Too Good For Resolutions In 2005?
I think I have finally recovered from the whole New Year's weekend. My band, That 80's Band (www.that80sbandstl.com) played at the Hyatt Union Station (St. Louis, MO) with a band called Joe Dirt and The Dirty Boys Band on New Year's Eve for 700+ people, then played at Harrah's Voodoo Lounge (also St. Louis) the next night. Let me tell you, these gigs take a lot out of me. Not only is there more mental preparation with this band, but there is more physical preparation. Though I have fun with the theatrical make-up (thank you, Ben Nye), wigs, clothes, and all, my skin isn't always as appreciative and my poor little feet hate the high heel sneakers I wear. I am loving the false eyelashes, though! By Sunday, my whole body ached from dancing around like an arse Friday and Saturday night. I took Monday and Tuesday off of work to help in the recovery process and I am feeling much better, now. I hope to have pictures to post very soon!
I guess if I have to make a resolution, it is to finally finish recording my CD, so I can get my singer-arse out in the clubs. I wrote three new songs the other night that I want to record. Usually songs do not come flying out of my head like that, so there must have been a lot of thoughts building up in my noggin, and someone opened the safety valve. Also, yesterday I bought a new keyboard. I bought a Yamaha S08. It has 88- hammered- action keys (the action is to die for), a sequencer, lots of great voices, and a floppy drive, I believe. The only problem is, the store I bought it from was sold out, so I am having it shipped from another store in Chicago. It will make a most-excellent song writing and recording tool.
Okay, so I thought of another resolution. I am going to watch less television. The only shows I plan on watching on a regular basis are "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" ('cause Vincent D'Onofrio is a fine actor and quite handsome) and "Monk." I love neurotic detectives, and these characters are indeed neuorotic. I have plenty of Cohen brothers, Peter Sellers, Charlie Chaplin, and Tim Curry movies to keep me from watching all of the other useless crap on cable.
There's another resolution- To get off of my arse in general! I will stick to doing my pilates at least three times a week.
Anyhoo, if anyone out there happens to read this, Thank You for reading my babble. I promise not to let you down in the babble department this coming year! Oh, and,
Happy New Year!
