Just Another Day Living in the Hood. (Nur ein anderer Tag in der Nachbarschaft wohnen)
Well, its been a full weekend of laying around the house. I worked for 7 hours on Saturday, and thats about it. I bought a new r/c car from Radio Shack -- a yellow racing Corvette. Then I did a lot of sleeping. So much so, I was well rested this morning, and got up and mopped the kitchen floor at 8am. I really did a lot of spring cleaning around here today (except for in my bedroom).
The long (one week) awaited choir cds came in last week. Listening to it fills me with mixed emotions. A few songs sound good, the rest pretty much suck. Why do they suck you ask? Two words: the women. Actually, the Altos sound ok (when you can hear them), its the Sopranos. They sound sooo bad. They have a very shrill and un-unified sound. And on top of that, its like one of the microphone's was placed right up their asses. They completely drown out the Altos, and almost the Tenors for that matter. The Baritone/Bass section (my section) is clearly the best section. Next year we should have a men's only choir. However, with all that said, I'm going to miss choir during the coming Summer months. Maybe there is a community group somewhere I can join in the mean time?
Ok, I'm going to abruptly stop writing now.
