Christmas and other such nonsense
Christmas was pretty good. got plenties of stuff.
I got:
CDs: Middlesex County Volunteers: Guardian Angels; The Essential Electric Light Orchestra; Rusted Root: Cruel Sun; something by a Brittish drum corps; The Best of 10CC
Books: The American West; and a whole bunch of other stuff.
DVDs: SNL: 25 Years of Music - 5 vol. set; THE WHO!!!!
A case for my beautiful Cooperman!!!
A lovely, shiny G-Clef tie
A lovely, shiny Canada tie
A pair of piano socks...
New DH skis
A couple of music-oriented novelties such as notpads and playing cards.
So it was a pretty good christmas overall. Although it rained all last night and today, thouroughly ruining the snow.
I did so much work today, it was dismal. I woke up at 10:30, which felt incredibly good. I proceeded to start working on my art project, for which, after searching for appropriate material, i realized i would hve to compose my own song. So i went out to the piano with the sole intention of picking out a tune and scribbling it down. I ended up sitting out there for an hour and plunking around. i made up yet another good intro to a song. so i've got, like, 20 intros to use. now i need to figure out middles and ends.... Anywho, then abby called and wanted to know if i could go bowling. I was unfortunately inclined to refuse, given my workload. After i got off the phone with her, i came back out and composed a 3-layered slide, which took 2 hours. then I made another one out of construction paper, but it was incredibly detailed, so it took me a really long time.
And pretty soon, i have to go pack for Nordic training camp! We get to go up to caribou to eat, sleep, ski, watch skiing, and shoot stuff for a week. 'twill undoubtedly be a blast.
And guess how far it is each way? i don't even know, but it's a 6-hour car ride. that's how long it takes to get from here to New York....But once you get through two hours (to presque isle), the highway runs out, and it's all back roads and dirt roads from there.
And when i get back at 10 pm on Dec. 30th, there might be some new year's eve plans waiting for me. At least i hope there will be.
Right. Off to pack!
