Wow! Last nights gig was amazing. A lot of it has to do with a classical guitarist I met named Adam............. Friday, July 12, 2002
And the sick goes on.... la di da di da..... No news on the illness front. I'm still horribly sick. Yuck! I did sing at Sax last night. Ha! Sing? Actually it was a strange singing, wheezing, coughing hybrid that sounded not unlike a strange Alien mating ritual. Actually it didn't sound too bad though it did feel as if an alien were about to burst through my chest cavity. I have to leave for tonights gig in a couple of hours. I don't want to goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However, I really need the money as it is my neices birthdaytomorrow, and providing I am healthy enough to sit upright for an hour I would like to take her to see "Lilo and Stitch". Have you heard of Josh Groban? You soon will. I've been nuts about this guy for about 10 months and now it seems the world is finally catching up. He has the most amazing voice I've ever heard, bar none. I saw him on Oprah yesterday and wow! what a sweetie and what an incredible talent. I now have a new goal. To sing with this amazing man. If you'd like to check him out go here. You can actually listen to the album online. Thursday, July 11, 2002
I am still sick. I am also thoroughly and completely sick, of being sick. I've now moved out of the "lead weights in my lungs" portion of the game and moved into the "sneezing, coughing, pulled all the muscles in my chest" lightening round. I totally understand how Sarah is feeling. I have also had to make that less than difficult decision, "To eat or to breath?". AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I just got off the phone with Ken. We're playing at Sax's tonight. I have no idea how I'm going to get through the night. Any suggestions? I will take any and all advice on getting though 4 hours of singing while fighting off the urge to cough till you puke. Feel free to e-mail me all suggestions to tamara@wildbutterfly.net On the upside, Jenny liked the treatment/script. She's going to put together a bunch of suggestions/ideas so we can make this a truly kick ass movie. I am soooo happy she is on board. I don't think Jen realizes the kind of talent and energy she is going to bring to this project. Just talking to her on the phone gets me excited and feeling that this isn't just a silly pipe dream we have but a real, viable idea that we are going to be able to accomplish. I really believe that all the extra time we are going to be able to spend on the movie is going to make it that much better. I suppose I should attempt to get some work done. I'll post later.

Out Damn Cold! Hey! When did I start titling my posts? Sometimes I just can't resist. If you haven't guessed by now I'm still sick. Agrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! On the plus side, I'm sooooo not hungry. I'm still working on my chicken on whole wheat from yesterday. It just takes to much effort to breath and chew. Though I did, in a weak moment last night, have some chocolate. What? You havne't read the latest medical findings? Chocolate is a miracle food. Guarteened to make you feel better. Just ask Sarah, I'll bet she'd concure, and she's "Biology Girl" . Hey Sarah, does that title come with any super powers? I just spent the last 2 hours visiting the websites of all the women who droped by my guestbook to congratulate me on "Site of the Week". What an amazing bunch of ladies!!!!  Tuesday, July 09, 2002
A Star is Born Some stuff I bought off Ebay just arrived at my door. Including "Recruits", possibly the worse movie ever made. Why in the world did I buy it? Because I'm in it!!!! :) I just fast forwarded through it and yes, there I am,I was 12 when they filmed it. What a kick!!!!! Deep (and medicated?) Thoughts Chalk it up to the Advil cold and flu if you will but my mind has been buzzing this moring. As I was surfing around reading some friends blogs, I began to click on links in their posts and read other peoples blogs. What I find truly amazing is this: so much is said about the internet depersonalizing and in fact isolating people and yet I'm seing a strong trend in the opposite direction. Blogs espically are wonderful communication tools. I love being able to spend that 5 minutes I have between students and go to Sarah or Jenny's blog and see how their day was. I couldn't do that with email or even phone. Ah ha! You think. There it is. Blogs cut out the need for personal contact. Not so. I still crave physical connectedness. I love being able to see my friends in person and give them a hug or look at them while I'm talking to them. Blogs help bridge the gap. I know far more about what's going on in Jen and Sarah's life than I would if we only emailed and talked on the phone (long distance rates, a rant to and of itself!). On a less personal note, blogs are also a neat way to get to know someone you've never met with out any of the preconcieved notions you develop when meeting someone in person. Online groups are similar in nature. I love my designer's group. It's nice to know that when I look in my mail box, chances are there will be a friendly email waiting. Does this mean that I or any of us, substitute online anonymity or real world friendships? No. I read Sarah's blog today and she had a wonderful weekend at a convention where she go to meet and hang out with online friends. I supose there are those who live exclusively online and that's a shame. The world is a big beautiful place and we should all get out and live in it but for those times when we don't have the time or the energy to do so it's nice to know that being online can make you feel a little less alone. I think I need more Advil. I am sick. It doesn't happen all that often but it always seems to occur at the most inopertune times. I am so busy this week. I have rehersals every night and a gig on Thursday and Friday and I am weighted down with a chest cold and irritated asthma. Though I am very grateful that it hasn't migrated to my head or nose. I can live with any illness except a head cold. I went to bed at 10:00pm last night, (I haven't been to bed that early in years!) and while I did wake up every couple of hours or so coughing I managed to stay more or less horizontal until 8:45am. That's a record for me. When I checked my email this morning I had such a wonderful suprise. It was stuffed full of "You have a new message in your guestbook", so I went to my website and checked it out. I've been awarded Site of the Week by my womens group. Yea me!!!!! Our group, Women of Strength and Inner Beauty, is one of the largest on the internet so you can guess how thrilled I am to have been chosen from such a large group. My gig at Sax last week was really good. We played exceptionally well and landed a gig out of it. No freaky people in attendance I'm happy to report. :) I have tons more to tell but my head is all swimmy. Later. |
