I've been in Chicago a couple days now. It's Spring Break and I have a sore throat. My sisters flew in yesterday and they cleaned my brother's apartment. So far we've seen the Chicago Symphony Art Institute of Chicago, Ikea, and several Chinatown restaurants. So far the weather has been pretty moderate. Not cold or [...]
Dr. Beck is the first person to laugh out loud. The middle person is Mark Applebaum, genius composer. The clicking noise is my neighbor moving around in her seat and unrelated to the non-music. We played ultimaterockpaperscissors while listening to Dufay's Missa Se la face ay pale. Valentine's Day pictures
Directions Score A chance piece with mallets. There's a lot of possible ways this piece could end up. But the form should cause an overall growth in density of sound, because the availibility of 'larger rest' elements. Because of the number of elements played, and the spacing of the larger rest areas, there will be [...]
My flight home at the start of Winterbreak from Baton Rouge had just enough passengers for each to have their own row. Now, both flights on the way back, Tampa to Atlanta, Atlanta to Baton Rouge have been packed. I didn't have much breakfast so I've been pounding the airline peanuts and a couple packs [...]
Everytime I go home, I realize how little I know about my parents and grandparents. My Grandfather, on my mom's side, has diabetes. Nothing too serious, but he's always been thin. He wasn't diagnosed until he moved to the US, well after my family moved to Florida. His grandparents owned a general store and spoiled [...]
On the the connecting flight on my way home from Atlanta to Tampa, I sat next to a girl who had just gotten out of basic training. She had just got her release and was flying home two weeks before going her assignment. She told me the hardest part wasn't the physical traning but rather [...]
I'm back in Florida. I haven't been back in 4 months. Gloria came back last night- she's the last one to come back. It's been really weird living without my siblings. I did pretty well this semester and I'm really glad to be back home. I've been completely relaxing, playing video games, seeing my grandparents. [...]
My life right now is so streamlined I don't really have time for new things. I hardly have time for Law and Order. Everything else in my life is scheduled so I can do work. I realized a couple days ago that I don't really want anything for the holidays. I wouldn't be able to [...]
I stayed in Baton Rouge for Thanksgiving. My sisters went home. My mom called today and sounded really sad that my brother and I weren't there. I wish I could have been home. For Thanksgiving dinner, I made myself a turkey pita and a protein shake. I tried to make a baked potato, but didn't [...]
My brother wrote a post the other day about his experience in Chicago so far. I related with it so much, I joked that I would copy the entire post and replace 'Chicago' with 'Baton Rouge' and would be completely true for me. But the following week, he made a post contrasting me with him, [...]
