I need to practice more. I want to move onto actual songs soooo bad, just for the opportunity to play something cool, but I know I'm not ready yet. BUT!! Practicing just music theory is actually paying off; I can almost improvise now! I came up with a little sucky song the other day! True, it was only two measures at the most, but if I can do that now when ten years of learning piano songs couldn't get me to improvise, then I consider that a step in the right direction.
Everyone at work is quitting! That has its good and its bad points. A MAJOR good point to that is I might be getting some more hours headed my way. Kristina has already quit, and Nicole seems to be calling in on all her days, so I'm sure she's not far behind. Neither of them had many hours to begin with, but hey, even if I can get one or two more days it'd be worth it. The bad side of Kristina and Nicole quitting is that two of the coolest people at Petco are leaving! They're the only people besides Diamond and Lina that I enjoy talking to. So... more time working with fewer tolerable people. Hmm.... we'll see how that works out.
Ooh, ooh... BIG NEWS... So I was hanging out at UTSA yesterday when I see Smiles and ask what's up.
Me: "Smiles! What's up?"
Smiles: "Gale! I'm going to go play Smash."
Me: "There's people in the room playing?"
Smiles: "Yeah. [in a low voice] They're playing Brawl."
Me: "What, Brawl?? LIES!! Smiles, you shouldn't lie!"
Smiles: "No, really! They're playing Brawl, really!"
Me: "I gotta see this..."
And so I did. I went with Smiles to the Secret Room, and got to try Brawl for the first time. Of course, first character I tried out was Jigglypuff. Holy cats, she's been toned down hardcore. She's slightly heavier, and her Rest has been nerfed TREMENDOUSLY. In other words, no more one-hit KOs. Pobre me... ;__; Pokemon Trainer is my new drug though. I seriously love the ability to change between Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard, each with their own separate sets of moves. It's awesome~
work,
music,
