I don't usually take this kind of an interest in foreign politics, but anyway;

How much longer do we have to put up with Olmert?

minesweeper is a lot more interesting if you don't use flags

Climbing anything above like a 5.9 without shoes and chalk is incredibly challenging. Just thought you should know. I was trying a 5.10, but I realized that I'm not two inches taller, and I didn't have climbing shoes, so that didn't work. I think it was on a 5.9+ that I got somewhere and was like "Wait a minute; I can't dyno." Although I did some ( Read more... )

I'm liking the Grand Concerts. Sam Ash had some Grand Concert Select, so I bought a box. I wouldn't know how they compare to the Grand Concert Evolutions or the Rico Reserves, but I they're definitely better than the Mitchell Lurie. I used to be able to play on vandorens, ricos, and rico royals, but after this box I don't think so, except maybe ( Read more... )

Seeing Hyperstatic Union, David Crowder Band, and Third Day in concert: Nothing.
Indoor Drumline: Nothing.
Practicing my clarinet: Get done and my ears are ringing for five minutes.

I am now annoyed at myself for not getting my other clarinet fixed. And by 'my other clarinet', I mean the 65 dollar wooden one. It'd be a nice clarinet if it had like... y'know, new pads and all the screws and decent corks and stuff. But it doesen't. And now I'm really wishing I had it because there's one part of the weber concertino where it goes ( Read more... )

Last night was the end of season band thing. Mostly fun ( Read more... )

Today, I practiced more than four hours. Just a bit insane. I remember when I thought 30 minutes was a lot ( Read more... )

So what if most people consider it haloween. It's reformation day.

I almost completely missed it. I'm sure I could have come up with a good way to celebrate. Besides, of course, the reformation polka, which I'm not sure what exactly I would have done with it, and I would have had to learn. Good day to dress up though, so maybe I would have been ( Read more... )
