happy new year! how long can i keep saying that? i'm thinking i may keep saying it in february. man, a lot has been going on and a lot of it is in my head. gotta write it down. decrease head swelling. ALSO WOULD YOU FREAKING BELIEVE I AM FIGHTING ANOTHER COLD? this has got to stop. i'm downing vitamins and echninacea and drinking vats of herbal tea. it's not a horrible cold just a wee one(determined to keep it wee!) but goddamn it's annoying.
everyone is sick. i mean everyone i've been around the past couple weeks. aaargh. oh and guess what? i went to the dentist yesterday cause i had a nagging tooth problem - either something was caught in my back molar or a filling came loose i had no idea -found out i broke a tooth. yes i broke a tooth 3 weeks after matt broke his tooth! the dentist wants to do a crown but because i have no insurance he said he'll replace the filling instead. good god. have an appt. in 2 weeks to fix it. i don't even want to think what this will cost on top of the other amount which i currently owe him for regular checkups.
The few insurance plans i've looked at online i CANNOT AFFORD. i don't have several hundred extra dollars i can pay a month.
LIST TO DO & IN PROGRESS stuff:
1) setting up tours. actually this is going very nicely. schwerve/kimya one is almost done--fine tuning and details now. and flight stuff.
pantsuit/major matt uk tour at end of april is about halfway there w/ booking.
trying to get it wrapped before leaving in mid-feb.
2) rehearsals/gigs. there are a lot o' gigs over next 5 weeks. jeez louise.
good practice for the tour - most of the gigs are schwerve. need more rehearsals want new song jams.
psuit is playing friday (9pm sidewalk!) and then on feb. 9th at parkside.
can't wait till tina gets back from japan- we're having a rehearsal tomorrow right before the show. wooooo!
3) toby did a really cool tee shirt design for schwerve. have to figure out a place to do the shirts. any suggestions out there? want all sizes of shirts - think the silk screening might take too much time for me and matt for this round....
4)calendar girls & collaborations. highly creative time period past couple months have been. am working out song later this evening (after a shopping trip for a humidifier and organic chicken soup!) w/ yoko and phoebe to play as "calendar girls" next monday at rififi. angela babyskin is in on it too.
5) pink floyd. oh man. 3 songs matt & i've been working on to play saturday. i'm playing the freaking piano! no really like CHORDS. i'm taping little pieces of paper on the keyboard so i can keep up. and with vera i'm on drums i love that one.
my drum teacher said a couple days ago when i told her i was stressed out with everything going on, "it's not that you are doing too much...it's that you are thinking about too many things at once in your head".
yes. i've been crazy busy before. the trick is to keep your focus and be in the present for each thing you are doing and then you won't get as tired.
need yoga, need a couple hours in bed. am at work instead to make money to pay off bills. aarghhh!!!
why is money so stressful?
happy new year!!
i read someone's journal this morning and she said she had a mix of new year's optimism and oh what's the point.
"this new year's warm, but i am worn"
1.3.5 yoko/calendar girl song.
music, soup, matt,and gummo.
that's all i want right at this moment.
calgon take me away.
when the chips are down i rally the team. double deuce is the best band!
