Five Big Things I Learned in 2007
Priscilla Ahn recently posted a MySpace blog announcing her new album coming out in 2008, and also listing her top 5 things she learned this year. She asked her readers to post their things as well, and I decided to take her up on it. Here was my comment:
I was actually pretty happy I took the time to think that over. I'm not sure if that's really the TOP 5 things I learned this year, or if it's even in order of most important, but those were definitely things that stood out in my mind in the amount of time I spent thinking it over.
In other news I made a tasty curry tonight. I did not have many of the ingredients the recipe called for, the one among them I was most uncertain of was coconut milk, but I mixed milk with shredded coconut to make, well, coconut milk... I don't know what it was supposed to taste like, but It was yummy anyway!
Yay! New album! Yay! Cheese! Yay! Personal insights!
Wow, I don't know if I can come up with the top 5 things I've learned this year on the spot like this...
5) Thinking too much about individual notes makes them harder to play
4) Sometimes it's more important to stick up for myself than to stick with a crummy job for the money
3) Fancy lighting and special effects go a long way in making people look good
2) Creative stuff doesn't have to be perfect before you share it - people like it anyway
1) You never know who is looking up to you for inspiration
Hey, that was kind of cool! Thanks for making me think about that.
Happy New Year!

I Asked Her for Some Happy News
10 points if you know which song I heard on the radio for the first time in a while the other day. (Blog title = hint)
Things that have made me happy lately:
1) Profile of Hug Nation
2) JK Rowling reveals Dumbledore is gay
3) I recently ran through every one of my songs I could remember. There were a few that were VERY rusty, but even those I pretty much remembered, and with a paper I could sail through them. It took me about an hour, which I think would be long enough for a concert, especially if there was a break. Whoo-hoo! um, yeah, now I just need to figure out when and polish them up... and ask people to play with me...
4) Skype came out with a new emoticon - it's a squirrel and it's SO CUTE (heidy) Someone who worked there I guess...
5) I got asked to be in a play
6) I got asked why I don't have a radio show on KRUU. Maybe I should finally take the plunge... except I'm SO busy. Maybe after the play... Which is in only a couple weeks. EEK!
7) Tea and Puppies at L's house. (Did I mention I wrote her a song? Whee! first new one in a while!)
8) Sondheim show with A and T. And getting to see A's house before going.
9) Dark Crystal with at GA & C's place.
10) ENORMOUS tasty grapes!
11) The idea of going to Colombia for 2 months early next year to totally immerse in Spanish before coming back and figuring out what to do...
12) Making mocha chip cookies
