So, I guess there’s so much to blog about I just became overwhelmed and didn’t blog about anything. Besides, most people follow my facebook and whatnot. Just in case you missed those insta-updates, I’ll fill you in here:
The biggest thing-I moved outta Kenmore! I’m living on the west side now on Fargo Ave. I’m still getting used to being in a new space, but I’m liking it and I have BIG plans for the summer. I have a porch and a side yard and maybe a back yard? It’s there, I’m just not sure if it’s in use. I have dreams of box gardens and porch swings (hammocks?). I also have a big gorgeous living room to FINALLY use my sewing machine and get to creating! My small t.v. has been moved to my bedroom so now I have this big creative space with limited distractions-just my record player and my projects. It’s going to be a good winter/spring/summer, I can feel it.
The next big thing is the band I’m in. We have 2 guitar players, bass and drums. We think we rock but that’s because we’ve worked hard on this music- who knows, you might think so too! We made it to the second round in the Broadway Joes “Rage on the Stage”. We aren’t super ragey/angsty but we look cool with lasers and smoke too. We are playing a show this weekend for the Infringement Festival Fundraiser (Saturday 1/15/11 at Nietzsche’s-we go on at 12:20am) and one next weekend for the second round of Rage on the Stage (Saturday 1/22/11-I think it starts at 9pm). The best part about being in the band is I get a chance to hear my music redone by my band mates with all their added styling, it’s an amazing process to be a part of and I love hearing my music done differently!
I haven’t had time to read and I actually fell into a deep Lord of the Rings re-obsession and watched the movies repeatedly a couple weeks leading up to the move. I think I was trying to distract myself from the truth- that I was going to have to move and readjust. I made it through though and with only a few things left at my old apartment, I’m feeling more and more settled in at the new space.
Hopefully living on the west side will stimulate some blog posting such as, why do people walk in the middle of the road on the west side or is 5am Oasis karaoke appropriate?
