Okay, in the "I am a dork" department, I went to the music store and bought a couple of books of music to go through with Joel this afternoon (we're meeting at 4pm). And didn't notice that one of them was instrumental :P I was disappointed, they didn't have the Scarlet PImpernel or Chess (which the salesclerk had never heard of. Is it just me, or is that odd?). But they're ordering them for me and they should arrive early next week. Hopefully they'll get here quickly, because I have several candidates for an uptempo piece and none for a ballad. Both the ballads I was thinking of singing are in those two shows. And I refuse to sing anything by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Gag me with a spoon. Hello, I'll write one melody, turn it into four or five different shows, change the lyrics, and make a fortune! Don't belive me? Try singing one of his songs from memory, bet you ten bucks in the middle of it you'll switch to a song from a different show :P So I ended up with the songbooks for South Pacific and Flower Drum Song (two of my favorites).
I also talked with friends/arranged tonight. About four of us will be meeting at the Middle East around 8pm. I'm excited to get out! None of them know each other, though, so that could prove interesting :) Hopefully they'll get along/have stuff in common. Or it could be a loooong night.
Finally got my oil changed, three thousand miles past when I was supposed to! Oops :) Then I came back home and wrote five pages in Magpie! Yeah! I'm happy with the page count, up to roughly page eighty-two, and the way things are going thus far. I just hope the quality of my writing matches the beginning few chapters. I think I'm using incense too much as a setting detail :P, but the Chinese did burn it a lot, and according to my research it was a constant presence in the home. I may reach a hundred pages this weekend, I've got a lot of free time scheduled for writing. Wait, is that an oxymoron? "free time" and "scheduled?" :) I think I've got most of my POV characters, but I'm still wrestling with Loung. Slippery bastard that he is ;)
Off to eat lunch - yes, it's 2:45pm my time, what can I say? I don't keep regular hours :)
