fyah bun homework!

all last week when i got done @ the radio station i had homework to do (until friday night, when we had some important liming to indulge in) so i glad last week is done. i did what i needed to for shakespeare, worked hard @ the station, and did a good job with that teaching application- of course, they then said they loved my proposal but needed to go with an organisation that could provide full-time teachers in the long term, so now i wanna call back and ask what their point was in calling me in the first place (yes, they called and asked me, not vice-versa) and asking me to apply and submit a syllabus, when they knew in advance i was a freelancer, not an organisation. much time spent on the coursework for the application, which i now feel was moot.
anyway, now i have a prepared syllabus if i ever need one, and i'm excited enough about the new season of shakespeare that i'm over not getting that gig. and it was a good week- i contributed music (stevie wonder's superstitious, naturally) for tomorrow's moog* (inventor of the synthesizer) radio segment (tech tuesday @ noon on 88.5fm) and helped with today's segment on the renewed medicinal use of leeches and maggots (which i wish i'd had time to blog about before it aired, for those who might've liked to listen, but you can find it @ http://www.wamu.org/ on the kojo nnamdi show archives) in between my own segments, so i'm pretty work-happy for now anyway. screw school.
this weekend, we limed with glen friday night, partied with kojo+pam+friends saturday night (a real grown-up party for her 50th b'day, so i had much fun and danced my ass off- the closest i've ever come to liking 50cent was when the old people took to the dance floor when in da club came on- felt like he shoulda used footage of that for his video instead- priceless), then last night i saw final dress for the shakespeare's othello, starring the brilliant avery brooks in the title role and he was sooooo goooood (of course, it ran over 3hours with intermission, but i'm sure they'll bring it in just under 3 by opening night).
tonight we hearing glen play @ tryst, which i always thought seemed too trendy for me, so it'll be my first time there. not that i care- i'm going for glen+jazz, and a date with ilana.
alright. must run so i can eat a pastelle before going to hear glen.
walk good.

*if you checking out the moog link, the 'wendy carlos' of "switched on bach" fame (mentioned in his bio) actually recorded that and the bulk of her work as 'walter' and then had a sex change operation, leading to scholarly confusion since most of the music was recorded as 'walter' and 'wendy' doesn't like to be called that anymore. so now she's called: 'uncomfortable-pause-uh-carlos'.
