Don't you just love having lessons that blow you away? I hit some new highs and one new low today. For the low, it was my teacher telling me that my playing on this one piece made him think of 'someone shoving a kid outside and telling them to go play in traffic' and 'that sounded like "Nearer my Street Gang to thee." God, I couldn't stop ( Read more... )

I've gotten two hours of sleep since Saturday night. Stupid all nighters. I would have slept sometime earlier today, but I had class from nine to noon, a Japanese quiz, observation assignment at the local middle school, theory, and college community winds in the afternoon. Sleep is calling, I just wanted to rant. Oh, and I met a really cute ( Read more... )

So it's been five years (and a couple days), and I can still remember most of what happened that day. I also now fully believe that there is no conspiracy surrounding that day. My faith had been shaken by the Loose Change video, but due to further research and articles, interviews and reports, I have concluded that those claiming foul are wrong ( Read more... )

Last two weeks have been kinda fast. Year two is looming and my sax chops are in need of strengthening before I return. But there are some who have noted that I progress scary-like when I actually practice for more than two days in a row. In any case, that lump of metal is returning to the forefront of my life ( Read more... )

So I got out of the house for the first time in a week, and it was for about twenty minutes but man did it feel good. Stupid ankle. At least that means I can go back to work this week. Everybody loves work, right?

Went out to see Superman Returns today, and the best way I can think of to describe it was already done by the author of one of my favorite comics, so I'll just crib from him

My name is Johannes Kelly Garrett. I'm six years old and when I grow up I want to be Superman.

That's pretty much all I took out of that theatre.

This is for my memory as much as keeping all you yahoos informed about my exploits, so here it is ( Read more... )

So. I'm in Missouri now. For about two weeks. Gonna be fun, see my family all that nonsense. What irks me is that I saw a bunch of people at home in the period of about a week, then got sick, then started working, and now I'm here. So in some ways I feel like I haven't really seen people at all. But that could just be me. Who knows. Ah well ( Read more... )
