(no subject)
Huh. Despite only two hours sleep the previous night, no nap in the daytime, and no caffeine after 4pm (just to be safe), I successfully woke up at 4am again today.... I don't even know. It's really frustrating, because I think even if I stayed awake for a week straight I wouldn't be able to sleep a full night anymore. I might just try that. Ooh.
Also, I have semi-awesome news. My dad keeps going on these business trip things, as you might possible already know, which are sort of seminars / conferences actually. Well, frequently they have to use hotel sound-systems for their productions, and the hotel they're going to this time around is charging $1100 just to use their system for the event. Needless to say, that is retarded, and the person in charge (clarification: the rich guy in charge, holy frick that guy has some serious money) says he'd rather buy a system than keep having to use [sometimes-crappy] hotel ones that require paying every time... and, lo and behold, who is the dude's tech-man of sorts? My dad.
Meaning? If he got a system, IT WOULD TECHNICALLY SORT OF BE MY DAD'S. Meaning I COULD PLAY WITH IT ON OCCASION. I'm excited. I've told my dad to talk to the guy who taught me sound (because he owns his own equipment already, and probably knows where to get it / what we'd need to get), so he'll probably do that on Sunday or something. I'm going to request dad get a setup that records to CD, for purely selfish reasons, because I'm speculating that it's probably possible to have multiple boards linked, so one's controlling the actual sound that FOH hears, and the other controls what's being recorded (I think this is valid, anyway? I HOPE IT IS), and thus I could RECORD in a PROPER MANNER!
So basically I'm bouncing off the walls with excitement right now. :):):)
Less bouncy over the fact that my mom decided to tell some dude at the mall (who, granted, I'd love to work for, because while the main aspect of their shop is bridal/tuxedo rental/sales, they also do ENGRAVING and repair watches, and thus appeal to my creative, jewelry-making side a lot) that I would go to work with her on Thursday and then go talk to him. Which, okay, normally that'd be fine, except, see, I don't have anywhere to be Thursday night. Normally, if I do, I'll go with her, sure, but without that thing to do later it would be really sillypointless, and exhausting for nothing. And that's time I could spend doing something productive (not that I WOULD do something productive, but, hey, I COULD, okay?!), instead of talking to people for an hour and then seeing a movie and wandering around aimlessly for the rest of the entire day. I don't know. Mixed feelings on that. Couldn't I come in on Friday, when it would actually make sense?
I will think instead about the prospective sound equipment imminently approaching, and not stress over illogical and silly things of this nature.
Also? Mmmm, Gatorade.
