West Music just called me back. The entire bell of my tenor is out of alignment and so there is straightening and sodering to be done. $80 worth of it. snuh. The guys words were something to the effect of “you’ve probably been having problems with the low notes?” Heh. With any kind of luck, [...]

Shatner movie was elaborate hoax At least they didn’t have to endure Ashton Kutcher. Update: I like the updated Press-Citizen headline: “Riverside feels wrath of con” Also, overheard at work, “I think that is just horrible, I feel so bad for those people. Does anyone know when it will be on tv? I really want [...]

Never one to shirk from debate, Utech posted in the comments of my State of the HMB entry and raised the question: “what if we didn’t march that well? I’m not saying that junior band is good, or that they’re better than we were. But I just wonder if every generation of HMB has an [...]

Being in my marching band mindset, I busted out my marching tenor when I got home from work. Plastic reed still in place, neck cork not dried out, no visible problems on the horn itself, I assembled my sax, took a deep breath and quickly remembered that something is wrong with it. I think it [...]

*insert joke about how I don’t really do any work here* Ok, that’s out of the way. I am so scattered today, scattered like I haven’t been in a long time. You have been warned. Earlier today, I put together a seemingly coherent post (see below) about the general state of sucking that is the [...]

The Paris Hilton Collection exclusively at Amazon.com. Amazingly enough, you cannot actually buy Paris Hilton. Though you may be able to pre-order.

Over my lunch hour today, I ran downtown to University Camera to see about getting my camera fixed. Long story short, I’ll have to wait until after homecoming to send it in if I want to have it for next weekend. It will just have to be ghetto with a piece of tape holding the [...]

Summer officially ended today. Le sigh. It was good to me, so before I completely embrace college football (I did not see/hear the last game, therefore, I do not acknowledge that it happened.) and the decreasing temperatures, let me sum up the last month or so: My mom and I had a wonderful 2,500+ mile [...]

I’m back from Greece. Ok, so I didn’t actually go to Athens for the games, but I might have well have considering I basically dropped off the planet for the whole two weeks. Beijing 2008! I’m so there. But before I’m so there, I’m so out of her tonight heading off to see Harry and [...]
