Well, I sent 3 e-mails out yesterday inquiring as to whether some upscale restaurants wanted to hire a harpist for a gig...we'll see how that goes. I'm not expecting anything but it would be nice to make an extra $50 now and then.
My first harp teacher used to play at a Chik-Fil-A once a month, just for publicity/tips. It really helps get the word out and is good business for the harpist and the restaurant, so I'm hoping that the ones I e-mailed realize that they have a great opportunity. I would love to be able to play once a month for 2 hours and make a little extra cash [for dollhouse stuff, haha]...
I watched 1/2 of "You Can't Take it With You" [directed by Frank Capra, based on a play by George S. Kaufman] last night - I'd seen it once but forgotten how quirky it was. If you like old black and white movies like "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," "Arsenic and Old Lace," or "The Little Shop Around the Corner," you'll probably love this one. It's the story of a very eccentric, artsy family and the one "sensible" granddaughter who is engaged to marry the son of a man who is trying to rid the family of their home. Complications and hilarity ensue.
I remembered my dream from the other night! And had another weird one. The other night I dreamed that someone really wanted the new Banana Nut Cheerios and I was trying to explain to them that we hadn't picked any up from Sam's club and that we couldn't get to them but then I was at Sam's and was picking them up and arguing with whoever it was about it...strange.
Last night I dreamed that my family and I were in a trailer on a property where lots of fairytale creatures lived or wreaked havoc occasionally [no, we were not in the movie "Shrek"]...we heard that a giant was coming and we had a little African-American baby with us so we wrapped her up in my purse and I put headphones on her and put my Discman in the purse so the baby would listen to music and fall asleep [except the headphones were slipping but the baby didn't mind] and I was preparing to take her away so the giant wouldn't come in and EAT her [isn't that awful?!?!] and my dumb sister [she's not really dumb in real life but she aggravates me in my dreams sometimes] opened the door and the giant came in [and shrank to our size] and wanted a tour of everything and I was trying to hide the baby and it turned into my brother Andrew and then I was hiding but I didn't need to so I came out, all in a bad mood and the giant was looking at all my dollhouse stuff which was in the freezer, and after she left I asked Nan what she meant by letting her in and she just shrugged and I was like "How were we in danger anyway, she's our size!" and she was like, "Well, I just knew that they ground bones for bread, so..."
Anyway, it was a weird dream. Not exactly sure why I dreamed all that. Must have been the Reese's Pieces I ate before going to sleep. :P
Have a lovely day, everybody.
