Short week! woot!

Sep 19, 2011 06:18

I'm so terribly excited to only be working three days this week! Although since my last full day off was the 10 (but I spent that cleaning out the garage and re-doing landscaping so I totally don't count that so we'd have to go back to the 5 as the last day I had off) the excitement is fully justified.

Thursday morning the no-longer-my GF and I are driving down to Norman for the Kane show Friday night. We're going the day early to make it a leisurely trip. I didn't wanna spend 10 hours in the car then go to the show. Although, that may be what we do Saturday morning. Saturday night is the rodeo finals and Tracy Lawrence show and I hate to miss it. I really, really like rodeo. What? It's wholesome family entertainment. There's nothing sexy about cowboys. I swear.

So, you know how I mentioned I wanna get a new body mod? Well, I did. There's a tattoo place upstairs from the comic shop I work at and I see the guys from up there all the time and I let myself be talked into it after my shift on saturday. Here, look:








I need to get it touched up around the eye I think and I may go back in for another round of color to make it really pop. I'm not sure how I feel about the way it hurt having it done. It totally didn't feel like I thought it would. It didn't hurt enough that I won't get more done, but it certainly didn't feel good! lol. I will get the matching devil duck on the other ankle at the least.

In news of The Boy, they've got their set list for Show Choir now. In fact I do believe he said they've got the first song down pat and the next nearly there. Choreography starts in another couple of weeks. That'll be 6-8 hours a week on top of the voice work. They don't even start competing til January. However, they are one of the last schools in their bracket to start practices every year.

They're gonna open with O Fortuna. Then their dance piece is Frank Sinatra's Fly Me To The Moon, followed by the ballad Light from Next to Normal. Then just the girls will sing Katy Perry's ET presumably while the guys change. The guys will come on and do Space Cowboy by N'Sync while the girls change. There's usually some kind of medley of the guys and girls respective songs after they're all changed and then they'll go into their closing piece which is Queen's Don't Stop Me Now (sans the solo Freddy Mercury does before the rest of the band kicks in).

All the song arraignments are gonna be slightly different than the youtube vids, but you get the idea. I don't know what the girls dresses look like this year, but the guys are wearing suits cut similar to last years but in a navy blue. They look really sharp. They've got a preview show in December that I'm really looking forward to. I won't have any video of them to post til after competition season starts, but since I'm that kind of parent I'll put it up. *g*

I finished another story in my Gimme a Double universe. I need to get it beta read for tense and continuity but I'm really pleased with how it came out. In other writing news, I've got a couple thousand word skeleton of the Gabriel Big Bang. Just gotta sit down and flesh it out over the next few months. No problem right?

Now that I've written a novel here, I'm off to pretend to do actual work. Have a good monday everybody.
