My New Best Friend

I'm bored. That has been my motto for the past three years. Here I am in Wichita, Kansas working on my Masters Degree in Horn performance and I am bitching about not having enough to do. I know, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. My first semester I watched A LOT of T.V.. In all fairness, it was the first time that I had access to cable television since MTV got taken away for filling my head with all sorts of suggestive messages. Second semester...what did I do second semester? I think that was when I played poker all night and ventured into the wonderful world of beer. It is soooo good. Cave Creek Chili Beer is nooooo good though. I can't remember what I did to fill my time last year. Hmmm. Thinking.....thinking.....thinking......GOT IT. That was the year I got calendar raped by my boss. When I wasn't at school I was at work. And when I was supposed to be at school I was at work. When I should have been sleeping I was at work, and when I was supposed to be practicing guess where I was-at work. I don't seem to have that particular problem lately. Hehehe. Now it is a new problem. "Mom, I'm bored." (you just gotta say in that 2 year old turned 25 whiney voice that all children no matter what the age can master) I could practice. But I do a lot of that as it is. So what do I do when I am not practicing or in rehearsal or teaching lessons? I don't know. The last few days I have been working on a story. It's quite a bit of fun and OMG relaxing for the most part. You can view the star of my latest creation below. (Hint: his name is Samuel and he is a porcupine) I know I am not even close to a good artist, but I thought he turned out kind of cute. A little strung out looking, YES. But cute nonetheless. (Jeffery thinks he looks like a big old nasty juicy bug that went splat on the window of a car traveling 65 MPH)
