I have Red-eye. I can't speak sentences properly. I love green.

gutted the basement. got stuck with a few nails when throwing the wood and tiles out. sucked. talked to my friend and made sure we're still going to see the descendents, suicide machines, x, 7 seconds, and dead milkmen. talked to her a bit after.
made plans for up coming shows.

wtf is up in Asia? that's the same trend in other Asian countries. all these Jpop Kpop. don't understand why they're trying to go western, the culture is so rich. do they hate their own?

malaysian ethnic music is not so great - i only really like the percussion-heavy makyong

indonesian is better - they have gamelan

there have been attempts to ethnicise western music, like the defunct Asiabeat, but they failed to take off, both locally and internationally

but in within Asia (admittedly i dont know much about it although i should), is there no appreciation for the local sound? or are you saying there is no local sound?

we met with some Koreans last year and, for some reason, he believes that koreans have made it internationally. he kept on talking about kpop being embraced by hollywood. i was honestly weirded out. i don't know what world he's been living in but it is certainly a different one from where the West is.

yes there is a local sound but it's traditional music

there is no local sound in terms of mainstream genre - there is something we invented called 60s Metal - i dunno, sorta metallic British Invasion sound but only one band made it big with that sound, whose name escapes me at the moment

otherwise, it's a mish-mash of all sorts of other stuff - nothing original

there was this chick who had a hit in the States, Charlene or something, there was this other chick who was basically a flesh-peddlar, still trying to make it big in the States

our biggest export is Michelle Yeoh

Well, oops. The Tales of Suspense One acts series that's being put on by our main area theatre is putting on five shows. I wrote down two that I was interested in, got called back for both, and cast in both.

I neglected to look at the rest of the cast lists when posted, and am actually in another play. As a principal role. Somehow this happened without a callback. Apparently, when we did the cattle call readings, that was all it took.

So, now I'm in 3/5 shows, and we're only supposed to be in 2, lest we spread ourselves too thin.

I already wrote that I accepted "the roles". So, seeing as I'm part of the only two person cast in the series and in another show as a minor role, now, with the addition of another principal role, I'm going to be onstage for roughly 3/5 of the whole thing. With about a month of rehearsal.

Damn.

I'm both terrified and excited.

I hope you enjoy the coming weeks of total immersion into theatre! You're going to come across 150% schizophrenic if you go the Val Kilmer route!

fuck all to do today

i've finished my work until next month

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Went to dentist for drilling: OUCH!
