No band tomorrow!!!!!! But it really doesn't matter because I have to go to that stupid retreat, which means I'm essentially going to school for two weeks straight. I suppose I could practice during band time, maybe piano. Uggghhhh.....
Tuesday I went to a lecture about Malawi's culture and music. It was interesting enough I suppose, but there were all of about ten people in the audience, including me and farsheshe who I forced to come. Actually I just asked nicely, and she couldn't resist such a humble request.
For Ear Training we're using this stupid software for mastery in the areas of intervals, scales, chords, harmonic dictation, etc., and I really hate it, although I find it fun that it doesn't work with Mac OS X, so I have to use OS 9. I feel so old school. It's great. So many people at school are getting viruses and crap on their computers, and today in ear training one girl piped up and said, "I'm not cuz I have a Mac," and I said "Mac's are great," and Dr. Dickinson agreed, and of course everyone opened their stupid mouths and said they don't like Macs. I guess it just takes a special person to own a Mac, however, Marissa's mommy loves her, so I guess she's special too. Now if only I could get my hands on an iMac G5...
I think my money has finally been found, so seashell's iPod and iBook will soon be completely paid for, and I will no longer be entirely poor, just pretty damn close. I'll probably just use the money to pay for my insurance for the rest of the year, and I still won't have any money, because they had to abide by the anti-stacking rules. The rest of that money is just floating off into space somewhere or is being used to reconstruct I-30, and that's just stupid. If it weren't for the construction, I could make it here in an hour and a half. Oh well, now I have enough money for gas. Maybe I can go buy a copy of Angela's Ashes now. I could go ahead and get Tis while I'm at it. No, I can't. I'm still a poor college student. Yes No Yes No....ARRRGGGHHHH!!!! I need Irish literature badly! Has anyone read The Poisonwood Bible? That is an awesome book and another one I need to own, although it is not about the Irish.
Sorry about all the long, boring posts, but I know some poor soul out there is becoming inspired and is convoginating in vast amounts. We really are changing the world one liberal at a time. It might take forever, but one day we'll have all the stupid people living in Rhode Island, and we'll have trips to Ireland right at our finger tips. You people need to post so we can pull more folks to our side. May the Force be with you.

P.S. Is it just me or do the Johnsons really enjoy discussing poop? Good luck on the biology test, eRIc. Remember to sit close to farsheshe...
P.P.S. I really need a chocolate-banana shake and a pilot...
