I'm nervous. My first video piece is being screened publicly tonight. It doesn't suck, but it's not great, either. But it is my first, so it doesn't have to be a masterpiece, right?

After the screening, I have the first rehearsal for a new piece of electronic music of mine, for multi-instrumentalist and computer. It's for this friend who plays saxophones, clarinet, and flute, and for a program I wrote in MAX/MSP on computer. The title is windwoodwindvoltwind, and although I'm excited to hear it in action, I'm too exhausted to be able to deal if it doesn't sound good... which pieces never do in first rehearsal.

I really wish I could just have a week off, where I wouldn't have to go into work, and I wouldn't have to make art or have anyone see or hear anything by or about me. Can someone please arrange that for me?
