So I finished my third book in a week today and thought I should list my thoughts on the two different series that I perused:
Break no Bones (Kathy Reichs): Very cool. One of the founding authors of the "CSI" style. Turns out to be a serial murderer mystery involving black-market organ stealing/donating. Interesting turn of plot, but does not compare with the CSI's that I see on TV. Nice change of pace for me though.
Legend of Drizzt Series (R.A. Salvatore): Have read other series of his. Homeland and Exile were character developments of Drizzt, a dark elf who became more popular than his main character in the earlier start to the Dark Elf Series (Crystal Shard, etc.). Very deep conflicts already in his moral psyche. I'm really looking forward to reading more in Sojourn.
Tomorrow's the "with orchestra" trial. Things are looking good. More after tomorrow!

I knew this would be hard to keep up!
Hey All,
Sorry its been so long! I'm in T-town right now and have today and tomorrow off. I thought I'd give an update as to Julie life:
1. I'm in Toronto! Weeee.... awesome city. Great orchestra. Everyone's been very friendly and they have put me up in the sweetest hotel. 2 blocks from the hall filled with Indian, Italian, French, Japanese, and regular old bar and grill foods. 3 coffee shops to choose from. I'm enjoying it a lot, and have a massage scheduled for this afternoon. This guy hit on me in the hotel restaurant for about an hour the first night I was here for dinner. The ring and talk about Tony didn't seem to phase him... tre wierd! Oh yeah, and I left some music on the plane in the seat pocket. Fell asleep and didn't wake up until the flight steward was standing over me and everyone was off the plane. Ooops. Tony's bringing my originals with him this weekend when he comes up for a concert.
2. New Apartment in Portage Park, Chicago (near Montrose and Milwaukee)! The girls have much fun rough-housing up and down the length of the apartment at 3am. They wake us up all the time and then have the gall to look pissed when we wake them up during their naps in the afternoon. Whenever something smells or there is some sort of cat-related catastrophe, they are MY cats, but whenever they are cute, they are Tony's. Don't ask me - I married him for the health insurance :)~
3. Getting more freelancing work with local orchestras and CSO. I was hoping that I would be able to live off of Performance and Teaching by now, but alas, a day job is still necessary!
Sarah has moved to Crete (this summer), and I miss seeing her and Dyan often. They were like my cool 2nd set of parents. The puppies are missed as well. Perhaps we should plan a date to go visit soon...
Hmmm.... Oh yeah! For those ladies who were in the car for a fateful trip to Toronto in Spring 2004 from Eastman, guess what's playing at the same theater again?!! Sweeney Todd has returned for a limited engagement, but the mom from My Big Fat Greek Wedding is not starring as Mrs. Lovett. Such a shame. She rocked it!
I miss all my Eastman Peeps still, and I apologize if I havn't called or emailed in a while. Life never slows down enough, but please bug me and I will write! Much love to you all and I'll update with news whenever I get it!
