May Ling’s Recital Poster, take 1, 2009

Ummmm. This was my first try at a recital poster for this year’s recital. It fell through when May Ling told me she had about a dozen Conservatory students that would otherwise have gone in the middle. : P

Here’s the finished version, to remind you what I eventually came up with.

So, this version has all the important stuff, and six music students… Tab, a nice first-year, who came out nearly recognisable, KevinN… …… …who always wears shorts, JenniferH, Endy, whose name I spelled wrong (he has crazy hair but not that crazy), Clinton, who is a brilliant – and I mean jaw-dropping good – pianist but never dresses for it, and meh on the end.

I’m off to rename my kitty and let Tam get at the last of Greenhills! Then he shall warp forward in time and get his CANDY-CANE SPEAR WOOT. Then I just need to get Gullac up to tempo so he can get his CANDY-CANE DAGGERS. I don’t even know what secondary class I want for him. Warrior? Mesmer? Ooooh…

Last night, I played Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and I nearly got to the first dungeon. Zelda is a pushy little brat, isn’t she? Much different than the princesses of the same name that I  know… I mean, she knows what she’s doing, and she does it well – but she’s rather selfish and it comes across strongly. Perhaps this will be her ‘learning journey’ – after all, this Zelda has never known not being a princess! (though the other ones were the same, and they weren’t so selfish… or freaked out by everything!)

Also I dreamed that Han Solo, Princess Leia, my mom, and my brother broke into an Imperial detention centre in a supermarket in order to rescue a Stradivarius violin. Oh, and Marteth had bright green hair. o_O7

(btw comments make me so happy! Thankies!)

W00T IT'S A PIANO

Huzzah! Now come listen to us all play brilliantly!

I think it might be rather long, so I hope you’re not sick of piano by the end of it.

I drew that based on the actual piano we will be playing on, using my grey-scale art markers. Also a golden art-style Sharpie. And a yellow non-Sharpie marker. And Photoshop. It wasn’t so hard once I got started.

You can’t tell that I used a different marker around the Steinway logo if you print it out. Click for a large, printable image! (hint, hint)

I’m so addicted to salsa it’s hilarious. I went to a dance club (at least, that’s what I think it was) last night with some Rueda friends and danced for hours. It was so much fun. It was hideously crowded and so loud that when we formed a Rueda circle we couldn’t hear the caller, but it was still great fun. How can I put it stronger? I’m stuck. But today I spent half the day listening to salsa music. Fabulous.

Salsa is pretty much the one place where I can honestly tell myself “I’m not un-feminine. I have hips. And by golly, I’m gonna use them.”
