wilderness orientation was a huge sex fest.. no, that is in fact 100% literal.

so yesterday i moved in to my dorm, its pretty nice, and it is said that they are the biggest dorms on campus. i think what they did was use up all their energy making rooms slightly bigger, totally ignoring the bathrooms. i feel like i can contract an std by simply setting foot in the place. theres one rickety shower thats broken and only works because people ignored the screen door and hung up another screen right in front of it. sigh. well at least its water not mud.

good news tho, i met a few people who are actuallly friends, not acquaintances of the "hi whats your name where are you from where are you staying... cool ok bye" variety. so things will probably end up alright eventually.

i am tired because it is 730 in the morning... im going to be taking a spanish placement exam (which i plan to fail) at 930... but i guess i woke up with my roommate who has to take it at 830... hes gone now. yesterday i got very little sleep. i was mucking around doing nothing feeling miserable till about 2 in the morning. at this point i called up the singaporean girl who lives downstairs and said let's go find food. so at 2 in the morning we left and just wandered around talking till we ended up in some creepy residential district... i swear one person had ghosts in his lawn. we got back at about 315. we found no food... cuz it was late. which reminds me, im starving. im going to head to breakfast

did you know that that is hermione's favorite spell??  =D hooray!

anyways for one of the most interesting reads involving what i call "Harry Potter Theory" (ha its like music theory except its for harry potter) go to this site:

http://www.davekopel.com/Misc/Mags/Severus-Snape-The-Unlikely-Hero-of-Harry-Potter-book-7.htm

and if you want an embellishment (aka a mad-long discussion forum of the above topics) go to this site:

http://blog.qiken.org/archives/2005/07/harry_potter_th.html

this thing took me forever to finish reading through... and its fun not only cuz smart people discuss the overlooked parts of harry potter, but stupid people discuss stupid topics, eventually getting themselves unceremoniously banned from the forum.  :) i like when the stupid guy got himself banned by saying the stupidest comments.

look! cho chang! ...for some reason it might want u to go into properties and paste out the picture url source... who knows why
 its sad its so smal cuz shes cute.  pictures of her are surprisingly hard to find :'(

and jane ill spare you, ginny doesn't look grown up enough yet, another disappointment.  only in my head is she grown up and you know... but she does have the makings of another violet :)

i drove today
it was the first time i enjoyed driving because it was the first time i was drivng BYMYSELF.  i was driving with my dad in the u-haul truck and we had to return it and we had to rent a normal car.  anyways it was complicated but the end result was a situation in which my dad had to drive the uhaul and i had to drive the rental car in order to do eveyrthing we had to do in the alotted time.  i thought my first time behind the wheel in a year would be in like a parking lot with an adult.  but no it was drivin through tahoe alone.  and it was fun, i got to turn up the ataris as loud as i wanted.

now for jon the artist

woohoo!

im in tahoe again! i say again because i was in tahoe 2 or 3 weeks previously. last trip, we painted walls and this trip we are furnishing with modern day conveniencesS!

im having difficulty with the fact that our "cabin" up here in the mountains is better furnished than any other house we've stayed in. yesterday we bought a big, flat screen tv and a FANTASTIC stereo system, complete with 5 satellite speakers and a subwoofer. a subwoofer! can you believe that? woof!

the ride up here was no fun tho, we rented a big uhaul truck. its deceiving right, you see this big truck and you assume it must have lots of space! because its so big! but the cab is this tiny cramped space where three of us had to fit. and the radio didn't even have a tape deck. it was a big black box with four large, round buttons that said 1, 2, 3, 4. minus the commmas. it looked like one of those "big note" music books for the blind and stupid. anyways i slept. zz.

my laptop is heating my bed. i dont want my bed heated... ill sweat when i finally go to sleep :(

a dog ran into our yard today.

i found some rubber hosing in the shed today.

we have mosquitos breeding in our junky pool.

my bed has a mattress now.

...these are today's other highlights! oh yes im having fun.. just me and nature... and the hosing and bed.

  ive been looking at my school a lot recently, i figure its about time i learn something about it ya?

my mascot is an ugly elephant :(

i found out a whole mess of stuff about my dorm. evidently it is some sort of coveted dorm on campus, even though it doesn't seem so great to me. ive been searching for a picture of it because the floorplan makes it look like a big 5-story rectangle... so after two days azhani finds a picture of it for me. lucky me, it looks like a large prison from the outside too. i like prison! =D

i went to the library to borrow 8 cds and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. i burned all the cds already so im gonna go return them tomorrow i think. i got chick corea's elektric band "to the stars" which is actually really cool. i think i was just attracted to the shiny cd jacket. and i read HP today so i had a good day! its such a good book. im noticing all sorts of neato stuff that i never ever noticed the first couple of times through. cayley, mundungus showed up in this book, not the first one. and i like ginny so much more now. and shes in this book so much! yippee

i bought a shirt at salvation army today that is black and it says "Fear No Food! Support Your Local Farms"

i found the perfect way for me to meet my future partner!  =D  ill never be lonely again

its lavelife.com and you can meet people online! and then date them!  and they can post their picture so that you can see if you like looking at them... its the perfect system.  you can weed out the ugly ones you dont wanna look at and everything.  ugly means unnaturally bushy eyebrows.  im not that shallow!  sheesh.  just imagine the possibilities tho, all the fascinating people ill be able to meet... before even coming face to face!  undoubtedly it is the best way to date.  sign me up!

i want this for my wall

ah embaressing story

so today's concert was the charles mcpherson group.  drummer was the world-world-famous carl allen.  seriously... this is top notch drummer in the world, don't mess with him.  and if he speaks to you it is an enormous honor, he is that kind of big-time musician.  so anyways, first set (out of 2 sets, intermission inbetween) i fall asleep after the first song... i take a one hour nap in the audience in the 4th row from the front.

intermission:  carl allen walks right up to me, "did you enjoy your nap?"

omgggg. second set , he keeps looking at me to make sure im staying awake.  eekkk.

sorry!

band camp!   
11:19pm 02/08/2005
 
mood: calm
music: Becker Theme- cuz becker's on tv
band camp started on saturdayyyyy

its not the same without rusty and dave, so you know. ive made friends with a few of these extremely talented musicians... they're actually really cool people tho, its cool. not the same experience tho, by far.

theres been really good concerts every night tho, last night there were two phenomenal singers... one of them was a singer/pianist... it was so good. to be honest tho there could be too much music. thanks to my new friends, they dont talk about anything but music. and not your normal "music talk." nothing like "what is ur favorite band" or "look, im not listening to jazz!" no no no. they discuss jazz theory and advanced scale technique. they discuss it like they're talking about the new restaurant in town, sickening!

lucky tho, theres one girl named karen who's been playing the sax for 1.5 yrs, total beginner. shes from hong kong. and thank god i can just hang out with her and talk about things that aren't related to music. and i can make fun of all the other campers with her. its refreshing, its the best i have here. :P

on a slightly unrelated note, theres this really ugly trombone player. hes really tall and thin and it looks like his eyebrows cover the entire front of his face. i hate looking at him, the sight of him bugs me. and he always looks like hes mad. and becuase of his eyebrows, its stupid-mad. can't look at him...

keep my secret, buddy. hope you are well. heehee.
