(no subject)

I haven't decided what to do today. I went to my lesson (now nicely scheduled to happen after my teaching days), and now must contemplate the rest of today. Sometimes having no 9-5 job is fun and annoying at the same time. I could go to knit and crochet, which would help with my utter lack of progress on all things knit/crochet. I could also go help my dad do accounts/spreadsheets. Alternately, I could stay at home all day and read fiction (i.e. repeat yesterday). I think I like the first option best, and I can always help dad out afterward.

So, having decided that, tomorrow looms. I know I'm going to a silent movie night (with a live organist accompanying!), but I don't have anyone to go with me. Anyone out there up for a night on the town? I've gotten so used to going out and exploring this city that the urge to do so is almost physical.

To update on the whole "scoring a gig for the band" thing I mentioned last post, I finally got ahold of the lady in charge, and gave her all the necessary info/links to the band. Now I'm just waiting for a "Come play!" or a "Not interested". I don't think I'll be too disappointed if she declines our services, but it'll be really cool if we get to play.

My trip to North Carolina is coming up soon. Nine days until liftoff. You could say I'm nervous. It's going to be ridiculously busy. I've been trying to get back into a consistent practicing schedule so my hands (and arms, and shoulders) don't die of overuse once I'm there. Two weeks ago I practiced once. Last week I practiced twice (this isn't counting 2-3 hour band practices twice a week). This week I want to practice 4 times (see a pattern?), and then keep it up. Practicing itself isn't that hard, but making myself get the violin out and start playing is.

Wish me luck,
Greene
