Update
It’s been a while…
Tue 28 Mar
Went to orchestra rehearsal was nominated for Vice-President for their committee but I could not accept cos my life is insane enough already.
Wed 29 Mar
Worked at Music and then went to check out isi13’s gym and did a class. I ALMOST signed up for membership cos I got a reasonable deal but again, I realised my life was too insane for it. I'll continue with yoga fortnightly and I'm trying to take a 30-minute walk when I can but it gets dark early now.
Thu 30 Mar
Collusion played at the Lunchtime Concert and I really enjoyed it. I’ve been wanting to listen to more twentieth-century music so that my music will sound contemporary (modern, not weird) so it was good research and great to see my friends play. (I missed out on their full concert cos my w’end was full.)
I had sushi dinner with crazycatgirl and a short catch up. Poor girl was practically lying across the sushi train tracks :P (Tired, not suicidal!)
I then had coffee with the girls and had a long catch up. There’s never enough time!
Fri 31 Mar
I composed in the morning and then went to my Music work supervisor’s retirement lunch. (Oh, imagine retiring!!) Schonell Pizza Caffe doesn’t really handle groups very well but their pizzas are awesome! I then worked there for the arvo to catch up on some hours.
eviltomato came around for a visit at home.
Sat 1 Apr
3 of my friends had b’days today but they’re not in Brissy so no partays.
Amanda came around and we watched The Perfect Score. They reckoned it was The Breakfast Club meets the Ocean’s Eleven. 9/10 for Scarlett Johannson’s outfits and the Asian stoner but it really wasn’t poignant or hip enough so 6.5/10.
Sun 2 Apr
I went to DFO with snuck and I scored a work top that I’ve now discovered is a little small for me - damn my munchie assisted cleavage :P
I then had coffee with T. and we talked music and life. There’s never enough time for us either.
This week
I’ve been a lot less social and a lot more compose-y. It’s a balancing act.
I went to orchestra on Tue and was feeling good about improving my violin playing. I won’t be able to go to the only rehearsal before our next concert which is in the Queen St Mall on Sat 29 Apr (I think we’re playing at 12, 1 and 2) :P so I will try to practise in the meantime.
We’ll be going to Sydney during the Easter holidays! Got quite a few friends and rellies to catch up with.
Lunchtime Concert yesterday was great. A student soprano sang a Berlioz song cycle which was good research for the song cycle I’ll be writing. My brain exploded later that afternoon due to overuse.
Last night I made a nice curry and just totally forgot to make any rice - d'uhhh... It tasted great with 2-minute noodles though.
A few things lined up for the w’end so far. Going to try and find the motivation to compose on the w’end - apparently chocolates and a degree aren’t enough :P
