Poptarts
vending machines are just the wonderfullest things. right now i'm eating strawberry frosted poptarts and fresh coffee. yummo.
last night someone gave me an unexpected valentine gift. i have no idea who it was. but i found it in the hall when i went downstairs last night. it was a delightful little piece of banana strategically placed in the middle of the floor. let me tell you, when my heel landed in the middle of it my foot shot straight forward and up in the air. my other leg went straight back. in the process of doing the splits with sandals on, i twisted one toe nail back till it bled. and no, i was not alone while performing these antics. there was someone walking three feet behind me on his way to do laundry. i was quite pained and sheepish. happy valentines day to you too (whoever left that present)!!!
had a good day of practice today. the concerto is coming along much stronger now. i rehearsed with the orchestra again, and things went much better, much smoother than last time. on their part as well as mine.
saw a long time family friend who's family i hardly seem to see anymore. she was at the music building for some of her kids to have music lessons. she paid me the fine compliment of saying i look like a werewolf. is it true? do i? i'm sure i must have desturbed a lot of people by now if i actually look that fearsome, which i doubt. but um...we had a nice chat.
had an awesome ping pong day. only played two games but they were totally the best. one guy was beating everyone else. when it was my turn, i beat him 21-7. then there was another guy waiting in line, who hadn't played yet. he was scoffing at stevo for losing so badly and raring to get his two cents in. he got to proudly walk away boasting to stevo that he got eight points.
well, i now have a xanga account and a live journal account. i'm wondering if i should post the same thing on them, or something completely different, or nothing, or what. i can't do regular posting on all of them. too much time. we shall see.
learned how to play 3 new instruments today. for capoeira class. i don't even remember what two of them are called. one of them is...ahem...the tambourine. yeah. the other one is a big time fat piece of bamboo with grooves in it that you rub a stick across. absolutely dreadful. the other one consists of a 5 ft stick that has been painted, with a wire taken from a car tire attached to it like it's a bow. and it has a gord tied to it that functions as a sound box. you strike the string with a stick at the same time as holding a rattling shaker thingy. and you hold the gord against you to make a muffled sound, or hold it away to make a louder sound. you press a large "coin" against the string to make a different pitch. or to make a vibrating metallic sound. it's all wonderful...in a monotonous, droning, annoying, insane way. oh how i love capoeira!!!!
*sigh* i can't wait till the weekend. :-p

Well, give us your xanga and LJ addresses, although I have no idea why you would want more then one blog. You do look like a werewolf, but in a cool, neat, unscary sort of way. Was that Nicole?
I guess I'm not keeping everything straight, but you're playing with an orchestra? A whole orchestra?? Cool beans!!
Did you *really* launch in to orbit over a banana?? (Don't ya love how I twist the story a few times?) Or maybe it was the magic spell to disperse werewolves? "Draw the magic circle. Prepare the blue fire..." (Prince Caspian). Ok, apparently I'm full of usefulnism today. Or yesterday (as this is an old post). Or tomorrow....
