You don't view this as a problem?

And yes, the state of NY absolutely should have posted a warning on their website and at the campground. It's totally insane that they did not. I went camping in Oregon at the beginning of May and was very impressed with American parks. I guess those New Yorkers need some clues from the west coast. They should also shoot those bears. As sad as it is, a bear that is so used to humans that they will break into cars is eventually going to maul someone. Even if they move the bear, the animal won't forget that humans always have food around. And hey, about our band, Tessar should be our vocalist.

I'm wondering if I should attempt a little light vocalizing. My chords are still pretty swollen from the sound of my speaking voice, but I started taking the anti-inflammation medicine yesterday, so it's better.... and a little vocalizing will (supposedly) help my cords recover more quickly too. Don't wanna overdo it though.
But first, a nap. Who's with me? *curls up in the corner* |

Don't advise vocalisation; it seems like a bad idea at this point.

I did some very, very light humming, lip bubbles, and "ah, oh, eh, oo" scales but believe me I never tried to make it into a full voice.
My falsetto's completely gone at this point, I can't get higher than a D4, my low range is uncomfortable, and when I did the actually vocalizing part after the humming/bubbles my voice was really unsteady and I don't think I could've used my full voice if I'd tried. Couldn't do more than maybe five minutes... might've been less. My jaw got tight and my throat felt a little rough, so I just stopped. I really don't have the energy to manipulate my 'support' muscles at all, so I left that off and just worked in really short phrases so that I didn't have to hold up any air pressure or anything. I promise I know what I'm doing . These days I do know when to stop... the only thing that concerns me is this tissue thinner... depending on how long it stays in my system, I wonder if that will be affecting my vocal cords for the next few weeks? I only have a five day supply, but I don't know how long it affects you after you stop taking it. I'm not really expecting to get back into the swing of vocalizing for more than 15 minutes for at least another three weeks, so I wont be disappointed if I don't, but ugh... going from literally being able to sing for upwards of three hours without a pain to overnight not being able to do more than five minutes at a time bites hardcore. I also have an audition coming up on August 25th, so I may have to cancel that since it's for a school opera and I don't want to sing for the teachers if my voice isn't back properly yet. Boo. |

I spent the afternoon with nice people.
This has a good effect on my optimism.

Yay! Optimism is good ^_^
I got a sunflower today, but I gave it to my grandmother. I think she liked it. I liked it too.

So my brother is now engaged to the most horrible woman I've ever met.
I guess that means I don't have a brother anymore, because that woman is NOT going to be a part of my life.

Well ...
... That sucks. Not much to say or do to help you out on that one.

Yeah, I know. God, she's the biggest...er...I probably shouldn't say it on a family board. I wonder if there's any way I can get out of going to their wedding...
