Trying to draw myself in Colby’s style without looking either in a mirror or at any of Colby’s drawings. Fail!

I’m going to try again later, because I think Colby’s style would work really well for my hair when it frizzes up like this.

Going out to practice now. Get in a couple hours, buy bread and milk, have supper, chat with my bro. Avoid the party I can hear down the street.

Tomorrow: audition for chamber music, class (possibly – I can’t find the class schedule on the internet! D8 ) more practice, chorale, salvage some furniture because srsly, this lack of bookshelf can’t go on. Also considering cleaning the kitchen but not really.

This morning – church. It was good. Except it was the family Mass at which screaming kids attend. But there is an organ in that church so I am thinking it might be worth the 25-minute walk (at 8:00 in the morning? Really, Jen? Yes, really.).

Then I made Sunday brunch (I fried TWO eggs, and TWO hot dogs. Although the pan wasn’t really big enough for that. BUT WHATEVER IT’S FUD) and then I wandered through some computer-generated mountains and then I had a nap. The nap was full of the strangest dreams. Like, I kept my money in my watch, behind the battery, and also it was a time machine. Or something. I saw Mom. Hi, Mom!

P.S. the skin on my hands is drying out a little and I’m getting a sore throat. : P

Anatomy practice that somehow turned into my angel. : ) His shins are not long enough? Just enough to make him seem top-heavy, not by much.

I am much closer to having a clean room!!! I actually vaccuumed today!!

I will post a really good picture tomorrow. Can’t wait!

I watched Chariots of Fire last night, again, with some good friends I haven’t seen in a while. Hope I didn’t annoy them by chattering so much. I talk sooooooo much, and it only gets worse when I haven’t seen someone in a while, and don’t have as much contact with them through the internet.

Still looking for a job.

Taken up Clementi’s Gradus Ad Parnassum. I wanna get my left hand in shape!

It’s a random body! …Was standing in front of my mirror one day, and contemplating: “Dang, girl, you actually have nice curves.” So I drew them.

Had a wonderful concert today! Bit concerned that people are complimenting me every time I turn around, yet I’m not the star. The Sea Cantata is the star. But I’m the one wearing purple. Actually, to explain the whole story, I was a little concerned that the Beethoven wasn’t getting its full recognition before, not just because I was playing in it, but because it’s rather a massive work. Although it doesn’t feel massive anymore. It actually feels quite short. But that’s just me. But now I think the Beethoven has had full recognition, and more should go to the Sea Cantata because it’s actually really awesome and really well written, especially with orchestra. …Please excuse my crazy blather. Anyway, much thanks should go to the orchestra, for being super awesome with only two rehearsals. Yep. Lots of awesome. Especially Alexei, who probably has the most to do in the concert besides Nick. And also my page turner, who helped me in the most difficult section of the Beethoven. And the soloists who were lovely. And the kids who were not as noisy as I thought they’d be. And the adults who sang quite splendidly.

Everything’s pretty great, okay? And we’ll do it again next week! <3

Um. I was bored of drawing random Marteth heads (see yesterday’s post) and so decided to try drawing someone with as much face detail as I knew how to do. …It didn’t quite turn out the way I expected.

…Yeah.

So I drew Tam laughing at him. Tam didn’t really turn out either. But he doesn’t care as long as the other guy is funnier.

Note: This is not anyone whom I saw on the ferry. This was the product of my pencil without proper guidance. : P

ORCHESTRA CONCERT TOMORROW soooo excited! Whee! Special shoutouts to my awesome orchestra friends Shelder, Alexei, and Justin!!! Also Sheila, because I know her. : ) Also there will be four or so choirs and my brother’s singing a bass solo in the Choral Fantasy and – look, it’s gonna be awesome, you should be there. Oh and I’m playing piano with the orchestra for one selection. Nothing big. You know, just the CHORAL FANTASY. Woot!

Okay. I’mma bed now. Enough of this nonsensical rambling.

This is pretty much how I feel now, too. Figure study of me, because for some reason I have nicely curved hips.

I’ve been having dizzy spells all day, today and yesterday. I hope I’m not getting sick with something. I had a nap both afternoons, too, and that didn’t stop it.

I’ll tell you about all the fantastic things that’ve been happening later, when I don’t feel so dizzy.
