Do one thing every day that scares you. -Eleanor Roosevelt

Ohmighod. Okay.

No, not okay.

Can someone please explain to me why one song on live national television freaks me out worse than a night's gig in a full-packed club? One song. One. And it's a song I could do in my sleep.

Okay. Ignore the cameras. Ignore the fact that Breaker Street and I will be playing to a Times Square crowd on Good Morning frickin' America and getting beamed into the nation's homes. It's just one song to a larger-than-average audience. In Times Square. This Friday. ON TV.

Ohmighod.

Okay, breathe, Sascha. Remember to breathe. And again. Good.

Fuck, I've been trained for this. Juilliard trained, I can work through this. I refuse to succumb to goddamn stage fright, for God's sake. No, this doesn't even rank as stage fright. It's ... jitters. Just pre-performance jitters.

Besides, all those cameras? Will be trained on Rory, so they don't even count. And Junie and Nil, some. The rest of us will be lucky to get three seconds on screen, so why stress? Right? Right.

Ohmighod. I think I need a paper bag.

No, scratch that, I need to confab with Junie on what we're going to wear.

Don't forget the the live audience and the um...likelihood of ending up on Youtube and then there's torrenting because you know people actually do download those shows for whoever the interview of the morning is.

I'm helpful.

I'm also working Friday so I'll set my DVR.

Hey, cuddle buddy...stop freaking out. You'll be fine. Better get used it.

You are so getting tickled the next time I see you.

I'm doing better now, honey. That'll teach me to post while stressed out and buzzed on caffeine. Most of the time I'm so OMGSQUEE! about this spot I'm probably driving everyone up the wall.

And you're right, babe, I can handle it. Hell, we videotaped plenty of exercises at Juilliard. Just make it about the piano, the band and the audience, right? I'll pretend it's an outdoor festival or something.

Wish you could be there, but I totes understand. I know my schedule has been insane to mesh with, but you think we could get together sometime this week? Been missing our Project Runway dissections.

Junie just looked over my shoulder and told me to say hi for her. So *MWAH*. Hi.

DVR is full of backlog. Which bitches are we supposed to hate this season?

Hi to her too.

I've got my own backlog, but I've heard that this season's designers are mostly-- you may want to sit down for this --nice. Like actually more interested in putting together hot fashion than cutting each other.

What is the world coming to? ;)

The End of Days if you want to believe the crazy hobo on the A train.

I'm sure you will all do just fine, Sascha.

[keyboard-sass.livejournal.com]

Hey, Pippa! Yeah, it'll be good. I know it will. The reality of the situation just hits every so often, you know?

How about you, hon? How's Venice treating you?

Venice is keeping me busy or rather, I'm finding ways to keep busy in Venice.
