A measure of slightly panicked discontent has settled over me. I haven't worked enough on the transcription/arrangement, and I may not finish it in time to go to Smith, which would really suck because I really want to sing it. I didn't clip Prince's feet while mama was gone because he started trembling when I call him, and that's a sign of either fear or raging insubordination, neither of which I want to deal with while trying to hold his feet still. So mama's ticked (she doesn't think that's a good enough reason), and we're leaving tomorrow morning, and, while I'm packed, I'm not sure what to bring to do since I can't bring pliers on the plane so chainmail's out, I only have one book I feel like reading, and my sketchbooks all seem lazy.

Gra. And I'm stuck on the first chorus of the Piazzolla; I can't figure out what the chord is. I think it's some kind of crazy secondary dominant, but when I put down the individual parts I hear, they don't sound like the right chord. RRRR.

Okay. I finished the arrangement. It has words (syllables), dynamics, tempos, rallentandos, articulations and everything! But now I have to find a driver for the one functional printer in the house. It doesn't like my computer since it got back. I'm installing the software now; we'll see after restart if it works. (ETA: nope. But I PDFed it and sent it to mama, and her computer printed it. Now I just have to make six copies.)

I'm a little less disgruntled now, but still unhappy that Nia just got back and now I have to leave and things are maybe not working out so well for the LA trip. Well, maybe the thing will print. That'll be a load off.
