piece was a smash. PDQ Bach himself was quite a riot. And Professor Schickele was quite adept at keeping him incheck. The melodies were familiar of course. At times becoming odd and lost in translation...Or perhaps becoming confused with other familiar melodies; all of them creating a harmonious cacophony of intermixed chaos and laughter. The concert was fun. And I enjoyed gurgling on the final Bb in the second movement. The audience enjoyed it as well.

I'm seeing it

Uh oh...

UHHHH!

This Week I'm going to KICK ASS!
