Where have I been lately? Working two jobs and getting ready for my band auditions. If all goes well (or even not), I'll probably be back in the army in about three weeks.
I've just about got music together, working on scales, arpeggios, picked out a couple of jazz tunes, an old rock tune from godspell, and a schmoozy chopin waltz, but I'm still completely mystified by what I'm going to play for a latin piece, and a ballad? What kind of freakin' ballad? Every Rose Has It's Thorn is a rock ballad, but somehow I don't think that's what they want. We shall see. Preparations would be going great, but I broke a key clean off of my piano tonight. E above middle C. Crap.
The other side of getting ready, is dropping the pounds to make sure I meet weight reqs again. Since I don't have a lot of time, drastic measures are required. First, no Dr. Peppers. None. Ouch. Skipping the bad carbs and watching calories. Plus.....and this is the good part, running twice a day. If I don't blow out my shins, I should be able to drop about eight or ten pounds this month, which will get me clear and then some. Woot. I've dropped a couple of pounds so far this week. Maybe I'll shave my head again to get another one. Heh......And that's all the update there is tonight, thank you, film at eleven.
