INSPIRED
After my cold shower and a nap yesterday, I sat down to work on music, and haven't gotten up for about 30 hours.... OK, that's not entirely true, but I have been working with a great deal of motivation. It is AWESOME.
I watched an great musical called Light in the Piazza by Adam Guettel with K Thursday night, and I think that's a big part of it. Since yesterday, I've completed 2 projects that were hanging over my head (A piece for a brass band in Arizona, and a multi-movement string trio), and gotten 2 minutes of a musical-style song written. Since I started dating her, K has exposed me to a lot of good music from a genre that I used to think was very, very cheesy. Turns out musical theatre is a lot deeper than The Phantom of the Opera and Fiddler on the Roof.... who knew?
If I'm able to do so, I'll post some links to FULL recordings by Jason Robert Brown and the aforementioned Adam Guettel. Two awesome, young musical theatre composers.
Here's to hoping I can keep this trend up (and to hoping I can write some good words to this song...)
-----------------
And by the way, I decided not to go to Hawaii. But let me explain a bit... I talked to my mom about it, and kinda figured out more of why she was supporting me. She didn't want me to go. HA! Not in a bad way, she just said "I think your dad and I would have more fun if you didn't go. So I'm asking you not to... and don't tell your dad" She might as well have followed it up with, "because we're gonna make mega-whoopee." Gross.
I was actually leaning towards going for a better part of the week, but when she told me that, I thought it would be nice to let them have their trip. I feel fine about it, and I think they do too.

Oh..my..freaking..god....LOL!
It's nice that your mom wanted to have this trip for your dad and her. They'll have fun. And you will have more time to spend w/ K and figure out where things might be going...or just having a lot of fun! :)
