What a yucky day here in Randolph. It's grey and rainy with a soft breeze. Tomorrow is supposed to be the same, only colder. I had a shocking experience today involving my Journalism teacher. First off, this guy is probably one of the oldest teachers in the school, and he is unfortunately viewed as the meanest also. Well, he wanted to know ( Read more... )

I haven't updated in a few days. Not much worth recounting. Today was, well, an interesting day. I was all exuberant over today's after-school Shakespeare Club meeting, which I scheduled with Ms. Porrazzo. So the end of the day came, and we were sitting there, waiting for all the hopeful members to arrive. After about 15 minutes, only 1 person ( Read more... )

I woke up early this morning and drove and hour and a half to Muhlenberg College. I barely made the time of my scheduled interview. The interview itself went extremely well. I had the Dean of Admissions, who was also an English major. We talked about topics ranging from famous Muhlenberg alumni to music. He is really a nice, down-to-earth guy ( Read more... )

I wish I were more creative. All songwriting ability I once had is gone. I can remember before I learned music theory - I would churn out a song every week or so, and they would be good, original melodies. Now I just force any kind of songwriting creativity, and it usually ends up sounding stiff and, well, forced. In addition, everything sounds ( Read more... )

Wow! It is extremely windy here in Randolph. All of our lawn furniture is either turned over or on the other side of the yard. Driving to school this morning was fun. The leaves were blowing in circles around my car...I felt like Harry Potter ( Read more... )

Once upon a time, king Cymbeline had a dream that a magical fairy named Theresa visited him. She told him that an evil madman, Kevin the Larry, had abducted his sons, Guido and Asparagus. Cymbeline woke up and told the Queen that he was going to find his sons, and that she should have a chicken-pot-pie made out of Demetrius and his brother for ( Read more... )

My schedule has finally loosened up to the point where I can start calling more Shakespeare Club meetings. I contacted the adviser and said that next week will be good for her. I've decided that we will watch "Scotland PA," but due to excessive use of the F word I might have to reconsider films. If I can somehow get all members under 18 to bring ( Read more... )

School wasn't nearly as bad as I had presumed it would be. I finally registered to vote today during lunch. I've wanted to for a while, but I just never got around to doing it. Everything went well except for P.E. My teacher is a complete moron. She took 6 points off my grade because I didn't have gym cloths. She claimed I "wasn't prepared ( Read more... )

Today I bought a Digitech Guitar Synth Pedal. I'm really impressed by the quality of it. Usually synth effects are cheesy unless a large sum of money is invested. Hopefully it will add a new dimension to our expanding sound. I really need Amnion. I can't wait to use my synth with the whole band, as I think it will nicely complement the other ( Read more... )

Just got back from Philly. (Third time in 2 weeks!) I find myself developing an increasing love for that city. I always considered myself an NYC person, but Philly is less confusing and less hectic. I suppose it lives up to its nickname: The City of Brotherly Love. Of course, the common destination of each trip was UPENN. I really hope I get ( Read more... )
