A sphincter says "What?"

What?

Exactly.

I'm really not in the mood to drive the 20 miles to my piano class (and back), but I really should because the final performance is next week and I need to show my instructor that I can actually play something.

Other exciting plans for today: study for an exam; obsessively check online to see if there has been any change regarding my admissions status to graduate school; finish my Johns Hopkins application once and for all; start watching Tell Me You Love Me which finally finished downloading last night (naked Ian Somerhalder anyone?); do homework problems in physics; et fucking cetera.

Guess I need to restart my engine. A real, sanctioned break is actually coming up so if I can just make it to the 29th without dying, then everything will be good.

ooohhhh! I really want to listen to a piano performance! Been listening a lot of piano umm I'm not sure what pieces of music played on the piano is called.

I've never heard of Tell Me You Love Me or Ian Somerhalder, but I hope you enjoy your movie. :P
» randomjunk on 2008-03-15 02:20:44

I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano, but I never did. maybe one of these days I'll get around to it.

Ah, I remember when spring break meant that we actually had a break. What was that, like three, four years ago maybe? Excuse the extreme amount of bitterness evident in my voice.

haha, alright, dupilcate comment removed. RJ watches a lot of cartoons that I've never heard of so I guess we're even. and I would love to hear Eeyore curse =P

Rachmaninoff?? OMG! She got to be good. I'm listening to the Theme of Panginini...?? not sure of the title and it's awesome!
» Nuttz on 2008-03-15 11:57:20

alexander march? why is that song so familiar.... maybe i have listened to it before...

yes the brilliant green is still alive even though the lead singer is off doing her own solo project but recently they just released an album as a group... the songs r still good. that's why i want to buy their best album.

Yeah, I went through the exact same thought process as you did. I was like, "Not last year, DEFINITELY not 2006, I can't remember the one in 2005... [I now recall that I was abroad, where we still had classes on Easter]... then 2004 was that AWESOME St. Patrick's Day with you and me and Rory and cigars and toilet-seat liners and no cares at all. Amazing." I'll have to attempt to have a decent St. Patrick's Day tomorrow, but my geophysics of planetary evolution midterm on Tuesday and my advanced fluid mechanics exam on Wednesday might put a damper on that.
SoCal! Beautiful SoCal! How you live on in golden echoes in my memory!

I did not you were a pianist. I have two pianos, want one? Too bad neither are grands. Or mini-grand.
Thanks for reminding me that I have a pile of papers waiting to be written. Truely, thanks.

re: ha no, the people I'm talking about are not members of nutang. but a nutang 'hook-up' would definitely be scandalous. and it would make for interesting topic among the other members =P
