Double Header

I actually went out and did something tonight. Chris and I saw two movies, Miracle and Hidalgo, at the mall ... pretty much back to back. Miracle got out at about 9:50 and Hidalgo started at 10:10. Hah ... we didn't even get out of the theatre until 12:30. Both were actually good movies. So if you haven't seen either, I recommend that you do go see them both.

On to other new news. Ms. Williams got fired *hums a happy ditty* and the guy from Annapolis Middle (Don Lilley?) took over. Much to my surprise, I pulled into the parking lot this morning and some guy comes up and tells me I can't sit in my car in the morning ... what the fuck? *mumbles* As much as I don't like it I'll cooperate for the first couple days. Lacey subdued my protests pretty well by telling me that she already talked to him about it and it's just a precaution to ease the transition. It better fucking well be *ONLY* a transition procedure ... otherwise I'm going to have MAJOR issues with this principal as well. Apparently they're also shooting down teachers down like ducks in hunting season. I doubt that so called "investigation" turned up any solid proof, but obviously I don't know. I just have an extreme lack of faith in our school system's integrity, ESPECIALLY with that jackass Smith running the show. hmmm ... enough of my opinionated bantering.

Don't really have much else to mention, so I'll end this post with a song that I've been listening to all day:

Yes, I was doing alright
Nothing but rainbows in my skys
I was doing alright
'Til you came by
Had no cause to complain
Life was as sweet as apple pie
Never notice the rain
'Til you came by

But now, whenever you away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all day
I just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big plunder
But when you hold me tight
Tingling all through I feel somehow
I was doing alright
But I'm doing better than ever now

And now, whenever you away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all day
I just sit and wonder
If love isn't one puppy plunder
But when you hold me tight
Tingling all through I feel somehow
I was doing alright
But I'm doing a little better than ever now

Great Day

Today was a great day ... especially when you compare it to the rest of the days I've had lately. hmmm .... well for one I got out early and I had a lovely afternoon. I'll just leave it at that. Anymore details and someone is bound to have a coronary. :-D

I played pretty well in my audition as well. Had a few flub-ups but did pretty well overall. I nailed the high note I have trouble with! whoooo! I was on a roll in that one section. hehehehehe ...

hmmm well that's about all I have to update. Until next posting. *salutes*

Busy Busy Bee

Been extremely busy this weekend. I put over 200 miles on my car from only today and Saturday. oi .... drove to Baltimore twice. Both times going halfway around 695. I ended up taking I-83 into the city today to avoid the St. Patrick's Day Parade. It worked quite well actually ... just long. Yesterday I had a practice with my accompanist and sinfonia. Today I drove to Johns Hopkins for a quintet concert. blargh ... that didn't go nearly as well as I liked. I was hoping somone wouldn't ask "how long do you normally practice" in the question and answer session... it's normally the first thing asked but today it was toward the rear of the asking.

Well the play is over. It went quite well, especially Najeda's brilliant little improv. She skipped over one of her lines and went to the next line instead. Ended up hitting one of the suitors on the head with a soup serving spoon. lol ... it was actually very good. My chops are busted up from so much playing. *does the trumpet lip thing*

Apparently there is some renewed interest in Han and I? oi ... let me just say that no we are not going out at the moment; nor have we ever gone out in the past. That's all the info you get. Anything else is her and my business. If you have something to say about it ... talk to me or her for clarification; or if you feel saying something particularly nasty. Otherwise, kindly keep your mouth shut.

Moving on to the quizzes...

You're a magical unicorn! As all unicorns go, magic
unicorns are amazing with enchantments and can
perform spells and all kind of crafts. Magic
Unicorns have horns that if drank from can cure
blindness, and give immortality. All magical
unicorns are very kind and heart-warming, but
can get tempermental if a spell goes wrong.
Magical Unicorns live in forests where they can
practise all there magic in secret. But, if a
human befreinds a magical unicorn, they have a
friend for life.
