Weekend

maaaaaaan, i actually missed a day of blogging. i was doing so well! i guess it isn't really that big a deal. :-p friday was a usual day. stayed up latish at rayna's place with ever, david, karen, mellisa, and of course rayna. and me. yeah.

today i slept really late. then went to lunch. :-p again. then went to the music building and practiced till dinner time. yehaw! after dinner i played ping pong with dan. then mike joined us, and we actually had a little training session. in other words, me teaching them how to play. they both know the rules, and dan is a pretty decent player, but they have a lot to learn... so i was showing them how to do spins and stuff. and the correct way to serve. all that good stuff. oh my goodness!! i almost forgot about the biggest event of the day! must have been so excited about ping pong i got distracted. orchestra of the pines had a big concert tonight. it was really awesome. all four of the other concerto winners got to do their solos. two flutes, a french horn, and a singer. very nice job by everyone. there were lots of "outsiders" involved in this one. by outsiders, i simply mean people not associated with sfa. but there were guest artists and other semi-professionals, including graduate students from unt. they certainly added a nice touch to the performance. but of course my dear friends did an excellent job. i could hear each one individually. they just carried the whole orchestra along. couldn't have been done without them. brilliant masters, every one. er... anyway. then, after a scrumptious reception, we went and watched matrix revolutions. pretty awesome. it would be so cool to be able to do the moves they manage. i guess i'll jump back into capoeira with renewed energy. hiiiiiiiyahh!!!!!! since it's "latish" again, i best stumble off to bed.
