"it's raining men" - northeastern university's spring revue"battle of the sexes"
hey all.
right now i am sitting in my living room with my cousin tiffani, watching the breakfast club. tiffani is in town to audition for a few days to audition for shows. she is finishing up a stint on the the wedding singer national tour, and is staying with us while she looks for her next gig. i've had a busy week and a half as usual, and am going to be heading back out tomorrow - i'm flying from newark to atlanta to see my sister & am so excited. being the ultimate planners that we are, we have already plotted the weekend out with all the stuff we love to do. it will include my first ever comedy show - i'm excited for that! i just got home from a weekend in boston...visiting friends & directing a number for NU's upcoming musical revue. I directed the show the last two semesters & i am trying to do my part this semester.
i am trying to start up a new blog based on pop music. my sister pointed out that since i like writing & i love to stay up to date with all things pop music, it might be something worth trying. here is the link: www.butletsbereal.blogspot.com. we'll see where it goes.
things at work are going well - jared's replacement has started working, so i am doing work for both of them now. i've been getting a little frustrated at the way they just move me around to make room for changes without much concern for me, but i am glad that jared made it a point to keep me with him & to have me teach the new guy some stuff. i've realized that as long as i'm an intern, i'm not really going to get much respect from the staff (other than that people like me and appreciate the work i do.) they just aren't going to go out of their way for anything. this, unfortunately, is the reason jared & his co-workers are often disappointed in the interns they get. when people don't get treated like they are legitimately part of the office & how it functions, AND they aren't getting paid for it, they're not going to have much reason to work hard. i am still working hard and building my relationships with the staff, and i'm not going to slow up or show that i am lazy (because this experience will ultimately be what gets me a job when i graduate), but it is definitely starting to bug me.
i'm working on my music - i've recorded about 12 songs or so this year. i like 4 of them enough to put on a cd - i am looking to record 3 or 4 more that i am happy with. this will be the 2nd "CD i have made," but the 1st with completely original music. you can listen to some of the stuff from my first cd (all cover material) here: reverb nation
so long.
