I'm having a hard time finding women in the arts / women in higher education scholarships for grad school. I've signed up for fastweb but most of those don't seem to apply. Any suggestions on where else to look?
Thanks so much:)

I forgot how much I love house music, both for dancing and listening. I'm a big mark farina fan and this House of OM compilation is lovely:)

So I practiced finally. Set up my drums and practiced. Not revolutionary and I should have been doing it all this month but whatever.
I did some stick control, first page at different tempos.
I did some afro cuban and the mozambique.
I did paradiddle-diddle stuff while keeping all four limbs going.
I played all the funk and hip hop beats I transcribed, paying attention to the bass drum.
I worked on C's chart for her, played through it so I can record the drum part tomorrow. (yay garageband)

So I just have to keep going and keep going into practice with a plan. I will be bad-ass in six months if I keep this up.

**Note for later: transcribe drums off new mmw tune for fusion band, work on. Listen to bob mintzer tune for monday also.

Went to see Patti Smith documentary last night 'dream of life'. It was really good and there was a q and a with the director. Sarah and I went to see it, I think she is a bigger patti fan than I am:) Then we went to amsterdams for really well made martinis (I was good and stopped at two) and then went to dennys for food.
Yay for fun nights:)

I spoke to my friend who is a french teacher and she is going to give my sub number to the people in her school so I can get some jobs. I need to work and have not been getting calls even though I added more classifications. Hopefully I get called this week. I am teaching lessons on monday and then have a gig nov. 1st but that is it for money at the moment (that and the money I am getting from my church gig).

"The word feminism will be around as long as it is necessary for women to put a name on the sense of assertiveness, confidence and equality that, unnamed, has always been granted men."-from the new york times art review of the feminist art show at the brooklyn art museum

I'm learning the world isn't set up for us to follow our hearts. It's set up to keep us working shit jobs and broke and in debt.

Does anyone know of a small record label that would take an electronic/acoustic project? (aka beat construction:p)

I want to just put something together and submit it.

Myspace is being ridiculous as in their loading songs thing is down. Is there another place I could post that beat construction remix? Could I post on it on my lj?

If anyone knows and could offer instructions that would be awesome. Thanks so much:)

Most of you know that from January to March, Beat Construction manifested its deep beats in the form of a 6 person band. Taking a break from that format, a remix of their trip hop tune "You are Mine" will be uploaded asap.

The photo and profile has been updated as well.
