So, I think we've come to a consensus

WE"RE MOVING TO L.A.!

That's right motherfuckers! We're done with this place.
By "we" I mean the lead singer Dan, his girl friend Tiffany, and myself. I'm really trying to convince my girlfriend to come along with us, but she's still on the fence about leaving Alaska and not working for the school district up here like...

OH MY GOD!

I just saw the trailer for the new Street Fighter movie (the legend of Chun LI)

I'm totally going to see that tomorrow. I wonder what the first showing is.
This will be the worst movie of all time.

So, I got my first film to score. It's a 9 minute piece about this guy who's stranded at a rest stop and...

So - lots of crap has been going down. All sorts of crap.

Let's recap:

1 - I applied for graduation a couple of weeks ago, and I just received my degree audit. All of it seemed fine - EXCEPT a small sentence at the bottom that says: Your degree requires a total of 120 credits, 42 of which must be upper division. You currently...

So, I've been keeping busy, which is why I haven't updated in a while.

My band's playing more shows, which means I've been having to write a lot more songs. I'm pretty pleased with the new stuff so far, but the more I write, the less I like the old stuff I wrote. We're getting closer to defining our sound, but that means having to...

1_ My laptop crapped out after 3 months of ownership... nothing serious, but the screen flickers from time to time. So off it goes to the manufacturer for warranty works.

2_ I managed to pull off straight A's this semester.. first time in my life that's ever happened. I'm still perplexed by it, but yay me!

3_ Christmas was the...

I'M DONE WITH MUSIC HISTORY!!!

yay for me.

It was sort of lame, because the professor told us we could bring a page of notes with us to the test, then when we get there, he backpedaled and decided against that idea as it would be "unfair" to the people who took less awesome notes... Fuck that noise.

Still... I managed to pull out 2...

ugh

So, the Ensemble concert is over and done with. We were... there? Some slight mishaps throughout the night, but we made it through in one piece. yay.

Now I'm sitting in my room on a Saturday night, cramming as much info about Bach ([sarcasm]J.S. mind you, not J.C.![/sarcasm]) as I can muster. Damn this is lame. At least I crunched the numbers and even...

So!

Conducting final... CHECK and MATE, good sir (or ma'am)!
We had to conduct a recitative from Handel's The Messiah, which I am proud to say I rocked thoroughly.
Recitative conducting is one of the hardest kinds for beginning students, because you have to react to what the singer gives you instead of being in a constant state of control. Like trying to balance...

So.. I got my camera back up and running again.. after months of not having batteries, I finally got my ass in gear and picked up some rechargeable ones.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!

6 MONTHS OF PHOTOS BLOG!

So, this is a coffee can I found at an Asian market in town... the man on the cover bears a striking resemblance to my friend...
