I graduated. My mom, brother, and aunt were in town for my two ceremonies. I attended the big University Commencement at which President Obama gave the Commencement Address. That was a huge headache and hassle, but worth it in the end. Lots of good memories. Alice Cooper was also there and performed his song "School's Out for Summer" with his son's ( Read more... )

My friend Nate was very kind to pick me up from the airport, and then he ran me around to get groceries and other things ( Read more... )

Just in case anyone is wondering, I’m still in Oklahoma. I was supposed to fly out of Tulsa at 6:20AM this morning (Sunday). Because of all the nasty weather, nearly all flights have been cancelled for the past few days. Mine was one of them, but I was able to get my flight changed to the same flight on Monday morning.

I'm looking for some kind of small gadgety thing that I can use to record myself playing piano. I primarily want it just so I can hear myself, but it would be nice if it's something 'modern ( Read more... )
