I pretty much like any horror movie that comes out, so..

I'm at my parents' ranch for the night waiting on my overly active mother to finish watering the plants, practicing her music for tomorrow, and studying her Sunday school lesson before we can watch movies.
Feeling a little ignored and bored at the moment!
She'll then get upset at not spending any time together when I crash at 10 PM. Lol -

Your mom does music at church? So did I! I'm trying to become a classical violinist now.

I accompanied 3 Catholic masses total during high school, organ and keyboard … and in junior high (6th grade) some on piano where I used to live. Then, I went to college and was a music major. I still sang in their church (chapel) choir. The piano at church is quite indispensable. I also like a good guitar or so to go with it. I had this great piano teacher and her sister also teaching music and when I did choir with them … and I saw my piano teacher play on Sunday night like with guitars and tambourine maybe, quite the best I've encountered for church music, and it was traditional music so very pretty and not like progressive pop that teens and young adults do. This was back in maybe 1998 or 1997. It was at the oldest church parish in the US, in the oldest continuing city in the US. I lived there grades 4, 5, and 6.
Thanks for the encouragement!
Yea, I had to take things off my schedule to focus on a professional career, and I didn't play violin at church. I wanted to play violin since I was 6 but started at 18. I started piano at age 9, 4th grade. I wanted to sing since I was 5 and we had kids songs when I was little and Barney … and I got to sing in church/school choir since age 8. I stayed when we moved except 2 years when they didn't have it, and I got into musical theater mostly on my own. We watched musical theater in music class in 6th grade, but it was rather pleasant, though we didn't get to watch Andrew Lloyd Webber, as
Cats
and
The Phantom of the Opera
weren't out, yet, anyway. I was interested in classical, and I feel I "missed the boat" but saved by church music.
I hope your mom has a good time tomorrow! I have a friend whose mom is an avid choir member in the oldest church, which I mentioned. Actually, the building was burned once, though.
That's cool you're on a ranch, a bit fancier than my family has out in the country or something, farming family ancestrally. My dad was on a farm, too, though, he says.
Did you ever play the violin? or your favorite instrument/s?

No, I've never been musically inclined at all! Played the xylophone as a kid (because that's what all the cool kids do
), but even then I sucked at it. Taught myself a few things on the piano, some modern, some classical, but suck at that, too. Lol -

I played something like a xylophone in band 1 year of high school and 1/2 year of college. It's called a glockenspiel or bells or "glox." I played at football games but only home ones and it was my senior year at a new high school.
Yea, in piano, I liked learning a little blues from my dad and in the lesson books. I wanted to teach myself, but my parents put me in lessons. I had quit gymnastics and was in art for 1/2 year.
I remember getting a bunch of classical CDs from my parents, at least ruined in Hurricane Katrina if not lost before.
I've also done musical theater and some pop.
I have trouble not hitting other strings still but need more practice. I might have it unfair as I might have damaged the nerves in my arms hitting my desk and the computer keyboard when mad.
I also like to sing, and liking to sing my whole life it's good for your voice.

I am not sure the Oscars will stream online, and I was gonna go to a bar to watch it … but the bus doesn't run late then. I don't get TV and so am not sure I will see it. They might have the Red Carpet online.

Hi, Monicah!
Glad to have you back! I knew you would be just fine.
Roller skating! That was three hours of skating for the same price as one hour of ice skating. Ice skating is definitely more fun, though, since it's refreshingly chilly.
Fingers crossed that your job gives you that schedule change! Working on the weekends is definitely terrible when all your friends only work during the week. It's impossible to make plans.
I'm sorry your day at Universal didn't work out.
Do you have a year pass or were you just there for the day? ET isn't that great of a ride anyway, so you didn't miss much.
Drink some water! It'll help that headache go away in no time.

Idk finna do a whole lot of doing not a whole lot. Went and saw the Demon Slayer movie (for those not in the weaboo circle, Demon Slayer in an anime series.) Before that I took a long nap. Before that I did a fun work thing where I drove almost an hour to work to do some **** for them only to find out that no one was even there! Got nothing on the schedule tomorrow ‘cept doing some dozing, video game playing, and watching some baseball and/or anime as the Lord intended. I am his chosen disciple and he has reserved a spot in heaven for me.
Amen.
I live. I die. I live again. -

Demon Slayer is an excellent series.
A bit cheesy, but a fun watch nonetheless. How was the movie? Was it as enjoyable as the show?
Sounds like an excellent weekend, honestly.

The movie was basically a two-hour episode of the show… which is to say it was excellent. Definitely as enjoyable as the show if not more since there was no having to wait weeks to see the arc get resolved.

Shit's fun, but also hell on earth thanks to the double masks, and a little bit terrifying due to all the kids purposely knocking each other down in everyone else's way. I miss being rubber like that.
Aaaawwwww ****!
