Well, nothing out of the ordinary happened today. Just a regular old day. I got a lot of looks from hot girls with my new shirt at school today. It made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. After school I came home and just chilled for like an hour, then started listening to #41 by Dave Mathews Band. As soon as i heard the sax solo... i was like, I miss playing jazz... so i whipped out my rusty and trusty credit card and went straight to johnstonbaughs. I bought a new mouthpiece (morgan protone), and new ligiature (rovner) and some new reeds (cost like $60 so it wasn't too bad). I bought one two and a half reed, and a two 3's. I used to play a 3 1/2 but it's been so long since i've played, i think i might pass out if i try to put that much air in my saxophone right off the bat. So i started on the 2 1/2, but that only worked for like a few minutes, and then i realized why i never buy them. I'm used to putting so much pressure on the reed that it can't vibrate when it's only a 2 1/2. So i switched to my 3 and that worked for like an hour or so... now i'm really wishing i just bought the 3 1/2. But oh well, i'll get some tommorrow if i have some free time.
It's been years since i've played the sax. So i threw on #41 and got really pissed when i couldn't transcribe the solo. It was too difficult to just pick up after not playing for years. So I threw on greensleeves by kenny g and did fairly well w/ that. Transcribed everything but the crazy ass solo in the middle. But i got like half of the solo down. Anyway, for those of you who have no idea what the fuck i'm talking about, i'll move on.
I ended up playing for like two and a half hours. Then I realized that I was going to be late for work if i didn't get ready, so i did. Realized that i had no idea where my glasses were. Spent like a half hour looking for them when i realized that I probably left them on the counter in the post office the other day. So i ended up being late to work anyway. But they don't care. They usually don't give me too much grief about anything. I think they're all scared of me honestly. Cuz they will yell at everybody but me. Maybe they just like me that much, but it's more fun to think that i intimidate the foreigners.
It was so slow at work tonight, but i still ended up leaving w/ $60 which isn't bad considering i probably took 8 deliveries. People tipped well tonight, what can i say... "I am the master of cunning!"
I'm so glad bush is back... they might be called institute now, but they're the same band to me! At any rate, people actually talked to me, so i didn't feel lonely all day. I hate days off. Days off suck. I need to stay busy to be truly happy. I'm getting off early on friday, and i don't work at all on saturday night, so i'm going to have a crazy fun weekend. I'm gonna go out and meet some new people. I'm so sick of the same old around here.
I love Kate Beckinsale!!!... that is all
