Must stop procrastinating, and do taxes so I can get my damned licence...I have got to find another job. I am getting paid far too little to bust my ass the way I do. I got to work today at 3:30pm and didn't leave until 5am. I have to be at work tomorrow at 3:30pm and I'm fucking exhausted, but I'll be damned if I can go to sleep. I wish I could just come home and pass out like I want to. So annoying. So I'll sit here and natter on for a bit until I just stop functioning.
Mandolin lessons are coming along fine. Learning to stop reading notes and only visualizing piano keys and start applying them to a fretboard. Scales help. It's also starting to refresh my memory of what I learned back in the old PCCA days. I stumbled across my old manuscript notebook from music theory class the other night, with notes scrawled all over it like: "When not diatonic, 3rd part will do opposite of bass and melody line", "ALWAYS double the 5th in 2nd inversions" and "No parallel 4ths in outer parts", and I don't remember writing a fucking word/note of it. When I first looked at it I couldn't remember ever knowing it - it was completely foreign - but after reading over it a bit it's slowly starting to make sense again. The knowledge is there, I've just got to brush the dust off. Okay, functioning has ceased and they've started listing off the school lunch menus...time for too little sleep and another day that I'm sure will be longer than it should be....
