Rawkstar day job album sessions.

[Andriana Duskrose]

So here is my cubicle at the Rawkstar office.

[Andriana Duskrose]

Me filling out TPS reports.

[Andriana Duskrose]

Yet more paper work.

[Andriana Duskrose]

Break time! Six days worth of consumables.

[Eomer]

Have you been rolling up your rims?

[Vinilaa]

STFU!

I wish I had rockstar hours. :( :cry: :note2:

[depen]

What in the hell did you do to that china?

[Andriana Duskrose]

Have been rolling my rims?
Yes all of those had their rims rolled, all of them LOSERS! It's a scam I tell you!

What did I do to my china?
I played it, and it cracked, and I kept playing it, and it kept cracking, and cracking, and cracking, until it became the lovely china you see today.

Out of all the china's I had access too, it was still the best sounding one.

You want rockstar hours?
Monday, 12 hours
Tuesday, 14 hours.
Wednesday, 10 hours.
Thursday, 12 hours.
Friday, 16 hours.
Monday, 9 hours (cause I finished all the songs!).

Lets just say recordning drum parts for an album is something I am glad I don't have to do every week.

The job does have some perks though, being felt up by drunk teenage girls isn't one of them though.

[Eomer]

Welcome to my world!

[Corvette]

did you get that memo about the new TPS reports?

[Andriana Duskrose]

Welcome to my world!

Wait! I made a typo there! It should read:

"The job does have some perks though, being felt up by drunk teenage girls is one of them."

There we go, corrected.

[Varran]

yeah, it's always weird to hear people say they'd love to have rockstar hours. Another favorite is: " Oh, I'd love to travel like you do."

No you wouldn't... really... trust me.

Not that any of it is a complaint. Life could be a lot worse than this, and the good DEFINITELY outweighs the bad.

[Kirynos]

Sometimes the Blonde outweighs the Rest though... so gotta take it in stride.

I'm glad Angriana isn't wearing rose-colored glasses. Give it to us straight!

:confuse:

[Andriana Duskrose]

Sometimes the Blonde outweighs the Rest though... so gotta take it in stride.

For the most part, I think it's been pretty even. If my memory of the last couple gigs is accurate, the tally would be 5 dark haired girls, and 4 blondes.

Red heads (well natural red heads, sometimes you find out later that her upstairs and downstairs hair colour doesn't match) seem to be quite scarce.

[Eomer]

Wait! I made a typo there! It should read:

"The job does have some perks though, being felt up by drunk teenage girls is one of them."

There we go, corrected.

I assumed that's what you meant, and again, welcome to my world.

Although I suppose it's more a byproduct of being so dead sexy, rather than a job perk.

[Aindayen]

Andri for the love, get out and get some sunlight!

Pretty cool stuff though. At least your job is what you love to do.

They only have light for 3 months of the year, in those northern territories of America Jr.

That it is. :thumbup:

[Abyori]

Bah! Does that mean pestering me is just a fun filled hobby?

[Andriana Duskrose]

Bah! Does that mean pestering me is just a fun filled hobby?

Oh no, I have it on good authority that I do that for the sole purpose of proving how masculine I am, and how large my E-Peen is.

[Vinilaa]

Well everyone has to have something they're proud of... :o

For my dog, Gabby, it's her new shoes! (She had to get shoes because she hurt her paw and we needed to keep the bandage clean).

Really that should go into the Pretty Girl Thread, don't you think?

If you weren't so mean to your dogs, they wouldn't try to run away from you, and you wouldn't have to go all Misery on their feet!

OMGZ! VINILAA IS TEH MEANIEZ!

P.S. And burns coffee! TEE HEE! *Runs away giggling girlishly*

[Aindayen]

Vini is a dog beater? Cute puppy though. You seriously need to feed that dog :cake:

Ain

[Vinilaa]

WTF?????? :wtf:

See how these rumors get started Andriana?!?! :confused: :eek:

I do not beat MY dogs. :|

My dogs are rescues from the local GSD Rescue and Adoptions org. in my area. They send me dogs with emotional problems and I help them. I certainly do not abuse animals!

But since you want to know the story here it is: Scroll down if you have ADD.

On Saturday morning, nursing a bit of a hangover, I was getting ready to go to breakfast with Aul at Whole Foods when he says, "let's just pack up and go to the beach." I balked because I had other things I wanted to do but he was dead-set on going, it's his vacation so I relented. We packed up the car, went to breakfast at Whole Foods, and did some shopping for odds and ends for beach going meals.

We're happy to be making pretty good time (breakfast for me is rarely a formal affair) but when we get out to the parking lot, it's pouring down rain. So I ask if he's sure he wants to go, he is. So we drive through the storm and get to the beach where it's overcast but not raining. So we had some fun playing in the surf and watching entirely too much TV (they have cable at the beach and we don't at home).

Overall we had a pretty mellow, good time. Monday we took the dogs out on the boat (a skinoe: a cross between a skiff and a canoe). Aul has been talking about doing this basically since I returned from Africa. He said he took them out when I was gone and it was so much fun and they love it so much... etc. So we spend two hours getting the boat ready and loading the dogs into it. Then I spend the next 30 minutes sitting in the boat, holding the dog leashes as tightly as I can while trying to keep them from tipping the boat over. They don't understand the process and so try to stand up or shift their weight or drink out of the sound (yuck), so I have to sit there the entire time saying, "nono don't drink that, sit, Ursi SIT! Don't tip over the boat Gabby, Gabby no, Gabby sit!" I look at Aul and ask, "um what part of this is fun?" So we finally get to this little island out on the sound and let the dogs run around. They take off almost immediately and run and play and I found out that Gabby absolutely loves swimming. She almost swam all the way out to the inter coastal waterway... which is kind of dangerous considering there are motorboats and Jet skies out there; not to mention the oyster beds which surround the island on that side are very sharp. We call Gabby back and as she comes running over I notice that her paw is bleeding profusely. Aul is off running around with Ursula and so I have to yell to get his attention, "Aul, Gabby's foot is cut up pretty bad, she's bleeding a lot here." Of course he's a guy, "She's fine. She'll just walk it off. Let her go." I look down at her foot, and at the blood which is now pouring out of it, with a degree of uncertainty. Sure she seems fine and she wants me to let her go play with Ursi but there's a lot of blood. "No. We need to pack the dogs back into the boat and go to the vet. She's really bleeding a lot here, I don't think this is just a scrape." We call the vet to let them know we're on the way, wrap her paw in a handkerchief and put one of Aul's socks over it. We get the cooler and the dogs back into the boat and head back to the house. On the way back Gabby suddenly jumps out of the boat and into the sound. I'm holding onto her leash but I can't get enough leverage to get her back into the boat and I don't want to strangle her by pulling on her leash. I have no idea why she jumped, it's not like her to do something like that and there was zero warning. She just jumped. Luckily, Ursi was tired out and lying down in the boat so I could let go of her leash while Aul and I pulled Gabby back into the boat. We got her back into the boat and made it back to the house and to the vet without further incident but it was a crazy morning.

Gabby returned from the vet with two staples in her pad and her paw taped up in a bandage and she's taking antibiotics for the next 7 days. The vet is pretty sure that Gabby must have cut her pad on an oyster bed.

Sorry I guess I should have just given you the Reader's Digest condensed version. :|

Stop spreading rumors you man-Hussy.

[Andriana Duskrose]

Stop spreading rumors you man-Hussy.

I don't think it's in my gentic code to stop. Sorry. I still luv you though! *huggles* :love:

[Andriana Duskrose]

Since Eomer was complaining about my hat in another thread, on a different board (and I need someplace to host the picture...)

HERE YOUR GO ASS! MANDRI GOES HAT-LESS!

[Vinilaa]

:o ;)

[Angelie]

Going to shave (bic) my head soon for the Long Beach marathon training :D

[Vinilaa]

More people should be commenting on how cute Gabby is... :o

Sheesh Andri, stop derailing MY cute doggie thread. :eek: :angel: :D

[Skaara]

Gabby is cute.

[Andriana Duskrose]

Well you should introduce me to this Gabby friend of yours (how old is she?), she sounds like fun, and I am sure she would appreciate the bone I could give her.

[Vinilaa]

Well you should introduce me to this Gabby friend of yours (how old is she?), she sounds like fun, and I am sure she would appreciate the bone I could give her.

Gabby is 2 and a half years old and is pictured above. Yes, she enjoys bones. She especially likes cow knuckle bones (I'm not sure that it's actually a knuckle, but that's what they call it at the butcher shop).

In other news, Ursula's new nickname is <em>The Rabbit Slayer</em> since she killed a bunny Sunday night and dragged it around the backyard until Aul took it away from her. :eek:

Ursula prefers classical music to rock.

[Andriana Duskrose]

Gabby is 2 and a half years old... Ursula prefers classical music to rock.

Whoa! Two and half years old?! Too young for me, but I have this friend, Elidroth, who might be interested...

I prefer classical music to rock as well. Ursula and I would probably get along quite fabulously!

[Vinilaa]

It's nice of you to overlook her bunny killing tendencies... :o

[Andriana Duskrose]

I'd be safe enough, I have sharp fangs, and a mean streak a mile wide. Plus I am not just any ordinary bunny, but the Queen Bunny.

[Syana]

This thread has gotten totally weird.

[Abyori]

er.

[Andriana Duskrose]

This thread has gotten totally weird.

THE BUNNIES ARE ANGRY!!

[Andriana Duskrose]

Okay fine, lets get it back on track again...

Here we have Mandriana working late offsite, away from the office.

[Vinilaa]

Andri's a chick magnate! :chick: :eek: :o

[Syana]

Dude, is that the same shirt you're wearing on your avatar?!

[Mystrae]

Dude, is that the same shirt you're wearing on your avatar?!

same hat too!

[Andriana Duskrose]

Different shirt, same hat (aka, the sweat and high sound frequency absorber).

[Eomer]

Sidetrack's finally open by the way! I was there Saturday afternoon, and observed why it took so damn long: it appears their doormen are doing a lot of the work. I must say it was amusing to see two of them using an angle grinder to cut bolts out of a pile in front of the place, both of the dumbasses wearing nothing but shorts and t-shirts (and all frayed and flammable to boot). Safety first!

The food was fucking terrible.

I am hearing from the bands that it's also not as good as the old place stage and soundwise. I suppose I'll find out what it's like there sooner or later.

[Eomer]

It's not nearly as big as before, maybe 2/3 or 1/2 the size. But IMO the layout's actually a bit better in terms of being able to see the stage, bar being located conveniently and so on. Zero ambience as compared to the old place, that's for sure. It's a damn shame, but progress must not be stopped! The old one was wiped out last week I think, and a sign for the new condos proudly stands in it's wake.

Lemme know when you're playing there next, me and you can bring groupies back to my place across the street and take advantage of them on the patio for the viewing pleasure of half of downtown.

For sure! And then we can start up an Edmonton based porn website! Edmonton groupies dot com! We'll just tell the girls that you're the rythym guitar player.

[Eomer]

I'd prefer either band manager or album producer.

I put on my pants the same way as you, one leg at a time. Then I make gold records.

Sure thing! Now, as the band manager, where's our fucking gigs and tour jackass? You don't get paid until we do, so chop chop!

[Andriana Duskrose]

OMGZ! MORE PICS!

Now this time, it is indeed the same shirt as my avatar! It's okay though, since I haven't worn it in over a month.

Waitresses! (Too bad they're blonde :eek: ), and yes, I get sweaty after an hour of drumming under stage lights.

[Andriana Duskrose]

Hmmmmm, what to do... what to do...

What would YOU do?!

[Andriana Duskrose]

Oh Eoooooooomer! We're playing the Sidetrack Cafe, Sunday, July 16th. SEE YOU THERE SEXY!

[sendain]
