So, uh.... "Fire up the ovens Muffin Man, cos we got a big order to fill!"
*waves* Hi everyone, I'm Beadpixie. You might remember me from such ljs as...well, this one! With cameos and other sorts of guest appearances in comment sections of various other people such as...well, you know who you are :D
I'm back temporarily darlings, because as I was reminded by
wickedcherub when we went to see Shrek 2 today, I really should check in every few months to remind everyone that I'm not dead or permanently locked in a practice room or something. Although, this last point hasn't been far from the truth.
It's been crazy this semester - in addition to studying full time, I've been madly dashing between rehearsals and practice rooms and lecture theatres and schools and whatnot, not to mention the whole I-keep-having-to-travel-interstate for training orchestra programs. More about that in another entry though.
As some of you would have heard, I'm going to be travelling to Europe in just over a month on an orchestral tour...it's 7 countries in 3 weeks (hey, that's a big thing when you come from an island nation!!), including concerts at some of the biggest and most prestigious (not to mention famous!) venues in Europe (we're talking the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Royal Albert Hall in London for a concert at the Proms etc) so it's all pretty exciting. Talk about living the jetsetting life this year!
On things non-musical (which are few and far between these days), I am behind in movie releases. I -have- seen HP3 and Shrek 2, but still haven't seen Kill Bill vol 2, Troy, Van Helsing or really anything from that time period a few months ago. I blame auditions and having wonderful musical opportunities :D
So really, everything is fine and is hitting a bit of a lull at the moment because I've got my last exam on Thursday (which I'm not being assessed on, huzzah!) and I'm toning down on the viola practice at the moment. Did I mention that I semi-crippled my left hand about a month ago due to overuse? Silly, silly Bead, who will have to re-do her technique next semester unless she wants to have permanent damage and no career.
Anyway, I think that's enough for a general admission entry. Stay tuned and logged in for the next, more detailed, less vague entry!
