Personal stuff...

Tomorrow I am going to a celebrity rock band in Long Island.
A friend got me a ticket and I figured, what the heck, gets me out of the house, out of my head, and out of the city for a bit - also a way to interact with this lovely friend, whom I adore (in a strictly platonic non-sexual way of course). The celebrity rock band is Ghost in The Robot. While I am curious about this - I am not expecting much. Very low expectations.
With any luck it will kill the longing I seem to have to see more of a certain particular actor in action. Doubtful, considering his poor singing is unlikely to change my views of him in the least. I tend to be pretty forgiving when it comes to bad music - since I can't do it myself and have no ear for it. Anything I can't do myself, and desperately wish I could, I'm forgiving of other's attempts in, I completely understand the wish-fulfillment. If I was famous and could get away with a garage rock band - I'd do it, especially since I've always had a secret fantasy about being a rock singer (blew Kid Bro away when I said that...poor boy, he thinks he knows me.) When one is tone death they can't hear themselves sing - they think they sound wonderful while everyone else is plugging their ears. It's a horrible experience discovering you can't sing, believe me. It's why I will not watch that travesty called Superstar. Evil show. Commercials alone make me cringe.

Volunteer interview thing went well. Clicked with the head person who is laid back and is like me, chronically early for things. A blessing and a curse. On the one hand - you're rarely late, on the other - you are always waiting for people. I start next Wed, assuming of course that I don't get a job first. They understand job comes first. It's pretty straight-forward. I organize their books and filing - figure out what they have and set up a way of organizing it. I might also get to sit in on any interviews they conduct with local/city political candidates. But it's too early to know about that for sure.

Hoping next Tuesday's interview for real job goes nearly as well. Worried about it. Especially since I haven't heard back from any of the other places I've sent stuff to lately. I know, I know - it's Memorial Day Weekend, I need to be patient. Feel a bit like one of those people from the musical Chorus Line who sings that ditty - "Please God, I need this job, I really need it..." (Ugh I can't remember lyrics - just the tune..which I can't hum aloud for someone because, tone death, it is in my head though.)

The music isn't great, but I like it...and JM does have a great stage presence, good singer or not. He is a great actor, and on stage he acts like a great rock star, even if he really isn't. If that makes any sense whatsoever.
