Ballet

so after getting back into the dancing thing by doing capoeira, i thought, "hey, why not ballet?" have the first class on monday. i'm going to be quite the dancing machine. right? wrong. what actually happened is i went to turner and saw the ballet cinderella. i think it's the first ballet i've seen, or at least that i remember. it was good. which i would have to say even if i didn't think so because my piano teacher's daughter, katy parr, was cinderella herself! i'm sure they were very proud of her getting to come and dance at sfa as a guest performer. and rightly so - she did an excellent job, though i'm no ballet critic by any stretch of the imagination.

today i washed laundry.... oh my gosh!....i just realized i left it in the drier. better run and go get it.

ok. got it. fortuneately no one had dumped it on the floor yet. basically i've got a bunch of folding to do now. oh well. i did get to sleep late today. i also managed to get my aural skills stuff done today. and took out the trash and cleaned my room. isn't this the stuff you love to read about?? went to wal mart and got some non-necessities. AND DEPOSITED MY DIFFERENCE CHECK!!! HURRAH! what to buy, what to buy. i've been contemplating getting a trench coat. now, don't get any ideas that i want to get one and start dressing in black and being all scary. it's because of the weather. when it's all rainy and cold, walking to class is miserable. besides, a trench coat would be a good investment that would last me for a long time. so let's see, have i convinced myself yet? they might be awfully expensive (i haven't looked into it yet) depending on what kind i was to get. it isn't a life and death situation, like, if i don't get one i might just die one morning on the way to the music building. or i might who knows. hmmm. have to see about this.

went to an art gallery and presentation this evening. it was pretty intersting. it was modern art, so some of the stuff that was "really special," i was like, "okaaay..." but some of it was pretty cool. one thing i thought was awsome was some little useless desk decoration that was made almost entirely out of watch hands. must have been hundreds, maybe thousands, of little hands all stuck together. one of the "um, okaaay" things was a cigarette neclace. yea. nothing but about 100 cigarettes that would kind of look like a puffy neck tie. is this like, the chain smoker's delight?? "'hey dude, can i have a light?' 'sure man, i've got plenty!'" after the gallery viewing they served some yummy desserts and tastey punch. so i was happy. and i saw josilyn (sp? i cringe at the though of how royally i may have just misspelled that) who is one of my best friend's sister. she used to baby sit me, which she felt like she needed to remind everyone of. hmmph. but i guess i don't really mind. she was one of us kids favorites. her friend was like, "does that make us old?" and i said "yes it does." wow. approaching mid twenties. that is so far away.

but now laundry and stuff are calling me. so i will conclude with a word of the day. or, in this case, three words, and their definition. Jordan Curve Theorem - a fundamental theorem of topology: every simple closed curve divides the plane into two regions for which it is the common boundary. alriiiight!!

The Jordan Curve Theorem is basically saying, you can be inside a circle... or outside it. :D

Oh, and I don't own an actual trench coat, but I do have a full length army raincoat, one that goes down to my ankles. Very nice for rainy days, I recommend it or a trench coat if you can find a good one.

hey! stop making my theorem seem so simple! ;-) thanks for the encouragement to buy a coat. i'm definitely considering it.

Do you know who made famous the cool trench coat trend of the '40s? (and I'm saying this as an outsider mom who is not the least bit responsible in how you spend your money) Clark Gable! Need I say more?
