Raw Salmon

Yesterday was great. Well OK, not great, but way better than the last few days. First off I just did the usual, gym, lunch, shower and then I decided I should try to go and wire my money home. I went to Western Union first. They are right across the street in the three different banks so I just chose one, filled out all the paperwork and then they told me their computers were down or something so I had to go to another bank. After that I went to two more banks and they told me the exact same thing....great! Then I found another place that does transfers called MoneyGram, so I filled out all the papers there, got everything done and went back to my hotel just in time for rehearsal. But once I got back I looked closely at my receipt and noticed it said sending to: Salt Lake City, California. Ugh!! So I had to run down to rehearsal and tell my band leader that I was going to be a little late then run back across the street and get it all fixed. But in the end it was fine and I'm glad I know how to do it now and I like how easy it is.
Then rehearsal was another story. I did my new song the day before so yesterday it was the girls' turns. I've always heard stories about people who are big diva's and things but I've never really experienced it until now. Trina(the girl from Trinidad) couldn't complain enough. "This part of the song was wrong, this part's too loud, I don't have any place to breathe, there's too many backup vocals in the track," everything she could say she said. It was kind of fun to watch but I would hate to be in the line of fire.
Once rehearsal was over I went down to the restaurant by the pool for dinner(they still haven't closed it yet). I noticed on the menu something that I hadn't seen before, a salmon caesar salad. One of my favorite things ever. So I ordered that for the first course and then some chicken thing with salsa...yeah I know, I eat a lot! Well when it came out it was a plain caesar salad in the bowl and then I got a second bowl with the salmon in it. No where on the menu did it say it was raw salmon. Ahhh!! It looked like gross pink mush. I guess it's salmon sashimi so I just said what the heck, try everything once and went for it. The taste wasn't bad at all, quite good, but the texture almost made me puke. So squishy and wet. Yuck. So basically I choked down as much as I could and now I know never to order that again.
After dinner I just relaxed for a bit before the shows. The club was packed. Ladies Night is always packed. Everything went great, even the new songs. Then I came right up to my room and got ready for bed. What a good day.
