sunny, 80 degrees

do you ever drink water and think, "This is life," and moan a little bit while youre drinking it because it feels so good to just be drinking water. am i weird?

went to see 300 at midnight last night. i like the fact that i am still affected by movies. when i left i was acting all tough. mentally, that is. i still am a little. im exhausted though. wednesday night i got about 4 hours of sleep after having a good workout, and then went home last night after work to work on music for tonight. im really quite worried about tonight. my friend sarah asked me to play for a gallery night for her school about 3 weeks ago, just "classy" background guitary stuff. i said yea, no problem. then about a week or so later she told me nevermind, her teacher had got a string quartet. then on wednesday night she called me back to tell me the string quartet canceled, can i still do it? well, id already gotten off work, so i said yea, sure. i guess. called up chase yesterday and i was really surprised when he said no. i mean, i understand his reasoning, but..i know that if the situation was reversed, i would be down to help him, no question. it's kind of making me sad.
anyway, went home last night to get some more songs worked out (you know, more than 2), and got all excited so that i couldnt take a nap, which i had fully intended to do. so i laid down for less than an hour, didnt even really go to sleep. then got another red bull/clif bar combo and went to the movie. which was awesome. youd be hard pressed ott walk out of that movie and not just want to say once, "yea, that was pretty awesome."
anyway, just did another red bull/clif bar combo. this is the best fake energy boost ive found. the red bull kicks you up pretty quick, and then by the time the red bull is fading the clif bar pops in. i like it. well, actually i love healthy sleep, but this will do for now.

so here's the setlist i have so far for tonight. not bad for one night's work if i say so myself. some are worse than others, but a couple of them i think i'll continue to work on. most of them i just slowed down to make it..countrified. one though i came up with a completely different melody:

all these things that ive done
dancing queen
do ya think im sexy
friday im in love
jealous guy
natural woman
over time
straight up
the sign

theres a couple more that im going to work on after work for a bit, see if i can get them sounding halfway decent, jessie's girl and time trap. i want to try and do a version of in the air tonight, but i just havent really figured out a way to do it. i dunno. it will be just me and my lonesome guitar. i figure i'll run through these, play around for awhile, or in between, then just put on some jazz records. i say records. you know i mean cds. bah.

im tired. man. i hope tonight i wont completely embarrass myself. cross your fingers. you.
