"The" question...

What ever will we, said band geeks, do now that there is no band to be geeks for? I was wondering about writing fun little songs that would consist probably of a percussionist, one or two wind parts (very small and improvised) and me... reading or singing (although I don't do the later very well) the words I'll make up. Man, you know, I get so caught up in the creative part and it never ends up happening that I want some things to just happen. Anyways, it'd be cool to like do that and then when school starts again, we could have little performances for random people at random times during the day. I think it'd be really really fun and cool and band geeky. :)
Ok, that's my band geekiness for today. See y'all later.

"The" question...

wow

did you guys like my quadruple question? It just appeared there. Who knows why? I don't.

Hmm......mmH

does anyone want to play a game of scrabble?
Just a random question for the day.

This just in...

The official unofficial movie poster. Get yours while your printer works.

Once again

prevailing conditions necessitate nothing less than... a blog.

Jarrett's film was just about the funniest thing I've ever seen. It is the story of a monk who is entrusted by the king with the data tape which is promptly stolen by the theif who is betrayed by her master who duels with the hero who finally triumphs... and in the end everyone get's hotdogs.

It's got intrigue!
It's got stunt doubles!
It's got extras!
It's got soundtrack!
It's got major plot flaws!
It's got a cult following!

AND IT'S PLAYING SOON IN A BAND HALL NEAR YOU!!!

but......but.............but
I thought I was bein good?!
BACON!!!

" " indeed

I think I'll post something here "on" the blog. Matt, I'm sorry. I hope your self esteem gets better. Cory Jensen does not wear make-up. But he does have promotional pictures taken of him playing percussion. Ok, it was only powder so his face wouldn't be shiny when the flash reflected off his head.

Jeff.....! You promised to be good. So be good, or I'll Edit you.

Ben's MIND!!!

You are weak BeN!!!! I am utterly insulted at the pic u used for me!!
Honestly, if you're gonna use the powerpuff girls, at least make me bubbles and
not all THREE!!!! REALLY!!!
tee-hee!!JK!!
SPAM!!!!!!

What's going on here?!?

I mean, really!! It's like, I keep looking on this blog (and Jeff's) and I'm like, wanting to post somewhat in relation/response to what other people are writing. But guess what, NOONE'S FREAKING BLOGGED IN DAYS!!!!! What' up? Did everybody's blog desire suddenly jump up and leave their bodies? Maybe it died with the advent of finals... but knowing band hall people, y'all'd rather laugh and be funny than do homework. Right?

Would you like to go on "a" date?
Man, that was kinda funny, wasn't it. I still can't believe that hanging out with nothing to do turned into movie making. Well, that's the band hall for ya, huh?

Percussion Notes

Wow! Anyone go to the percussion concert? My self esteem was greatly tested. We should have a web page for Keippisms. He even thinks so. He made a comment pertaining to the hair that I no longer have on my head. It was quite humorous. He felt really bad after. I tried to get free lessons from it but he wasn't having any. Oh well.

The U and financial stuff

I went to the campus of "The U" yesterday for my academic advisor meeting. I was up there about three hours early so I could familiarize myself with the new surroundings, only to find out that the meeting was less than 15 minutes! It was still good to get up there and just walk the campus. I thusly decided to live on campus, not off. It would be far too hecktic to try to commute from ANYWHERE to that campus on a daily basis. I just hope I can get enough financial aid to pull it off. The FAFSA asks for all income, not taxable income alone, so I might be in trouble there. My folk's taxable income was about half of what their total income for the year was! Anyway, I will be attending tonight's performance of Carmina Burana. I hope it is good. I was at the rehearsal the other night and it sounded awesome, so I bet it will be just as good tonight.

Coming down the home stretch...

School will be out soon. Then I'll be building a porch, learning a choreographed swordfight, working, relaxing, hanging out with my friends from high school, downloading a lot of songs from Napster (fully legal, now), going to Europe, learning the guitar, writing the pit parts for next years field show, maybe buying some stuff, and just other stuff. Ok, now I have to get to work on my homework so that my summer relaxing will be bliss rather than regret.

Also, I'm planning on going to the Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band concert next friday. I'll have to see if I can find a girl to go with me.

You know how in the Matrix movies all the little people still plugged in are never relevant to anything, and the main characters just consider them moving obstacles to be pushed aside? I feel the same way.

If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again. If you need help hang up and then dial your operator... in Albuquerque.

Joe's Last Request

Well, I'll be a-practicing like mad today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow for the upcoming concerts. I really wish that we had just a few weeks more to work on our piece for Wind Ensemble. I think it would be a really fun piece to play if we just had a bit more time to polish it up a bit.

Today, Diego and my person went to Vista WebCT training. That's the new system that all the WSUonline courses will be through starting next spring semester. Fun stuff. I really liked the community chat/whiteboard feature. It was way cool.

There was an interesting post put up by Dr. Keipp on the greetings thread of Vista about sound. I'll have to ask him about that one sometime.

Poor, poor the general manager of the Abbey Inn in Cedar City. I hope they take care of the wi-fi system there to prevent nervous breakdowns all around.

I kind of dig my new job, but I'm a little unsure of exactly what I want to do when I grow up. At this point I think a fireman is out of the picture. Astronaut too.

By the by, Jason, I think the tagline of your website has got to be one of the coolest and funniest things I've read in a while.

Quote of the day:
As a logical fallacy, Wishful Thinking is an argument whose premiss expresses a desire for the conclusion to be true.

And, yes, the author treats the spelling of premiss in an endnote; the spelling is correct.

The lazy days of the weeks before finals

So, for Jazz band we had sectionals today. So, better than normal, the Trombones actually had ours... but it didn't last for very long. We worked on the beginning of Latin Schizofrenia. It ended up being really well. Then, my english class was cancelled today so we could work on our papers. Yeah, I didn't do anything but sit around the band hall and make funnies. It was great fun. Now I'm at work, where its very slow and I'll be going to Melanie's house for movies tonight. Yeah, a lot of lazying around for Ben!!! Yay for me.
