So I have just come back into my room after watching neighbours. Gosh I love that show; I have got so sucked in!
I was absolutely devistated when they took the old series off, and even though I still am (as I had an hour of it a day :) I have gotten myself use to this one and I know everyone now. It's so strange! Getting to know a soapy is like getting to know people; exactly the same. It takes ages to get to know the characters - at least it does for me - like reality, everyone's voices, or the majority at least blend in with each other for a while. It is taking me longer and longer to get to know individual characters both in real life and on TV.
Wow, everything is depressing on that show now. I hate to say it, but I almost feel like crying! I get myself so involved!
The only thing about this modern series is there can be parts where there are a few mins of just music no talking - obviously plenty of visuals happening. It frustrates me, but oh well! The show is too damn awesome!
One of my acting dreams is to get on there! man I'd love too!
OK well last night A called me, well she had the night before but I forgot to check my messages saturday night. so got it last night. she wanted to know if I was free "tomorrow" (today) to catch up. So called her back but only got an answering machine but she called back this morning. We arranged to meet at Boxhill for lunch. she drove but met me at the station which was good because, even though I have had O & M around that station, it always confuses me!
Anyway we went to the food court. I got chicken nuggets and chips (which I regretted) and she got Chinese. so it was great to catch up! Last time I saw her was a couple of months ago. But I am so glad she lives down here now!
I still can't believe she's an apprentice electrition. She soo knows where she is in life and I admire her for it. She quit nursing which was good because why spend years and money at something you really don't like?? anyway you don't perform nearly as well!
Am so happy that she got this job! It sounds like she'll be there for a long long time! She is not intimidated by being about the only girl which is awesome. We all know I would be!
Anyway after lunch, we just sat and spoke for hours. Then she came with me on the hunt for the sushi place! We found the one I went to last time with A (sis), so I got four rolls for tonight. Then we got afternoon tea - I got rumble and she got Danish tart from this near-by cake place. I'd never had a bought rumble before, so it was nice! Think there was a bit of rum inside, but couldn't taste it that well.
Yeah then we went outside and sat in the sun. i took Heartly's harness off so A could play with her. She just loves Heartly!! It was soo nice! Finally we are getting the devine weather!
Then, about 4.30 A walked with me to the station and I got on the train home. I walked home from the station. It was a lovely walk (I had walked there earlier) but I love spring! everything smells so fragrent and fresh!
For tea, I had two of my rolls plus a sausage that I bunged on the grill.
so that was my day! so much for study which, yes I had planned! Lol!
Yesterday nanna (who ended up staying Saturday night too) and I went to the city, just for lunch. Oh before that she bought me a hot water bottle. My right ear had gradually got worse again til it was at "killing-me" point yesterday. I decided to try my drops that should have been thrown out August. Anyway I was saying to nanna that I needed to buy meself a water bottle as that can do wonders for painful areas! So yeah she went around to the chemist (next to sAfeway) and got me one!
Yeah then we got ready and walked to the station. Turns out they were doing work on the track so we had to catch a bus to boxhill and train it from there!
We had a lovely lunch in the food court Sputhbank. We then went to Mackers to have desert Lol! I had a donut from the cafe there. And every time I went to take a bite, this lady kept talking to me about how much Heartly looked like one of her dogs. and then went on to ask me how hard it was for me and all, bla bla bla. nothing new. I just hadn't had a chock donut in ages, had the biggest craving and opt to enjoy it damnit!! Was not so! *grrrr*
anyway, afterwoods we caught the tram back to boxhill! By this stage my ear was really making me feel awful, sick and just so tired!
We caught the bus home from the station though.
Nanna left not long after and I ended up going to bed real early that night cos my ear was just killing me! I of course put my drops in and over the night it was paining less and less. Today I have had no probs with it. Even though the drops were kinda old, they are obviously working!
I will not do my usual trick and stop the course though. I will continue it. The ear is still blocked though. It makes my orientation a little screwed but I'm still here! Haven't got run over yet though I certainly have to be more cautious!
Also something very strange is happening to me! OK well among all my other weird and wonder dreams, on Saturday night, I had a dream that a certain M was trying to teach me some braille music. Or at least he was playing this thing on the piano and I can't quite remember how it went now, but I was showing off my skill! Anyway he was getting real mad at me because I was getting it all wrong!
Anyway the rest is a bit scewed, but I woke up and had this sudden urge to try my music reading skills again.
I thought, that maybe I could get my skill up with it (and I'd say the theory in conjunction) so I could get songs and learn how to play them on piano.
I would dearly love to learn piano again but at the moment affording lessons is out the question!
Anyway it's a hobby; I can see where this takes me!
So yesterday I actually got "Read Sing and Play" out and was reading it and singing my way through the first lot of exercises. I have to say have been quite proud of myself! :)
I remember mostly what I had learnt previous but I have forgotten a few little things which I will most likely ask an experienced bud about.
Today I was counting out the notes as I was concentrating on the note length which, although I was doing that previous, I didn't feel it was done properly.
Hey, Hey, at least i worked out something that I hadn't realized before when looking at the book! that one of the exercises was "MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB". Lol! I was sooooo excited when I figured that out! Lol! I was just humming it as I was reading. and like worked out after I hummed the correct note length and everything, that it was that song! ha ha! Lol!
Anyway that is my phaze; wonder if it will last??
As with most people I think, I get on to a thing, get all excited and eager, and sometimes it will pass; other times they will stay with me.
I have a feeling this will stay. Because I have heard so much music camp stuff, with the majority of songs both sung and played learnt from music!
I can't find my zizuki method tape. If/when i ever find it, I'd be delighted to learn those more complicated (past book 1 songs) by ear again. I know it's here somewhere in my dozens of boxes containing scores and scores of tapes. *sigh* I don't think I'll ever get to sorting through them all!
Well, til next time, RdFreak
Current mood: quite OK
