Today was my first rehearsal with one of the youth orchestras in Lima. They sounded much better than I expected. Probably because 90% of them study in the national conservatory. It's also the only youth orchestra that pays you. So...yay for getting some kind of income!

Only thing is the trombone parts are written in tenor cleff, which I guess makes sense since I play on a tenor trombone. I've always played in bass cleff. So, I ended up playing the bass trombone part today which went...

Damn...

So, the euphist who bested me in the last two regional band festivals of my high school career is trying to get accepted to the college where my Dad teaches, and where I might consider going as well.

Motherfucker

Should I follow my conscious and offer my help in getting him in, or should I follow my instincts and hoe he doesn't get in or chooses somewhere else?

So begins my 5-6 month stay in Peru. Even though it came with no effort, I´m extremel grateful to be fluent in at least one language. Yes, English.

This little green thing on its tail(?) kept popping in and out. I started smelling something weird and foul. Was it pheremones? I think it's a Ground Beetle.

Alright. So then, my new laptop came about a week ago. I got a Dell Inspiron 1545 (hiss at me all you want). I'm going on an extended leave to spend time with my grandmother in Peru, so to bolster the electronic, communicative experience, my mom decided to get a couple of webcams. They're Logitech QuickCams for Notebooks. My mom's installed fine on her laptop. Whenever I tried installing mine, it would go through the installation process and eventually leave me with this repeating window saying...

WE WANT OANST.

Here's to four years of love and committment, baby!

Interesting coincidence, it's the same day as Igor Stravinsky's birth, in case Google didn't already tell you.

Will add detasils in another blog later, perhaps.

I need to get a laptop soon, and I'm wondering if you guys had any reccomendations. I'd like for it to have all the percs and shiz like good for gaming and being able to do webcams and other stuff. I'm sort of lost.

My mom has a Dell account, so I'm probably going to order it through them.

Why the recent influx of n00bs?
