This was going to be another long drawn out complaint about my miserable job but, I think I'll take it another direction. Last week I went out shopping, bought new shoes, and scheduled a hair appointment. Why, you ask. Well, tonight is the one time a year dispatchers are recognized for our accomplishments and I made the mistake of thinking I was actually going. (silly me) I usually don't attend work functions but since Rama was being honored as the dispatcher of the year I wanted to support her. When I found out I wasn't going I was furious but not really surprised. (okay, the complaint part is almost over) Anyway.....As usual, I am stuck at work on a Saturday night at 1:10am. (Now for the good part.) Kell was allowed the night off several weeks prior to the banquet. Like me she went...

Another (short) quick post...... Good weekend. Hung out with Vett, went mini golfing and won!Then met Vetts cousin and friend from out of town for drinks at the Claremont in Berkeley. (Quick story) When we got to the bar there were several couples swing dancing. By the end of the 3rd song only one couple was left so I guess they decided to give us a show. While doing some type of spin throw move (always a bad idea after drinking) the male half of the duo threw his partner onto the stage where the band was playing. She landed on the speaker (on her head) knocking loose the wires, silencing the music, and the entire bar. After sitting for a moment she scraped herself (and her dignity) off the floor and headed for her seat to a round of applause. After the show we played a couple games of...

This is the email I received regarding yesterdays audition:
Man, I gotta say you have a SPECTACULAR voice!!! No shit. Not only an
amazing tone, but increible control and rhythmic sense. A solid musician as well as having a great voice.
This may sound odd, but you're actually too good for this band. Even if you
held WAY back, the sound would always be your voice, not the band. You're
impossible to just sort of blend in. Does that make sense? You're such a
strong vocalist and presence.
It would be Brandy with some band backing her up. You're great.
Thank you SO much for coming in. It was a real treat to hear you sing my
music.
Overall this was a positive experience but I'm still disappointed. I guess that means back to the drawing board.......Again....
......So I finally go to the doctor and what do you think happens? My long lost visitor decided to show up immediately after the appointment. Figures, but I had a great weekend anyway. Never made it shopping with Kell however we did go out for drinks, dinner, pool, and other misc. trouble. I was reminded why alcohol and boredom aren't a good combination. My guitar lesson went well. I'm learning "Beautiful Surprise" by India.arie and I don't really have much else to say about that. Vet, Rama and I had a great time at Yoshi's after shopping all day. That concludes all weekend updates.
Next on the agenda....Music!!! I think I already mentioned that I quit the band I was in for all of 2 weeks. I planned to take a break before finding another one but as usual I changed my mind. I auditioned...
