Got paid for writing a piece of music for the first time in my life. It's kind of exciting I have to admit.

It was the music for an informational animation for a hospital. Nothing too exciting, and obviously the music had to be on the muzak-ish side, but still it was fun to do.

Yes indeed. And don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the music—it's kind of on the acid jazz side and works well in the context it's being used—it just cracks me up that I made something like that, in a good way.

Congrats Jans! Getting paid to have fun is a great way to put $$ in your pocket.

I'm stoked that my old band is getting back together and has gigs already lined up.

What about a thread for the GOOD things that are happening to us? For when you're feeling on top of the world and life is... whatya mean, you never feel like that??!

Me, I'm looking forward to my first real holiday in, um, ten years, as my sis is taking respite care for her MS starting tomorrow, which leaves me in the house on my own for a week. Woo-hoo! Pity the builders are in, but still, it does mean my time will be my own. For a whole week! MUCH music to be listened to, much telly to be watched; might even get out to see a movie or do some shopping (let's not go mad here)...

I've trained for three days to be a professional wrestler, and finally live that dream. It's not something I'd exactly owned up to for years, but I would engage in backyard brawls with friends, even going so far as to have entrance music, cut promos, etc.

Now, it's finally a reality, and I'm apparently pretty good at it. I was so scared that I was going to be the worst, that I was going to fail miserably, and that my trainer was going to hate me. That turned out not to be the case. While I do need to work myself up to 100 hindu squats, 50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups, and 90 second neck bridges, I'm really getting there.

I can take bumps (read: fall down) effectively in the ring, hit ropes, get thrown into turnbuckles (corner of the ring), take hip tosses, and do some chain wrestling.

I'm gaining connections for bookings in the future, and have been told that as a female, I'm a rare commodity and can be looking at $100 a match, easy, in the indies. I've not really started developing my gimmick yet in training, but I have an idea of what I want to do. I've also been looking into theme music. I was thinking "The Right Stuff" by Monster Magnet could be fun, and hold a wrestling crowd's attention and approval:



Because, you know, there's no copyright problems in the indies. Which is killer.

I've learned so much about how the business works, what goes into putting matches together, and all of that...I can honestly say that I've learned more about wrestling in the past three days than I'd learned in my whole life previously.

To say I'm rejoicing could be an understatement. I was depressed for months and had no idea what I was going to be doing with my life, but now I've finally got an opportunity to actually live a dream. This is an absolute blessing.
