la_belle_laideAloha e! Tomorrow is the first Hula show of the season so far. It's a small deal. Just a birthday party, 45 minutes, and I think 80 bucks each or something. It's way the hell in frigging Commack but eh, I drive an hour and a half to school two days a week so I really shouldn't complain much. I still need directions, which I haaaaaaate, but hey.
The real big show, the one I'm really excited for, is on July 11th. That's one for a local fire department and we're gonna do a big production on that one. They want us to do a fire entrance and light some torches or something like that. I'm halfway almost kinda semi considering writing my own chant for that and doing it live. Maybe? O Pele ku'u akuahine, mahalo e ka wahine kapu o ka lua e, ha'ahea ka lei lehua o ka wahine o Puna, O Pele ke Akua o ke ahi e, e o mai, e ala e, e o mai! or something like that. I dunno, I just made that up. OTOH, maybe an actual invocation to Pele while lighting fires isn't the best idea? O_o Maybe something to Laka at the end instead or something.
So I got my (FREE!) shiny new iPod Touch in the mail and a program to load into my new computer that will let me run Windows programs (hurray,) but still as of yet no shiny new computer. Next week, I guess. But until then I can't: burn any music, rip any music, sync my iPod, paint, draw, make any business cards, and all of the other things that I pretend I'm going to do any day now but then keep putting off anyway. Still, it's good to have the option, you know?
Today I went out shopping for Father's Day gifts and I got the most fantastic thing for my cousin Timmy, and I couldn't find anything really fabulous for my own Dad. He asked for a DVD and I got him that, as well as some cards, and OMG Jo-chan's birthday is around the corner and I got her a card and her gifts are all sitting here, she is going to be 17, WTMFF?
I also took Sano down for his follow up blood test, like we do every week now to the tune of 60 bucks each time. Last week his platelets had dropped again and my Wonderful Friend Kim said, "But you can't really trust the machine, because platelets clump and the machine can't read them like that. You have to look at a slide." So the platelets looked low again today and the Dr. was like, "WTH?" and so she looked at them on a slide instead and found, hurray, that the dropping platelets was machine-error and his platelets are, in fact, back to normal! (*KNOCK ON WOOOOOD*) Which means I can start to wean him off the pred, thank god because I HATE stupid pred. It's turning him into such a pain in the ass, with the constant food-seeking. Also it has totally wasted his muscles down to nothing--he even looks about three inches shorter in his shoulders--and he's a drinking and pissing machine. Seriously, the dog pees for like a minute at a time, looking at me like, "OMG, I cannot stop." He's like me, when I see movies with Ewan McGregor, or Joaquin Phoenix or Le Jared or something, except he doesn't squee.
Denzeru the baby crow continues to heal (the belly wound is almost all closed!) and eat and grow and be generally nauseatingly adorable.
Let's see, what else? Oh, I remember. I had my myo practical mid-term yesterday and it went really well. I'm pretty sure I got them all right. Next week I have the Myo written, Eastern Nutrition written, and Swedish tech practical which should go fairly well, at least I hope. Then the following week I have Swed Tech written and that's going to be harder. Why? Because the professor "borrowed" by supplemental text on the second day, then lost it and never replaced it. I ask her about it every week. "Do you have a text for me?" And she seems to remember it only when I mention it, and tells me, "No! And it's really pissing me off!" Yeah? It's pissing YOU off? I paid for the goddamn thing, it's got answers to questions that we don't go over in class (because, hi, it's a tech class,) I no longer have it in my possession, you can never seem to remember having "borrowed" it from me and it's pissing you off? Okay!
Tch! Whatever. I should really start to get into my Hula Zone. Although I think that every year, and I'm never really in it until the show, and by then it will be fine anyway. ^_^ No worries, brah!
