The Concert

So we had our concert on Saturday and contrary to my previous belief, I had really mall parts that I shared with many other people. But no. I have a BLOODY SOLO!!!! WHICH I GOT THE MUSIC FOR THREE DAYS BEFORE THE CONCERT!!!!!! Also, I've never really played in a concert before, so why the bloody hell did some bloody person think the give me a bloody solo!!!!

I'll never know.

Anyways, I was stressing and never actually played it with the whole band in the room except for the actual concert. We never practiced cueing me (because the bloody band director hates the percussion people and tends not to spend any time on us) and I had only slightly gotten the notes down about an hour before the concert started.

Knowing all this: here's how it went:

For the first two, Deck the Halls, and Spaghetti Dreams, I was perfectly fine. The parts were easy, I picked up on them in about five minutes, I felt good about it, my sound was really amazing, ad it just built up my confidence... until we got to Patapan.

To start it all off, I decided I wouldn't play anything but my solo and the ending scale because I hadn't practiced anything else an they were essentials. So, I only had two shots to get everything right. Also, there is so much bloody rest in it that I DEPENDED on my cue to tell my when to play because I would get lost in the counting. Then, I missed my cue.

Yes, I really did.

And to make matters worse, when she cued the timpanis behind me, I thought she was cueing me andI completely trampled a trumpet solo. I realized half way through what I was doing but couldn't pull off immediately because I was in the middle of the melody. So, I finished the line of melody I was on and pulled out, silently apologizing to the trumpet player right in front of me.

I royally fucked up.

But it's okay because nobody has the music besides me so no one knows I fucked up!!! Except the trumpet player, the percussion instructor, and the band director.... But even the rest of percussion didn't notice! I can' tell you how much I wanted to melt and seep through the cracks of the stage at that moment. I was so embarrassed!!!!!

1,000 pageviews

We hit 1,000 page views!!!! Yay!!!!! (Well, 1,001) So I'm going to work on the video of my cats and we''l see! It might be up in the next week or it might take me a month. Hopefully not that, but we'll have to see.

~R

So My Cat

My cat likes to mess around in my dresser and crawl up and down the back side of the drawers and into other drawers so I only had one of them open and she crawled in, crawled down o the lower one and then somehow managed to close the only open one and rap herself inside. I finally investigated the mysterious scratching noise and found this:

Bloody cat just peekin' out at me. Look at those eyes just begging you to let her out. XD Rukia, everyone, everyone, Rukia.

A little while later, her brother, Sebastian came along to help. Great going, cats.

It occurs to me that I have yet to introduce my cats to you guys. Maybe I could do that when I get a 1000 pageviews XD I only need 2 more and I was thinking of how to celebrate it so why not a video and cats? Perfect!!!!!

Arse Holes

So... today, this guy dropped by my flat. He was here for one of my flat mates who was doing basically an informal job interview and when they were done, the guy still had some time and I wanted to show the guy some stuff that I had done (it was an art interview.) I wanted some feed back and some tips on what I should work on. I didn't have my portfolio with me so I was just showing him some stuff out of my sketch notebook. The first thing that I noticed was off was that he just grabbed my sketchbook and started flipping through. This is a bit of a no-no in the art world because an artist's sketchbook is like their soul. It's a huge compliment if an artist lets you look in their sketchbook because it's basically their diary but with pictures. Every feeling and event that has shaped that person since they were old enough to pick up a drawing object is in that book (or another one, if they've gone through several.) Now this guy had been an art teacher for 45 years so I was kind of surprised when he just grabbed it and started flipping through with out me telling him if he could or not. He was either completely clueless and hadn't picked up anything over 45 years or he didn't care.

The next thing that irked me was that he told me I had to stop drawing anime. After this huge speech to my friend about how "people in art do the jobs because it makes them happy, not for money" he told me I had to stop drawing anime (completely) because it was childish and I would never get a job i it. He told me it wasn't doing anything for me. Now, I' mainly a cartoonist/ animator and a lot of what I do is anime. It doesn't only help me out there, but it helps me with head placements and stuff for realistic drawings. Basically, anime is what helps me figure out what I'm going to do for an actual drawing. Not to mention, I enjoy doing it! This was what really set me off.

He only complimented me once on a before sketch of a bust I'm doing. He really liked that. He said it was good because it showed I could think all the way around something, not just the face of it.

That was the only thing I got out of him.

Arse.

What Does The Fox Say // Percussion

So I've decided that I'm going to write a cool percussion piece to Ylvis's What Does The Fox Say. It's going to be AMAZING!!!!!! I understand if you don't like the song, but the piece is going to be really cool. When you listen to it (eventually) pretend like you haven't even heard it before. Anyways, I just wanted to remind you what it sounded like originally.

Happy Things

This a vid I watch when I need to laugh and right now, with my grandma, it would definitely come in handy.

Grandma Is Just... Ugh....

She's in the hospital. Again. Kidney failure.

So about a week ago, I went with my grandmother to go look at a nursing home for her. She's going to move in (hopefully) with her husband. Now, on this trip, (my granny's about 65 or so) we were being led around the campus by an 85 year old who was always stopping and talking with his buddies, and the other couple that was looking around with us were in their 80s and they both gardened and stuff but there's my grandma being pushed around in a wheel chair because she's so unhealthy.

This wouldn't really piss me off if it wasn't her fault. She's been chain smoking since she was about 16 (about a pack or two a day) and she's diabetic but doesn't care about what she eats, and she doesn't exercise whatsoever! Her hips and knees are bad, she was in the hospital about a month ago because of really bad clogged arteries (the ones that took blood to her brain!!!) but she still doesn't care about anything that really obstructs her health!

We've tried to help her and she doesn't want it. Now, in a few years, she's probably going to die. She's probably going to keel over before I get out of college!!!! She's not going to see me get married, or have children, or even have my first real job! She's not going to see anything I do and she won't be around to tell me about anything she ever did! All I'll have are a few paintings that she did a while back!

It scares me how fast it's happening.

It took a long time to edit this time because my internet kept crashing. Damn technology.

Chuck Norris is a Mongol

So my History teacher's name is Mr. Norris. He like the Mongols. Hence the title.

Anyways, my friends and I call him Chuck but I don't think he's ever heard us call him that before. But I walked by him today and said "Hey Chuck!" and he kind of smiled and waved but then realized what I called him and I watched as his face fell into a mixture of confusion and "Gurl, you did NOT just call me dat."

MOOzik and WATERMELON!!!!!!!!!!

So my band is doing a winter concert and I'm part of percussion. I though that I would be out of town for the concert (or really I said that just to get out of actually doing anything) and now, they've "found out" I will be in town and have assigned me parts. Let's see, I have three (technically four) pieces.

1. Patapan (I play bells for this one)

these bells not

these bells.

2. Serengetti Dreams (or spaghetti dreams)
I play really any mallet instrument for this one. We haven't decided yet but I'm pretty sure I'm going on vibes for this one.

3. Deck the Halls
I play Marimba (my favorite) for this one.

So this isn't really a big deal except for the concert is on Saturday and they have yet to give me the music for it!!!!! I don' sound terrible (we did some run throughs yesterday) but I don't particularly sound fine either... IDK we'll have to see....

Also, for the fourth song, there isn't any percussion that plays in it so the band director is making us sing. TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS SONGS!!! So... this kind of goes against my religion....

The one upside is that, if we don't know the words, the director said we could fake it and sing "watermelon" instead. The entire time we were rehearsing, I didn't hear one verse sung correctly. It was more like

"Hark the Herald angel sings WATERMELON, WATERMELON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Watermelon, watermelon watermelon watermelon!!!!!!"

What was even funnier was the fact that the percussion instructor was singing with us and he was belting our "WATERMELON!!!" louder than the rest of percussion combined. I couldn't sing half the time because I was laughing at him.

It was kind of fun though.
