First cruise over!

1 down, 11 to go!

The first cruise was all in all AWESOME. I played with various guest entertainers such as: violinist Chris Watkins, pianist virtuoso Tian Jiang, singers Claude Eric Brunelle and Izzy (insert familly name here) :-D and of course the Galaxy singers and dancers, which are a talented bunch.
I played drums in one of their shows but that kind of meant that I couldn't sit and watch them work. I had to play to the best of my ability, and the last thing you need when you're concentrating is a bunch of extremely hot girls dancing around in front of you wearing provocative clothing... damn... Soooo... I went to see one of their shows and I was blown away. They do 4 or 5 shows per cruise and if the other shows are anything like the one I saw then OMG*, people, OMG!!! I thought that their job on board the ship was much easier than mine and that they really didn't do anything that required a lot of effort... boy was I wrong.

We will stop in Istanbul on this coming cruise. I'm told that there is a whole street with nothing but music shops. I think I might keep an eye out for a cheap and effective acoustic guitar. I've been craving to play guitar for a week now.

I'm getting on great with Ben, my roommate. We kind of have the same humour and (I cannot stress how important this factor is) we both like to drink beer. A few days ago he told me that his dad played trombone in the Buddy Rich big band. That's just awesome. And Ben is not a bad trumpet player either.... far from it, actually.

That's all for now, you scoundrels,

Ellert

* = OMG means Oh My God... for those of you who aren't hip enough to get it. haha.

Ekki láta mig heyra þig kvarta yfir fáklæddum kvenmönnum aftur. Aldrei.

Farðu vel með þig.

Okay, think I figured this out...here's my comment again (if I can remember it):

WELL WELL WELL,
Mr. Serpentine himself?!?! Glad you're having a great time on the cruise and everything, but for the love of little gentle baby jesus, have sex with some hotties on that boat, get fired for it, and then come back home to me and play drums with the Beatles band!!!! Doesn't that sound AWESOME!?!? YEAH! Alright....all the best....I love you like a little sexy sister (in an incestuous family)...

Lovely,
Roland

Fuck yeah I'm getting your comments, baby!! There are enough hot female crewmembers to "interact with" on board anyway. One of the dancers got undressed in front of me yesterday. She just stood there for 30 seconds topless... then she put on her next custom and went on stage. NICE!!!!
