Eh, procrastinating is cool
OK OK. I didn't post on Thursday, and I didn't post on Monday either. So what? It's not like you were playing anyway. Well.
Two men were sitting in the sunlight. They were discussing their recent travels. We pick up the scene.
"I was in Paris once, saw the Arc de Triomphe."
"Oh yeah? What's dat a looks?"
"Set a pen and paper. I'll try to show ya." The second man retrieves the items in question for the first. After some time the man displays his sketch to his companion.
"Wooooooowee! That's a mighty big arch! How long ya think it took to byoot it?"
"I dunno. I hear tell that Napoleon started it, had to stop, and then finally managed to finish it, or sumsuch."
"I reckon I ain't never gonna see that there strucsha."
"Eh, ya never know."
As they departed the shared some final words.
"chimnant"
To which his friend replied, "less than equals"
Why they said that, one can't say. They're an odd bunch.
It seems Karma is a harsh mstress. I got a 98 on the second test because I used the word "is" instead of "has." Perhaps I should not be mocking him. Aaa well. I get Test three back tomorrow, hopefully.
Band Practice is going well. The line is good!!! And disciplined!! And young, but experienced!!! I sat in the back while they rehearsed and had to keep from drooling. When the other drum instructor (yeah, the line has two of us) left I had to take over. I was afraid I was going to break them. Anyway. One of my snares went to get some water. He came back and says, "Mr. [Wolf]! There's a bat over there!" This is remarkable because we were in the school cafeteria. I walk over and sure enough there's a bat sitting on the ceiling. Huh. Can't leave him here. So I went and got a dust pan. Then I thought, "nah he'll just fly out of that." So I went and got a broom. I'll scoop him in the pan, cover it with the broom and walk him to the door. Yeah right. I ain't that coordinated. Hey that trash can is empty. So I grab the can and just hold it up on the ceiling around the little bat. Ok now what? Better head towards the door. So there I am sliding a trash can along the ceiling of the cafeteria with this bat inside. The bat was not happy about the situation. He was screeching. I kept going. I get to the door and am like, "Now what?"
"Help! Open the door!" Of course the line didn't hear me, so I had to wait for them to finish the cadence I had them playing.
"Help! Open the door!" The line comes running over. They're very excited. One of them open's the door. Here we go. I give the can a shake to get him in the bottom and then quick as I can I get the can outside. I had to shake the bat out, but he safely flew away. The line stared in wonder at the tiny flying rodent.
"All right, back inside!"
Today the band went to Night Beat. griffdog may remember that Xavier marched for Carolina Crown. Well this is there home show. As a staff member I got a free ticket. I was never really into Drum Corps. I made fun of the fanatics in the drumline about their ... ummmmm ... fanaticism. But it really is a sight to see. *The bass drums!! Oh man I'm a sucker for some really sick bass drum runs. Some crazy 32nd note stuff that's just all over the place is awesome. Southwind did this wicked drum feature. The basses dismounted and each came up beside a tenor player. The tenors dropped their left hand and the basses' right hands became tonro left hands. They started simple enough but very quickly they were doing some wicked fast cross hand drum to drum nonsense. I had to catch my eyes and put them back in their sockets 'cause they just popped right out.* The section enclosed by asterisks is what I would usually make fun of others for. Feel free to deliver unto me my just desserts.
Well it's August so I think the lady who knows the AP scores may be back. I'll check tomorrow. I'm really excited about Stat next semester. It's a ton of fun.
I've started playing Survivor. Yeah that Survivor, except, not that Survivor. I'm playing Survivor Magic. I'm one of 18 players in three tribes that play reward challenges and immunity challenges and vote players off and stuff. I'm in the Kashi Tribe. I'm confident in our little band. I'm pretty sure I won't be the first person voted off the island, which was my only real goal.
