I hate when that happens. They put too much damn dye in those things!
I know, it's ridiculous! It freaked me out--when I slid them off and looked down at my legs, it looked like I was covered in bruises. Yuck! Glad I wasn't, though. Woulda shoulda coulda hurt like hell.
So, you're playing with the Symphony????
No, not quite, alas. I took my students there on a field trip. They listened to the BSO rehearse for 2 hours, then my kids took the stage, and I conducted (in the Myerhoff Symphony Hall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) some pieces. Some members of the BSO gave us comments, encouraged the kids, etc., then we did the same thing with jazz band. Adjudicators/clinicians, etc..... We spent the whole day there, and it was just an unbelievable experience for my kids. Very, very cool. :D

OMG, that is so awesome! I hope the kids enjoyed it too. It's always wonderful to play in a great hall like that. I've played in some really sucky places, which is even worse for bass clairnet. When you play with everyone and can't hear half the band/orchestra, it makes for a really weird sound.

When i was in a school play my skirt caught in my boxers and the local visiting all-girls school saw my Fred Flintstone kecks. It wasn't till i was finished my scene that any bastard had the decensy to tell me. I hated my school days.

After all that, I really have a new appreciation for what dial-up users go through. It'd been so long since I'd last used such a slow connection I'd forgotten what it's like.

This one's stupid: I'm trying to sing along to my MP3s (don't worry, I only do this when no one's around. My boyfriend Dave thinks my singing's beautiful, but he's biased as hell! LOL) right after waking up, but my vocal cords are gummed up, causing my voice to crack and bounce all over the place! And the degunking is taking too long... :roll:

And no, it's not because Dave cummed down my throat! :shock: Although I wouldn't mind that much... :wink: :twisted:

Ouch!!!

Update on my voice: Ended up choking on the last few drops of something called 'SoBe Adrenaline Rush' I was drinking. Think of it as a hyper-acidic orange juice with super-powerful energy boosters...

EDIT: The acid cleaned my vocal cords! I can sing again!!! :shock: :D :D :D

What's worse is that my biological clock tells me sleep comes at 630 in the morning or evening, depending on how long I've been up. It's 1046 AM. I've been up for an hour. I feel like shit. I've got a headache coming on that may or may not quickly turn into a cluster headache (which sucks even more).. Egh, I'm fucked and I need to get laid.. BAH.

Well, aside from still having not a girlfriend and having the realization this week that my boss is not going to get the funding needed to pay for my job, its been a great week. The first has been ongoing for years and the second shouldn't be too hard to fix (assuming a couple of other people are telling me the truth).

It's snowing! I mean, if it's snowing in the winter, I'm happy about, it should snow in the winter. But definately NOT in the end of fricking April! It was 20 degrees outside just four days ago, and now it's snowing. Great.

My body clock seems to run in a similar fashion. Though right now I cant relate to the rest of it.

My cellphone charger went tits-up, so the battery on the phone ran out and made that go tits-up...

Fucking cheapass cell phone chargers.

Worse: The power brick on the charger is designed so that it's skinny enough not to block other outlets on a power strip... but, get this: THE FUCKING PLUG IS ARRANGED EXACTLY THE WRONG WAY SO IT COMPLETELY NULLIFIES THIS DESIGN FEATURE, SO INSTEAD OF BLOCKING NO OUTLETS, IT BLOCKS THREE!!!!!!
