I haven't really done anything vocally for a while. Not *actual* singing with a warm-up and everything. And so it comes as no surprise to me that I can't hit some of the notes that I used to be able to hit with some regularity (and none of the notes that I'd stretch for and sometimes land on).

Aww yeah! Wish me luck!

Friday night. It's raining.

We're going out for dinner and drinks. seaves is on the phone with her Mom, drinking her Pre. My pre is done and I'm playing the guitar. I'm only at the computer because I wanted to learn a song really quickly but I couldn't find the CD. I found both cases of the cd, but the disc itself is nowhere to be found. (Tracy ( Read more... )
