19:54: i know i'd said i'd write a review on two plays, but ... i don't really feel like it. heh.
it's a time for new beginnings, i guess. i'm on medication and a controlled diet for the next couple of weeks. no alcohol, no caffeine, no salty foods, no msg, no canned meats. that's really rough, considering in this house, the maid serves canned stuff half the time. i can't even eat sausages or ham or anything of the sort. and she keeps forgetting i can't eat the stuff. at least once a day, i scrounge for a muffin or toast or something i can take to go with my medicine. i miss coffee. and chai tea latte. and pepsi/dr.pepper/coke. i miss chips. got my new glasses, so that's helping me to battle the dizziness a bit better. also got a new phone, though i still need a new sim. i am now singing for two bands. lead for the jazz band and back-up for the rock band. i get to sing my brother's songs. it's hilarious. but i also get to sing a lot of other stuff i've always wanted to sing, so it's fun.
a young girl sent me a message on myspace because my profile said i was a jazz freak. she introduced me to the music of eldar. nice name, don't you think, tolkienites? eldar. i wondered if his skills fit the name, so i googled him. pocha. eldar nga talaga. he's an 18-year-old jazz pianist from kyrgyzstan. he started playing piano at age 3 or so, just from watching his dad and following. the kid is amazing! he is a combination of art tatum and oscar peterson. it's mind-blowing. his cd is definitely at the top of my wishlist. have a look and listen here and tell me what you think!
