101 degrees today.  Why?  Because, apparently, God decided to rent out Memphis to Satan, who's been screwing with the thermostat for the past few weeks.  I'm sorry...101 degrees happens elsewhere, in a place I'm not.  Not here when I'm here.  I wouldn't mind, except I was out and about all day.  In the heat.

First, I went to have a cavity drilled and filled.  Turns out there were two cavities.  And drilling hurts.  Afterwards, I hung out in Bartlett until lunchtime, when I conveniently remembered to call my Mom, who, with my grandmother, took me to Applebee's.  That was good.  After that, I headed out to my old church (FBC Fisherville) for about half an hour.  I played a few of my songs for the music minister, and he's going to let me sing one of them on Sunday, the 30th.  In addition to that, my Memaw's choir director and pastor both asked me to come sing at their church sometime.  No date on that yet, but I'm expecting it to be the morning of August 20.  That should be fun.
As far as music goes, I got what should hopefully be the final piano recordings done yesterday afternoon for 4 songs.  I've already got one song completely done (thanks, Josh and Liz!) from May sometime.  But the other four (one of which I haven't yet written...) have been recorded.  Now I'm going to find a time (probably tomorrow morning) when the house is empty again and I can record a clarinet part for one of the songs.  That should be funny.  After all of that's done, I'm going to try to find a good place to record vocals.  By the by - I was inspired today for two more songs.  One of them I already know won't work, but the other one, I believe, has potential.  So that should be fun.
I also found a nifty thing I've been looking at: http://magnatune.com.  It's basically an online music distributor that: 1. signs a 50/50 royalty, non-exclusive deal; 2. distributes your music online for small fees ($5-15 per cd); and 3. encourages file sharing.  I, personally, think that's cool.  They also try to market their musicians to companies and studios for commercials and soundtracks.  I don't think my music will work for that, but whatever.

Anyway, I realized last night that I'm hoping to be speaking at least 5 languages by the end of this year: English, Spanish, Italian, Irish Gaelic, and Latin.  I'm taking a French class, but it's supposedly not French as much as it is "Hey, look!  Final exam: What is the official language of France?"  Hopefully, though, independent study should help me some with that anyway.  And Liz can help, too, because she's just that nice and cool  @_@

So I was looking at my vocal range today, and a couple extra notes stuck.  Now on an average day, after warming up, I'm just two notes short of 3 octaves.  That makes me feel nifty.

You know, I talked a lot about music, but there's really not much else going on with me right now.  I've started playing America's Army: Operations again, but that doesn't take much time of the day...
I'm just boring right now.  Maybe something exciting will happen tomorrow.
