Just finished the MUS512 exam. I love how I bubbled in "Jethro Tull" for every band that was influenced by something. Jethro Tull was the band influenced by classical music ("Bourree"). Jethro Tull was influenced by crazy jazz artists (Rahsaan Roland Kirk). Jethro Tull was influenced by folk rock! You see how I can claim that Jethro Tull was the ( Read more... )

So I don't have class today, and I'm flipping through the channels, and I stop on VH1 b/c it looks like they're doing some old heavy metal crap. Lo and behold, it's the new BSB music video. Oh, good grief. Backstreet Boys... pretending to be metal dudes in '85... with headbands... and mullets... and Nick Carter lookin' like a fat Axl Rose in parts ( Read more... )

Classes: Music/piano II, Business Finance, Rock since the mid-60's, Contemporary Culture (where our absurdly cool/insane professor makes us read a book a week while he rants and digresses in his grating voice for 75 mins, but it's all gravy b/c he's gonna MAKE us watch Trainspotting... huzzah!), and Entrepreneurship I. Oh my goodness ( Read more... )

On Monday, N-na and I went to Michael's and stocked up: tshirts (2/$5), sponge brushes (12/$1), fabric paint, and stencils. Our shirts are complete!

green shirt: "Mike McColgan is my homeboy" on the side, stars on the sleeve.
white shirt: "I <3 Millbrae." on back ( Read more... )

The end of spring break. Class tomorrow. All I want to do is get rid of the remaining phlegm in my throat and watch tennis.

Gatorade/Powerade really does help relieve headaches. Insanity.

[edit] Darn. Just checked my grade for DS412, and it's now 127.5/130. That's 98.1%. Goin' down, down, down...

Shaking. Dizzy with regret. 5 cups of coffee, kind of like ( Read more... )

Remember that weird swollen lip thing? The doctor took a viral culture, and today, I received this letter in the mail:
Kristina,
Your test is normal.
No herpes simplex isolated.

Um... YAAAAY...? Seriously, how is one supposed to react to that? ;)

Opera In the Park was so awesome! If I'd continued to pursue singing, I'd like to be as good as Ruth Ann Swenson. She's such a good soprano. The selections were from "Don Giovanni", "Madame Butterfly", "La Boheme", "Faust", "La Traviata", and a few other operas. It was great - aside from the freezing cold, foggy weather until 1, and the burning hot ( Read more... )
