My mom has always been fond of saying I may have a very unstable unpredicatable life but there's never a dull moment. I do love that part and yet... that is probably my complaint at times because, let's face it.......we all like to eat on a regular basis. But yeah, things can change in a whirlwind kinda way.
GETTING BACK INTO THE GROOVE
Wow. It's been really weird being back from Japan. The trip was soooooooooo fun and I loved playing on stage every night. Tokyo is like NYC on speed for me. I just get completely energized. We're looking at doing a Japanese-only release of our cd and going back for a looooong tour in October. I hope it happens! In the sense of putting my efforts towards something positive.......I've started to actually learn to speak Japanese! Ha! Just baby steps right now.......but I figure I can listen to the cd's while I'm knitting. I'm all about that multi-tasking way of life.
ON THE NEGATIVE
On the opposite end of the spectrum........in Tokyo we were surrounded by good vibes and people who all work together to make it happen. When we came back, there was an outstanding invoice for some digital video work we'd sent to someone's management. (no names here, please) I won't go in to the details.......but the manager called today and after hanging up on Bam.....Bam phoned him back....with such amazement that he thought the phone line had cut out. At which point, the manager hung up on him again. So Bam still thought, hey, the phone is being weird. He called him back again! Then, the manager accused Bam of trying to rip him off and went on and on and escalated to stating he knew where we lived and he was sending bikers 'round to beat us up. WHAT THE F***?????????????
This was soooooooooo shocking to both of us.......wow.
It's amazing how bizarre folks can act isn't it? That's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to us from trying to collect a payment from someone. Wow.
BUT ANYWAY...........
But you know.........I bounce back. Sometimes it takes me a day or two or three...but I do bounce back. Right now, I'm so pissed at that guy for making threats....(that's just soooooo lame...and school bully mentality)....that I'm bouncing back fast. So...........
With that in mind..........
I'm going in to the living room to knit and watch Forrest Gump!
ha!
Take that you bully you!
Tomorrow's post will be much more knitter normal! (if there is such a thing.)
I downloaded a sample of Talking Panda for my iPod; I don't know if it would help you learn - it makes me giggle. You select a sentence (in English) and then a very droll voice says it in Japanese, verrrry slowly and with verrry careful pronounciation.
What is up with would rather send bikers around than pay his bill? That man needs to learn to knit.
