Better day today

May 2, 2007 at 3:23 PM

Today was a much better day than yesterday (sorry about my abrupt post).

My car got fixed, I got lined up for a newspaper article for my community news, I finally got my web server working properly (you can go visit http://www.benclapton.id.au and you will actually be connecting into my lounge room!) and I even managed to get a bit of practice in.

One girl who was reading my blog (I think she likes me, she read every blog that I have posted) suggested that I get less focussed on the practice element of my blogs. When I went through some of my old blogs I realised what she was talking about - a lot of them were "I did 3 hours practice today" Far out, I can't believe there's people out there that still read my blogs after going through a period like that. So I'm not going to tell you how much practice I did. Just the fact that I did some.

I should probably get some sleep so that I look pretty for my photo shoot tomorrow. ANd I'm going to be a complete Violin nerd and wear my Violinist.com t-shirt. I shall scan and post the article should it get published.

I should get around to doing that article. It's not "due" until Monday, so it looks like a Sunday night job for me.
I think that girl likes you too. She certainly seemed pretty interested on Saturday night.
