Matt In Brief:
- Today was "old age" day in Makeup class, so I made myself out to be Oedipus (at Colonus). I wasn't satisfied by any means, mostly because she didn't explain wrinkles to the guys, only the girls. And considering there were only 3 guys today - the guy who had already taken the class, the handicapped guy, and me - I'm not that surprised. Anyway, I'm probably going to redo it at some point.
- Read Nocturne again today. Pyles likes the piece a lot, as do I. It's realy dark and brooding, like the Hungarians. "They're Hungary...for action!"
- Started to write the synopsis of my Life and Death play chess one-act. I'm just not motivated enough.
- Math is boring. I already know everything.
- Spanish is boring. I already know everything.
- In Voice, we're singing a new Baroque piece that sounds pretty cool. And unlike "Caro mio ben", I actually can stay in the same octave through the whole piece.
- Speaking of, I sang the B today when walking home from Algebra listening to "Phantom of the Opera".
- I had forgotten about Phantom, and I got a kick out it. I had forgotten about the part in the title song when Michael Crawford comes in higher than Sarah Brightman. That was good stuff.
- I'm adored! Oh, and I'll have the recordings in .mp3 tomorrow for you.
- I'm recording myself playing the ragas I'm coming up with. They're really enjoyable to play. The only problem is the whole set of recordings is in D. Perhaps I'll go up a half step, but I much prefer the sound of the open D chord. It sounds the best.
- Watched "Rock N' Roll Circus" during my break between Makeup and Algebra. Highlights include:
- The Who doing "Ivan" and Keith Moon pouring water of the drums so it splashed up when he pounded them into drum-blivion
- The Stones doing "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Jumping Jack Flash"
- The Dirty Mac (John Lennon on guitar and vocals, Keith Richards on bass, Eric Clapton on lead, and Mitch Mitchell on drums) doing "Yer Blues" (PURE FUH-REAKIN' AWESOMENESS) and "Oh Yoko", which unfortunately the witch herself (who was ironically dressed in a witch costume, hat and all) participated in.
- The big group sing-along of "Sods of the Earth" lead by Keith and Mick.
