Happy Days
sometimes when i go for a while without exercising i forget how good it feels. i sleep so much better when my body is tired instead of just my brain. usually when brain is tired it's because i've been over-using it and it keeps racing while i try to put my body (which has been doing nothing but sit in a chair, most likely) to sleep. let's just say i have been sleeping well, and i'm SURE going to sleep well tonight.
this weekend has been great. had a movie night in nick and i''s apartment on thursday. we had hot chocolate and coffee and milk and juice and didn't eat anything. it was oodles of fun. then last night was the keyboard scholarship fundraiser concert. i had to work back stage in order to assist with moving pianos around during the concert. but really, i almost have more fun back there than in the audience - dancing around, taking pictures, cracking jokes with the performers, etc. i got to run out in the audience and sit with my lady for a couple of pieces. once in particular i had to make sure that a flying stick thrown by mr ajero didn't go into the audience and strike one of our dear elderly patrons on the noggin. on the program were a few students - craig playing mozart, schoppe playing lizst, chris playing chopin, tracy playing a jazz number she arranged herself with drums and bass to go along with it. dr petti played a very interesting piece inside the piano - plucking and strumming the strings, striking them with a drum stick, playing harmonics, and all kinds of crazy things. mr ajero and dr moon played some beethoven. dr parr appeared on stage as a rock star. he had his hair spiked, wore a black t-shirt with some colorful logo on the front under and unbuttoned black collar shirt, and sunglasses. the piano had no lid, was turned the wrong direction and cocked at an angle to the audience, and he banged on the piano with his foot (the whole show was called "something's afoot"). and the crowd went wild. mr ajero, dr moon, dr petti and mrs cooper played a great arrangement of the sabre dance. a few of us students decided that we need to learn it as a summer project. i hope i didn't leave anyone out. i think that's all the performers though.
after the concert we stayed for some cleanup, and then had another movie/pizza night at karen's place.
went dancing with heather this morning.
helped evan with some sign stuff for his eagle project (which i should post some pictures of eventually).
i could write three more blog posts worth on all that, but i'm really tired. goodnight my friends.
virtu \vuhr-TOO; vir-\, noun:1. love of or taste for fine objects of art.2. Productions of art (especially fine antiques).3. Artistic quality.
"The Italian humanist Giovanni Pontano described these objects as "statues, pictures, tapestries, divans, chairs of ivory, cloth interwoven with gems, many-coloured boxes and coffers in the Arabian style, crystal vases and other things of this kind . . . [whose] sight . . . is pleasing and brings prestige to the owner of the house." They all spoke to the wealth, taste and virtu of their owner."-- John Brewer, The Pleasures of the Imagination
