But he never expected the ninja to vanish... With his heart.

Today has been an alright day so far.

I actually woke up and STAYED AWAKE, meaning that I could get breakfast BEFORE noon today! It was wonderful. Theory was boring, Anthropology was boring, then in the hour between that and piano, I had to sort out some problems that the School of Music was having with me.

If you failed to turn in all of your marching band uniform before a specified deadline, they'd put your account on Hold and charge you a late fee. I think it's pretty reasonable. But when I turn in everything A MONTH BEFORE THE DEADLINE and they STILL put my account on hold and charge me, I get kind of pissed off. >:|
I talked to them about it, and they said "They'd check."
Man, screw them.

Piano was piano. I should probably start practicing more, but eh. I really don't feel like it. Oh well.

After piano, I went to Subway and got the most delicious sub: A footlong on Italian Herbs and Cheese bread with Roast Beef, Pepperonis, Bacon, Monteray Jack cheese, Mustard, Mayo, Jalapeños, cucumbers, pickles, spinach, and tomatoes. Om nom nom. I also got some Barbecue chips (Lays, of course) for later and some Vault. Awesome meal.

And now, I'm debating starting on my Theory project, registering all the crap I need to register for Anthropology, or working out OTHER things. Hurray for too much to do!
And on a side note, still no word (yet) on the Jonathan Coulton concert. Hmmm. It's starting to look iffy.

Upcoming events:
-This weekend is Trombone Day. I'll be getting a private lesson with one of the guest artists on Friday (Hopefully with my new horn) and my family will be coming up for the weekend. Then busy all Saturday and I don't know what'll be going on Sunday. Some friends want to visit, but that's kind of a weird day. We'll have to see.

-Also, more on Operation: Zombie Apocalypse at Wal-Mart. Wally and Chis aren't in, but I still have Mosher and Macey saying they're willing to do it. It'll have to take place in the evening, because I'll spend the morning at the KOMM Mardi Gras Parade down in Point Clear. I think this Mardi Gras break will be spectacular.

-And then, we have Valentines Day after that. I won't be able so spend time with Rin, so I'll be participating in Operation: We've Got Love. I haven't made any plans yet, but eh. I'll think of something.
(Video for details can be found here)

-No word yet on the Brawl tourney.


So... yeah. I think that's all for now. Time to stop slacking and get busy doing SCHOOLWORK. Pfffft, as if.

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

Yes, that's right. Today is GROUNDHOG'S DAY.

Which means that after class is over this afternoon, I'm going to watch the movie "Groundhog Day" this evening to celebrate. Hurray!

Now as for the actual event, there are some mixed news results as to whether or not we'll have more winter. Copied from the Huffington Post:

"Most local groundhogs did not see their shadows on Groundhog Day 2010, even though the most famous one of all did.

Punxsutawney Phil's Groundhog Day 2010 prediction was six more weeks of winter, as he did see his shadow.

But how about Buckeye Chuck, Staten Island Chuck, Jimmy The Groundhog, and General Lee Groundhog?

None of them saw their shadows."


Now, I've never even HEARD of any of those other guys, but some research shows that they've all got quite a following in their home states. But, who cares, right? Punx Phil saw his shadow AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS, DAMN IT.


Also, I got to sleep in this morning, which was a nice Groundhog's Day treat- Aural Skills was cancelled, Dr. Tychinski is out of town so I didn't have a lesson, and then Recital class wasn't until 11. It was nice to actually get some sleep (for once).

And that's why I love Groundhog's Day.



Coming up: Operation: Zombie Apocalypse at Wal Mart.
All the details are here, and I'm hoping to amass quite a showing at the Fairhope Wal-Mart. So far, I have Macey and Cleve in on it, but we haven't made any plans yet. If any of my Fairhope friends read this and want to participate, let me know.


That is all.
Happy Groundhog's Day, everyone!
