I woke up yesterday with a flaming red left eye. So thats not great, but it could be worse, right? Well, this morning I woke up with two red, itchy eyes. So I guess it got worse, no? Is it so wrong that I almost enjoy this feeling of sick? I mean, despite all the disgusting side-effects, there is someting almost comforting about knowing its ok to lay in bed and munch on ramen noodles all day rather than catch up on reading on ethical egoism and the question of morality. I also really enjoy the sound of a raspy voice. I was that kid who tried to make my voice raspy by screaming at basketball games when it was slightly inappropriate and probably highly unneccesary. And so, even though I had two concerts this weekend and it would have benefited me to have a full voice for both, I got a secret pleasure from my lower, more crackly voice. Its better now, though.
Today is the first day of spring. And there is a 70% chance of snow tomorrow. Boo you whore. The first day of spring is never warm, though. Although wouldn't it be funny if it were obligatory for everyone to where there most overtly spring outfits the first day of spring? That would be great. I'm sure it would be a sort of sadly pretty sight. The spring colors would be fun, but everyone would look extremely unhappy to be wearing them. So I guess its not really worth it.
Harrisonburg is a silly town. The a capella group had to participate in this local talent show of sorts called "chamber follies". If thats not a perfect way to get a glimpse of the real people of Harrisonburg, I don't know what is. Lets sum it up with this: Old women in vibrant red hats singing extremely off-pitch about Virginia, barbershop quartet in white suits with green cumberbunds, GOSPEL CHOIR, and old people dressed up as the characters from Camelot.
confused? So was I. Add 16 college-age girls to the mix and you have a very strannngggee set of performances. Free muffins made it all worthwhile. its hard to update while trying without success to peel an orange. So I'm going to devote my time to the more important endeavor: attacking this crazy delicious fruit.
p.s: V for Vendetta is kickass
