I had been prepared for this gig the entire week. Reved up and ready to go, fully motivated and well rehearsed. I had enjoyed the break I had from the close to daily gigs in the St. Patrick's Day season, so my tank was full so to speak. :)

We drove up to the cities, stopped briefly at the Raptor Center to drop off some eagle stool samples and a ( Read more... )

Am I the only one who didn't have a rubbish weekend? It would seem that way by how my contemporaries have behaved ( Read more... )

 So for lack of a better topic, I'l be attending movie night tonight most likely, and tech tomorrow... all morning... because I am the designated painter when Chelsea is not here.

That said, I have really nothing else to say or do, so this will be a very meager journal entry. 

I made these Freddie icons for Rowan. I like making icons. I used to do it more often back when I had more time, but I still do it as a hobby. I made all of my Mozart mood icons you've seen. :D

Here are the Freddie ones I made for you, Rowan. You should be able to just grab them like you would any other image.

 I'm making a graphic novel of the fictional encounter between young Mozart and Kaspar Weiss entitled "Prodigy". When I have them all colored and edited to my liking, I'll post them to my deviant art account here:

If any of you have seen "The Red Violin", then you know exactly who I'm talking about. That cute ( Read more... )

I repeat: I hope I get REALLY sick between May 4th and May 20th ( Read more... )

First of all... I need to apologize for the previous entry. Like many things written here on the Livejournal realm, it was written in a whirlwind of blind and furious anger. Homeschooling, as anything else in this world, has it's ups and downs. Merits and demerits. Credits and Debits. It isn't an altogether horrific thing, and I regret portraying ( Read more... )

Today, I failed.

I told Geoff that I'd come to his baseball game. He had come to a few of my gigs, and I wanted to return the favor. So... I told him I'd come.

Problem was, he didn't tell me which field it would be in. I arrive at the school, and Nolan tells me that games are always held at the city park, so I hitch a ride with Vicky and Jessica to ( Read more... )

My mother's birthday was today. April 8th. We watched the movie "Slum Dog Millionaire". The film won the oscar for "best picture" this year, so we thought it was worth seeing. A touch sad perhaps, but it had a kinda-sorta happy ending. I chatted with both Ben and Geoff using "meebo facebook" because my regular chat wasn't functioning. (I suspect it ( Read more... )

Some days I feel dead... and I don't imply that I'm tired or sick, or even like I'm invisible. I just feel... dead. It's odd. Like when I was out raking leaves today, I felt the wind blow against my skin. I thought to myself, "If I was dead, I wouldn't feel this." Then I went on to list other things I wouldn't feel if I was dead. The sun's warmth, ( Read more... )
