So, let's see... I took my pet rabbits to the vet a few days ago. It turns out that my bunny, Pauken, is not actually overweight, which is good. She's just a big bunny, that's all. But Ceilidh has an infection in her mouth from some overgrown teeth that were hurting her, and she lost a half pund (which isn't much when she weighed 3 1/2 pounds to begin with...) I have to give her medicine now every day, which she hates. So don't be suprised if in the coming days I start typing less. It'll be because my fingers will have been bitten of by an angry rabbit.
My dad got me a new iPod (a black one). See, I worked really hard to earn the money buy the last one, and it broke after only a month. So Dad thought it wasn't fair, so he bought me a new one, this time with a warranty. So that's what I'm listening to right now.
Speaking of music, I'm playing in a musical now. It's called "Seussical", a musical based on Dr. Seuss books. I'm playing mallet percussion, so I get to hit xylophones, tympani, bells, vibraphones, and various little cool fun noisemakers, such as the slide whistle and vibraslap! (picture below)
It's lots of fun to play all these instruments and make annoying noises right behind the piano player! whee
My only regret is that I can't see the show. Being in a deep pit, it's terrible to not be able to see the show. For example, in one scene, the crowd keeps on laughing every night at one spot in the show, but none of us musicians have any idea what they're laughing at. It's maddening, I tell you! But it's still lots of fun.
Playing musicals is my favorite thing to do! Did you know this is my 5th musical? Someday I want to join a real show for a while and go on tour! Wouldn't that be great?
