Up with trumpets!!

Well, hello my band geeky friends. It's been quite a while since I checked into the virtual band hall. I thought I would take a break between procrastinating on my 14 page paper and procrastinating on my film to swing by and say hello.

What does it take to ever get anyone to show a little love and visit me here in Salt Lake? I sure to miss all of you, my dear band friends.

So, as the first order of busines, here is my response to Ben's game:

Flute 10
Clarinet 8
Saxophone 12
Trumpet 14
Trombone 11
Tuba 14
French Horn 10
Violin 4
Viola 6
Harp 11

If you know anything about me, you know my undying hatred for french horns, so I had to stick it to them by stealing their point and giving to the greatest instrument of all time, the trumpet.

Ah, I have a random joke to tell you:
A pirate walks into a bar and has a ships wheel shoved down the front of his pants. He sits down at the bar and orders a drink. The bartender says, "Hey, you know, you've got a ships wheel down your pants?" And the pirate says, "Yarrr. I know, and it's drivin' me nuts."

Let's see, what else? Oh! I went out to a couple movies recently which I feel you all need to see. First, Casino Royale. It's possibly the best 007 film I have seen in a long time, and maybe even ever. They just nailed it. The action is awesome, and Daniel Craig makes one mean Bond. Kudos to the James Bond team and a nice achievement. Second, The Fountain. What an incredible film. If you have been paying attention to the reviews, you know what I mean. Darren Aranofski is best known for Requiem for a Dream, which is the best anti-drug film ever made (it'll scare the crap out of you and make you never ever want to take drugs). Here, he continues to push film in new and interesting directions. Check it out.

Okay! That's all I have. Go go trumpet!!
