Glad your friends survived. News reports say West Liberty was 'leveled'.

Cool. I was in an earthquake several months ago. The whole house rattled and the front door popped open.

Nice weather today. Went on a nice long walk with my walkman mp3 player. Cleaned the house, packed all my clean clothes away in preparation of moving again in about two weeks. Read 90 pages of High Times about growing indoor/outdoor just to brush up for the outdoor season, purely out of boredom/interest (I've done outdoor twice now, and learned a lot from watching my mom growing up, but it's nice to read different ideas and maybe pick up some new tricks or knowledge). Had a Papa Murphy's All Meat stuffed pizza for dinner. Bought a 6er of Pabst 16 oz.ers and some Peace Teas: Ceylon, Raspberry, and Green Tea (those are for later). Found a damn harmonica in my room today in a case, brand new. I don't remember getting it, but vaguely have seen it before - years ago. Considering all the moving I've been doing, I'm happy to have it.

Oh yeah, and probably the highlight of my day was playing drums earlier for about two hours. Beat the crap out of Mastodon's Colony of Birchmen and Blood and Thunder, and am working on Megalodon. I'm using downloaded youtube videos of the charts from Rock Band 3, of expert pro drums (uses cymbals symbols as well), so it's basically like drum tabs that move at the correct tempo. I just have to know which symbol corresponds to which piece on my set, and/or improvise. I have about 80-90 tracks downloaded, and have been doing this for about a month now, but hadn't mentioned it before. I think it's really clever and helping me learn to play real songs better. I've only been drumming for 9 months so far (but played the Rock Band series for years, graduating from expert to a real kit finally), and I feel like I'm making big strides. Down side to this idea is how to wean myself off reading the charts and just knowing what to hit and when. Do I memorize the notes? Do I just get really familiar and then improvise and pay attention to the other instruments to see where I am? Not that I'm going to be hitting a stage soon, or even playing with folks yet... but it's something that's been crossing my mind now and again about this. Also beat the crap out of Jimi Hendrix Exp.'s Hey Joe [live] and Wait Until Tomorrow, the latter being much easier.


The rolls seemed daunting at first, but I've really nailed them consecutively, and they even sound good! I'm fairly excited about this. All I need to really work on is getting my double kicks down more precisely.

Yeah, they lived more on the fringes of West Liberty, but in Morgan County. They live in a smaller city within ten minutes of West Liberty, and claim it as their hometown...much in the same way that I claim Ashland as my hometown in spite of living in an unincorporated township outside of the city.

Kentucky does that.

EDIT: Yeah, I can't even look at the pictures of West Liberty right now. I have family in Morehead, KY, and went to the University there...so West Liberty was a place we went to hang out all the time. Seeing places I know and used to hang out at is seriously making me physically ill. My mom is a nurse and got called in there today. Horrible, horrible stuff.

Waiting for the cast list for a show I auditioned for to be posted. I'm really not optimistic, and have already told myself I'm not cast, in addition to telling everyone who asked about auditions that I'm pretty certain that I'm not.

It was the worst audition ever. I got weirdly tongue-tied, which seldom if ever happens to me, skipped over other peoples' lines, and just...didn't have a good audition in general. Naturally, I had to have a poor audition for a show with only 6 female roles, and roughly 20 females auditioning.

How there was such a turnout for a straight play, I'm not sure...oh, and I am only age-appropriate for 3, maybe 4 of the roles. So basically, me completely blowing an audition with 12 other girls in my AGE RANGE shooting for the same three or four roles...not looking good.

I will be shocked if I'm cast and not asked to stage manage or assistant direct.
