ESYO Concert
Was fantastic. I wish I had it videotaped. But I’ll buy the CD. Hearing isn’t always seeing.
January 2009
I am Torn
I am in the market, as it were, for sound libraries. Unfortunately it is not my area of expertise, and I don’t really know how to shop around.
Today Would be a Really Nice Day
To go cross-country skiing somewhere.
P.S.--I am also bored out of my mind.
Stuck in 2008
For some reason, whenever I see 2008, I always think, “Oh, that’s this year.” Even something that if this year was 2008, something that hadn’t yet happened would make me say that, then realize it’s 2009, and make me feel stupid.
I think that over the last five years, I’ve become less intelligent/less articulate. 5 years signifies the time when I made the...
Sitting Around
I am sitting here in school, listening to girls talk about hair. It’s not very interesting. And that’s saying something, because I can usually be interested in almost anything girls talk about.
You Know What's Annoying?
Two song that we will be playing for our next ESYO concert in March are not on iTunes OR YouTube. So I will have no idea what they sound like until next week.
You Know What's Scary?
Just within the last five minutes, the UPS truck went by my house and around the cul-de-sac, and when it got halfway around, it started sliding like a car on one of those wet skid pad things at those car testing facilities. Yeah. I don’t think UPS trucks should be able to do that. They also should have ABS—at least, if not yaw control and TSC and ESC and VSA, etc., maybe even...
You Know What's Sad?
I just made a post about how tragic it is that Macs don’t support 4-pin FireWire cables, and it didn’t get posted.
You Know What's Sad?
I just discovered that I need a four-pin to six-pin FireWire Cable to be able to import video from my DV camera, instead of a four-pin to four-pin.
Not happy at all. I was really hoping to be able to make a DVD today. Now I have to go spend more money—which in this case I’d rather not do.
You Know What's Funny?
Is that you probably never realize how loud the fan is on your computer until someone takes it out of the room.
My mom is working at home today due to the weather, and she just took the laptop into the living room, and it got really quiet.
On the subject of noise, I had ESYO last night, and it was our dress rehearsal, as I previously mentioned, and since our concert is at the College of Saint...
I suppose I'll write something
Well, I guess I really haven’t said much about anything regarding myself recently. But there really isn’t anything TO say. I am learning my way around OS X, and figuring out how to type on a Mac keyboard. It’s nice though to have a fast computer—even the internet is faster.
Mid-terms start tomorrow.
My father is watching the Australian Open, yelling at the TV.
ESYO...
iChat
Video Chat is amazing.
Oh MacHinations
I got a nice new 24” iMac today. I am getting used to the keyboard, and experiencing how difficult it is to use a wireless printer.

11 Hours Gone
I went to Connecticut today for my cousin’s birthday. The 2.5-3 hour drive was incredibly boring and slow. I always have fun at their house though. We pretty much played Rock Band all day on Wii (I’ve never played Rock Band—I think it’s pretty fun). Driving all that way and only staying for 6 hours is a complete bummer. My mom didn’t want to stay over because...
What Was I Going to Say?
Oh Yeah.
So I just printed off my application to NYSMF for this summer. As it usually is, I am not looking forward to the process of going, but as always I’ll enjoy myself immensely. This year, since I am into the whole composition thing, I am going to apply to the composition workshop in addition to cello. The only thing though is that 1: I need to send in at least three compositions (I...
All men are created equal. No matter how hard you...

I just watched Milk. It was one of the best movies I have seen this year. The fact that it mirrored America today was not only sad, but pathetic. In around forty years, we still haven’t changed too much. There are still people out there who are completely homophobic. Women got their rights. Blacks got their rights. Now it’s time for the gays.
If you haven’t seen Milk yet, watch it...
Oh Palm
I just watched an hour-long unveiling of the Palm Web OS and the Palm Pre. It seems better than the iPhone, but I can’t bring myself to want it more.
My Life is Falling Apart Before My Eyes
I am sad/making myself sad, and being paranoid.
EDIT: RE: POST: Diana Rigg
I forgot about the other Bond Girl who is my favorite.
Jane Seymour in addition to Diana Rigg is my favortie Bond Girl.
I Am Decently Happy Right Now
I was perusing the iTunes store, and somehow — I think it was because I typed in “Bassoon Concerto” in the search box — I stumbled across recordings of the Columbia University Orchestra in iTunes U. What’s great is that, since they are essentially Podcasts, they are free, so now I have all this great free music, that I’ve been wanting (ie- Le Sacre du Printemps,...
A Time for Change Has Come
Today is the greatest day in my life. Put up your, “O’s.”
CREO

mycelloisblack:
We went to CREO tonight yet again.
It was excellent as always.
Some interesting points:
I had a Mojito (non-alcoholic), which was great — I’ve had this feeling since I saw Pierce Brosnan drink a Mojito in Die Another Day that I would be a Mojito person…and I was right.
I also had dessert this time, I had Creme Brulee. It was actually the best I’ve ever had — it...
Diana Rigg
Is my favorite Bond Girl. Why, you ask? I cannot explain it.
Where Have All the People Gone?
No one is talking to me on Facebook, hardly anyone is posting on Tumblr.
What’s going on people? Where are you?

Nothing
Is going on in my life at all. For once, I can’t talk about myself.
(Other than that)
