waffle and bumph
Nov. 6th, 2004 09:43 amI dreamed that I got a job setting up chairs and stands and stuff for rehearsals at Blackheath, and that it was £6/hour and easily 12 hours/week. It meant I had to arrive early and stay late for every rehearsal, but it also meant I wasn't skint. Too bad it was just a dream.
( How skint am I? )
( backing track - HELF )
( phone bumph )
( more busking bumph )
( plan for today )
Also, I would like to learn the harmonica. It is portable, polyphonic (well nearly - certainly capable of harmony, at least)... I could just keep one in my handbag. If I got good I could get another busking license for that. So, if any of you see a half-decent chromatic(hey, semitones are important!) harmonica in a second-hand shop, let me know ASAP.
It looks like I'm not actually required to be at most of the faculty study classes that happen on Thursday mornings. This means if I also have no Thursday rehearsals I have no classes on Thursdays. I'm not sure what to make of this. I've been going to all of the classes anyway because I figure I can learn from them. The microtonal trumpet one this week was kindof neat; I walked out of the flute one last week after halfway through, though. If I figure out which ones I have to go to a few weeks in advance then I could in theory haev a third morning of 8am busking most weeks, which would be VERY good. Too bad there are sometimes rehearsals on Thursdays right in the sodding middle of the afternoon, otherwise I could try to get some teaching in there and then go help with the Cub Scouts, which is something I miss doing.
I suddenly have an essay, a written assignment and a 15-minute stand-up presentation all due in the same week. Somewhere amongst all the busking and teaching and selling things on eBay and trying to run my life, I have to find time to do these things.
I'll be in Wave 5 of the London Run, which means I don't have to get to Canada Water until 20.30. This means it definitely won't interfere with my teaching that day (um unless I get more students by then), which is good.
I guess I'd better get going, lots to do today.
