Still need to play around with the scrolling and such, but I think this is how I'm going to want it to look. Eventually I'll add another little area with links to my friends and the like, but for now, this is it! Not much musically going on. Follies dress reahearsal went well, the few audience members we had seemed to enjoy it. I'm hoping that after this weekend I'll have a few more gigs with The Pentimento Trio. Tomorrow, I prep for my Sweeney audition, practice A Wand'ring Minstrel I with Randy's accompaniment (song I'm singing for the Midterm Recital at WVC), and then find some time to go over O Dolce Del Ardor or whatever the hell it is. Christ, that song is hard. AND I was supposed to go photocopy music today for Randy. Dammit. Guess I get to do that between Psyche and Math. La. Time to listen to some glamrock and have a snack. :D Wednesday, October 13, 2004: Bandwagon. Since apparently everyone is doing one of these things nowadays, I've decided to make this journal as a detailing of my musical exploits. Hence the sort of pretentious username. Whatever, I can pretend I'm pretty if I want to. :( David Bowie I'm not, I s'pose. I'm laggging behind in my music theory work. I'm almost finished with Chapter 4 (due last week) and I'm about halfway done with Chapter 5. I guess I'll get all caught up with that this weekend...luckily the last quiz I got some extra credit on, so I hope that that'll help me out with this lagging thing. You'd think since I'm majoring in Music that I would be on top of this stuff, but I guess it's not in my nature to do so. :) It's interesting stuff, but having to do all this shit at 1:48 in the morning, you brain just starts to disappear. I really can't look at chords anymore right now. Heh, maybe this is what composing is going to be like? Christ. Follies opens this weekend, preview audience tomorrow night. I think the show is ready. Well, let me rephrase: I know I am ready, I don't think I'm going to screw up anything tomorrow night. Other people, I honestly can't speak for. It's kind of worrisome that there were still some line drops and forgettings of lines and the like during our final-before-preview-audience dress, but I haven't really been stressing about it. I think the fact that this whole thing has been so laid back has just sort of made me not worry about how it comes off. It's been fun, it will be a fun weekend, and ultimately I think that's all that really matters with this one. Sweeney audition on Sunday. Gonna take some time off from acting during the holiday season to be available to sing with Pentimento. I need to get together a binder of the songs I can sing with them and start learning lyrics. ...I want to start a glamrock band. That's it for now.
