Saturday night and here we are blogging

&tIt Saturday on the east coast of Australia. 7:50pm and that's around 2:am in Victoria & Seattle, 3 am in Calgary and later and later on the other side of North America That's Well evenign on Saturday for us and early mornign saturday for the NA folks anybody else just has to email me and I'll setup another clock widget in my dashboard for your timezone.

Well I have been busy the past weeks. I have started practising my drum, my bodhran and doing my music theory books, I've been setting up my 'shave' campaign, doing preliminary things to help the production of Oklahoma, getting mentally ready and practising getting up early for school and  finding time to play with bluey and Chilli.

I've got to do a glucose tolerance test as my local GP doesn't like my sugar levels but Doc Schoozenbootz didn't seem to worry but I'm going in on tuesday to keep doc blueberry happy. Other then that I'm doing really well.

I dropped in the Red Cross the other day as i had business next door and on the spur of the moment went it to the brand new shiny collection centre just to say Hi and 
thanks. I told them I was an end user of their product and wanted to see where it came from. a nice Nurse named oops just about forgot.....gracious nurse showed me around to every room and nook intorduced me to all the staff and the volunteers I got to meet and cheer on a young lad giving his first bag. He was type O so I may get his blood products in two weeks so I really Thanked him! 

I did an interview with the local paper and it's in today. Its a launch of the World's greatest Shave its here at photobucket if you want to see it. 

I've made a pitch to a local Hotel to do the shave event there on Saturday the 15th and I think they are going to go for it. so My hair comes off then.  I'm putting up posters around town to encourage others to join in to shave or color or perhaps for guys to wax their legs. So far bluey is coloring along with a few friends.  Our pal Louise who runs a local beauty salon and her offsider Kirsty are shaving. We have two hairdressers on board to help out and they are even up for a package deal. Like a beauty treatment, hair cut ans dinner out for a price thats gets money into each of the sponsors and to the foundation.   I'm getting excited. we are planning on using a team name  'Close Shave"

More later

Hey Uncle Chris! I didn;t know you were taking up music theory! If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail them to me. I am a professional you know, and as lame as it sounds, I get so excited when people ask music theory questions!

why then do we call them quavers, crotchet,,minim and semibreves instead of eighth, quarter, half and whole notes?
really what is that about?

Oh I don't call them those names I guess. What music theory are you studying? Is it in french? By the way did you notice the Academy Award nominations have been posted? Any plans for a pool again?
