My shoulders are mush . . .
First off, I just wanna clarify a bit . . . MiasmaMoon, the reason I didn't use your thing was because I had already used it once before in a thing of trivia where I explained that my middle name is actually my Chinese given name. In any case, my Chinese name is Juen-Fei. As for my last name, well . . . it's (kinda like) this:
(Hey, gotta try to keep at least a little anonymity, ne?)
While on the subject of Chinese-type things, the performance wasn't too bad. It just happened to be really, really long. I'll put it this way: crash cymbals are played with endurance in mind. Your hands absorb all the vibrations, you have to play loud because outside the casino because of waterfall thingies, and you're gonna be crashing those things repeatedly and quickly. Now imagine that going on for over half an hour - maybe almost 45 minutes. And I did pass them to someone else for a little while, but I took 'em back up once they had to do other stuff.
Now imagine the poor guy being the lion tail . . . remember now, these guys are bent over under those capes in very unergonomic fashions . . . owie. So yeah, my shoulders are numb from the cymbals, and my ears are funked up from the loud noises (I only ever earplug one ear so I can still hear instructions or whatever from others). Not bad, though.
Y'know what possibly sucks worse than going out to mush up your shoulders, though? Going out for $20 all-you-can-eat sushi AFTER you've already eaten dinner. Yeah, I did that last night too. "Faramir" also ate first, so he was miffed too. The things we do for the sake of our friends, I tell ya . . .
I watched the first episode of "Infinite Ryvius" today. Seems like a pretty neat show. Funny bit to think about: in the show, there are these two brothers. The elder brother is dubbed by Brad Swaile; the younger by Kirby Morrow. Those two have worked together before on a bunch of shows, but most importantly for this point is "Dragonball Z". You see, in "Dragonball Z", Kirby Morrow was the voice of Goku . . . . . Brad Swaile voiced Gohan. Funny, ne?
Random SomeGuy Trivia: My old elementary school is a block away from my house and on the same street. With that sort of proximity, along with the fact that my older brother was already in that school and that my grandmother dropped me off on that first day, well . . . I can't say I had bad separation issues about going to school that first day. Maybe it was because of preschool when we lived in Edmonton . . . in any case, yeah, once lunch time came, my grandma was waiting for me, and then we went home. And that was that.
Ah, if only I still knew the teachers working in that school still . . . I think they've all taken up other jobs now . . .
