patience

One thing that this bout with tendinitis is teaching me is better time management. Though my arms are gradually getting better, it's going slowly. At least my arms aren't in constant pain anymore, which is a Good Thing. I can generally type for about ten minutes or so before my arms start going into rice pudding mode. Then I generally type for another five minutes until my little Konfabulator guy nags me to take a break.

Because I have such limited time on the keyboard, I've had to heavily cut down on a lot of my favourite keyboard activities, like visiting chats, journals, message boards, personal e-mail. Don't think I'll be able to play any guitar at Ad Astra or FKO, but should be okay with flute as long as I don't push it. Not sure about my percussion-bangystuff (tambourine, etc.). Rand and Adam are borrowing all my percussion for recording on their new CD project, but Rand promises to bring it to Ad Astra in time for our concert. Hopefully I'll actually be able to play it by then.

Speaking of music, I recently listened to the newly-mastered Urban Tapestry CD from Chris Conway. Sounds great! Allison, Jodi & I are pretty excited about this new CD project. I've started working on the liner notes, which we intend to include all the lyrics to the songs on our CD.

To those of you who went to Consonance:

So how was it? Any reports online?

Recently viewed movies:

Waiting For Guffman
Directed by Christopher Guest, who also did Best in Show (and played Nigel in Spinal Tap. This movie was shot in about a month, with no script. Pretty amusing, though I liked Best In Show more. Amazing to contrast Christopher Guest's character in this movie to the one he played in Spinal Tap, and then again to Best in Show. Don't think I'd recognize the fact that these characters were all played by the same guy unless I was specifically looking for him.

Philadelphia Story
Enjoyable movie. Love Katherine Hepburn. Nice twist at the end, not what I expected.
