i had another great interview today. tragically they are sort of in limbo until the end of the month when they see what they can afford but he definetely wants to bring me on for a class in october. he made comments about hoping i still had availability then so there seems to be some implication of good possibilities for picking up classes. now i just have to get off my ass and GET MORE CLASSES!

*clears throat*
i almost forgot to write in my blog tonight because I've been making another mixed tape for the car. the other new tape is great but i'm already wanting something to swap it with. the nice thing is that i didn't have to repeat much to get a pretty damm cool tape. That's sort of good and bad, it means that I had a lot of music to choose from (props to the neighbours for some great additions) but it also means i haven't made a mix in forfuckingever.
sometimes i'll listen to the really old ones and laugh my head off at my musical choices. funny how young my taste in music was. i wonder if i'll say that when i'm 50 about the mixes i make now? I have to confess I'll be sad when I don't get to make mixes anymore. It's like modern technology has taken away something that used to be really cool. I love to mix songs into a crazy and illogical weaving and then enjoy the weave for ages in my car.
It just won't be the same with an ipod or a shuffle or whatever the toy du jour is.

So yeah, bouldering outside. not stoked at all nope nope. not stoked about camping with several of my favourite people either. not stoked about drinking irish whiskey in the bush or eating fantastic bush food. of course super stoked about shitting in the woods!
.
damm these sheva guys are amazing.
so have nothing to say. interestingly the man who interviewed me today was almost as attractive as the one who interviewed me yesterday. more real in some way. i think because he comes from a more similar place to me so it's easier to understand. he used to sell mutual funds or something and work in an office.
it's funny cause he has that office worker body builder look a little. Sort of still has shoulders that are rounded forward a little but they're nonetheless all muscley. it was neat anyway. i won't explain because none of you are body workers and i don't envy anyone listening to be rap anatomy and movement.
well unless you're in the biz and then it's probably interesting.
must sleep :)

hey ... I'm a body builder!!
I just chose to build a ROUND body! LOL
I was going through my CDs (haven't had any mixed tapes since 19-forgotten, but I think it's cute) and found one I totally forgot I had: Whodini — The Jive Collection: Volume 1. Wowzers.
Five Minutes of Funk.
Freaks Come Out at Night.
Big Mouth.
Friends.
Funky Beat.
I'm a Ho.
Help me! I'm caught in a 1980s rap-scene flashback! *beat-boxing*
hey round is for sure a shape... butyou knew what i meant about office worker body builders didn't you?
all gym muscles...
also, i LOVE making mixes.... i'm sad that technology is killing that alittle. being able to skip sorta ruins it
just curious, how do you do the mixing thing?
i'm using ipod now, but it's tedious having to set up tonnes and tonnes of playlists, because we all know that music tastes change very often! plus it's not exactly easy to handle the ipod (with its clicking wheel) whilst driving, so in the end i just end up listening to the same old favourite songs...
cast: thanks for that elucidation on gym muscles, i may use it as an example with my clients. you're absolutely correct and i've noticed it myself when i was 'working out' instead of using my body.
interestingly i find that pilates translates a lot more to real life activity than traditional weights work. climbing and swimming also translate nicely :)
castu: hmmm a ten hour mix? i could do that if i had 500 more CDs :)
nerd: i stick the tape in the stereo and fast forward and rewind it once to stretch it. then i stick it on record/pause and get the first song ready... then i press unpause and play on the cd and record a song, then i pause the tape again, get the next song ready...
it was easier when my three cd deck was still working because i could get the next two tunes ready while the current one was taping. i'm pretty good though because i can make a 90 minute tape in about 2 hours when i'm cooking.
if i had an ipod it would live on random
see the thing is castu that for me the art of the mix comes from listening to songs as i play them and finding the groove that fits next. i can't just do that from a list unless i play the list as i put it together...
that said, i can just tell i'm going to end up with an ipod.
yeah i seem to have a scary talent for mixes... actually i think you've heard one or two?
it's all about the beginning of the next song... the first 15 seconds somehow...
i don't want a shuffle, no control :)
well it would be fun but i ALSO want control when i don't feel like being random
it all sounds pretty technical to me.
i'm with castu on the bit we shouldnt exactly be looking down at it when driving.
the bad comes with the good, all the time.
