Song currently playing: Pagoda – Tidal Machines (playing in my head, because there’s no music in the computer labs)
Bonjourno!
I’m STILL SICK. Well, not really. I cough about every 2 or 3 hours. I’ll be cured by tomorrow. 😀 (Big Grin)
Tuesday afternoon I went out with Lox to Walmart to pick up some stuff… but I forgot to get thick stock paper. Moment is completely done; but I can’t print it out. D’oh!!!
I helped him fix and tune his guitar, and then broke my rule and played “Man in the Movie” for him. I think he liked it, especially since he said “wow, that’s not usually your style, that’s MY style.”
Silliness. No one’s been able to figure out my “style” in any matter.
Anyhow, it was good I played it, because I nailed down the bridge for it too. I need to practice a couple more times, and then show it to the rest of the band.
I watched “The Usual Suspects” Tuesday night in Regina & Lalrem’s room. That movie ROCKS. A bit too much swearing for my tastes, but definitely ranks among Fight Club, Memento, Sixth Sense & Matrix. An excellent action movie, but the ending will leave you so completely floored. Must watch twice.
I watched it with Eunice, Lalrem, Joseph, Magda, Richard and Boone. Interesting developments between Lalrem & Joseph. I noticed it before when they were working, but we’ll see what becomes of it. It was a bit weird for me, because I used to have a crush on Lalrem before I realized she had a boyfriend. Strange thing is, however, I think she still does, and unless I’m mistaken; he may be studying here too. This might get interesting.
And by the way, if you think I’m being blunt and daring about expressing things about my love, I am. I’ve decided I don’t really care who reads my journal; if it’s the way I really feel, I’m going to write it. If you want to find out what I’m really thinking, it will be here.
I figure if someone reads it and dislikes it, I will have saved myself some heartache, I suppose. Anyways, it’s my journal. Anyone who doesn’t want to know shouldn’t read it.
Wednesday my boss took us out to lunch again, we went to Chi-Chi’s. I’d never been there. I love that place! The food is really good, especially their fried cheese-seafood things! Wonderful!
Wednesday night’s practice was incredible. We wrote a new song called “Tidal Machines” that is just… well, I’ve still got it in my head. It’s a beautiful song, one that I could fall asleep curled into a ball to. It’s very sad, but uplifting at the same time. hmmmmmmm. Kinda like Feivel’s “Somewhere out there”, I suppose would be a good comparison. I love that song so much. I think Saxton and I bonded a lot more in that song than we have in any other before.
We had played “tie my tongue up in knots” earlier, and Saxton seemed rather sullen. I didn’t know what to do. It seemed everyone was having fun playing it except him. It’s driving me bananas. I don’t want to steal the show, I’m not comfortable doing that. I wish we could work something out where we all wouldn’t mind if ANY of us sang lead, like the Beatles did. We can all sing, but our different voices only work on certain songs. It’s actually pretty rare that we can all sing at the same time. Saxton does mellow and hard stuff rather well, Lox does folkish stuff rather well, and I do love songs. Spam, well… we’re all working on Spam. 😀 (Big Grin) He can sing, just doesn’t like to most times. We’ll see. Maybe sometime in the future we’ll figure it out.
Anyhow, today I’ve been stuck in Jordan fixing these blasted computers. I’m starved and I’m going to dinner.
Adios!
