Things Happen

  • My pea vines sprouted their first flowers!
  • Garlic greens are crazy delicious!
  • Mahler's Symphony No. 2 is ridiculously dramatic and entertaining and it's super fun to belt out the last two pages.
  • NOT super fun is sitting through the FIRST FOUR MOVEMENTS because the choir doesn't sing until movement 5 but we're on stage the whole time (probably a solid hour).
  • I'm intrigued by dreams that seem horrible and frustrating and nerve-wracking while you're dreaming them, but when you wake up, you realize they're ridiculous.  Last night's example: I was late for school and couldn't put my clothes on.  I kept trying and trying but my bra hooks kept unhooking and my shirt and pants kept twisting so I couldn't get them on.  Finally I was dressed and at a choir performance, but I was from an alternate universe and had somehow replaced my double in her vocal jazz quartet.  The guy in the quartet was so attractive I didn't want to tell him I was just a doppelganger, but when it came time to perform I was so terrified by the fact that I didn't know my part that I decided I'd say that I was sick and couldn't go on, and at this point the dream transformed to me camping with my family while vomiting continuously through the entire trip.
  • It sort of feels like spring today, which is nice considering summer starts tomorrow. 
  • Too much coffee, not enough food.
  • Super 8 was an awesome movie.  "Drugs are so bad!!!"
  • One of the group of kids from said Super 8 was in a short film about a child genius inventing a time machine and thwarting Nazis.  Watch Ollie Klublershturf vs. the Nazis.  I love him.
