OK you know I love the wizard. I can quote the movie front and back. But there was one thing I didn't know about it until this week when I read it on imdb.com. And here it is.


TOBEY MAGUIRE IS IN IT AND HE HAS A MULLET!!!!!

That is correct!!! That is freakin' hilarious in my book. This was like his first role. So that makes more famous people starring in a movie most people think is cheesy but awesomely nostalgic. I mean we have Fred Savage at the height of his stardom, Beau Bridges playing another role as a dad, and Christian Slater AND NOW Tobey Maguire before they became big stars. Who would have thought Tobey Maguire would be the biggest star of them all today?

I have one thing to say.

Dustin is weird. ;)

OK maybe I have a bit more to say. Like I can't seem to focus on reading. Granted the book is boring as heck. Child development. I can't seem to concentrate. Could I be pregnant? Dude what a coincidence.

Also my class is so weird this year because Some days I start at 9, some at 10, and some not until 11. So my sleep is all screwed up, especially after waking up early for work the last two months. That I needed to work at 7:30 for music camps at GB really screwed up my sleep metabolism and now I have such a hard time going back to sleep if I wake up at like 7 or 7:30.

Tonight we had a fire drill. At least it wasn't at like 6 in the morning like it was once for a tornado drill, or when Jason Fairfield woke up the entire dorm to yell at us about smoking pot (that was freshman year in Mills, the all guy dorm for those of you who don't know millikin and didn't read my archives.) OR at least it wasn't 20 below (overexcaggerating slightly but it still was like close to below freezing at least) like it was last year. when I was in shorts. and a t shirt.

My audition for Chamber is tomorrow, and I'm fairly confident it will go well. I hope it does. I really want to be in a choir that is committed, not only to creating great music but also committed to all rehearsals and activities, and is going to tour. UChoir just didn't work out.

Oh I forgot about my audtion yesterday for Vocal Jazz. Dr Holmes is teaching OneVoice this year so the audtion was weird. OK the song was fine, but the scat wasn't. When Wiedenhoffer did it he played an upbeat chorded beat pattern (although then some of hte chords were kind of hard to pick out since they were so dissenent). Dr Holmes however doesn't play the piano as well as Dr. Wiedenhoffer. All Dr. Holmes did was plunk out a medium pased bass line. Which is REEEEEEALLY hard to scat to. All in all I think I did OK, but I doubt I will be in OneVoice since it's so small and they already have Ian and Chris who were in it last year as tenors so..... you know...... I wouldn't mind being in Vocal Jazz Company again except that I was in it the last two years, and I think I am ready for something a little more challenging jazzwise. So if I don't get in it I may try out for Tudor Voices. But I still don't know.

OK that's about it except now FINALLY my space is ALL ORGANIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Dustins is TOOOOOOOOOOO! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY.

Well that was weird.

OK Tuesday, my internet stops working. So I go to the lab and email the annoucements if anyone elses was working. Turns out my network access was blocked because of the Welchia virus (WHICH, PARDON MY FRENCH, SUCKS MORE ASS THAN THE BLASTER VIRUS). So I went to AT and got the disk and cleaned it and they said my internet access would be restored within 15 minutes. So I go home and wait. and wait. and wait. Still no dice. So I called them and went to bed internetless. Which made me sad.

Wednesday morning. I got a call from the head AT guy and he was coming over. So that afternoon he looked it over and thought maybe my ethernet card had died because the light didnt' even go on and nothing was working. So I took it to AT to be replaced.

About an hour later, I get back and they said my ethernet card worked fine. I take this back and it worked fine, except AIM didn't work. So I updated that along with Windows Update, and AIM worked fine until I tried to start a chat and it didn't work. Someone else started it, and invited me but it didn't work. A third person did and it did.

And to top it all off, the internet is still kind of slow. But basically that's the end of my day minus internet and I hated it.

Well I have resolved my problem with the 14 credit problem.

I have emailed Jeremy Brunk about taking Intermediate Composition instead of Beginning, and that may up me to 2 credits. It said one or two but I don't know how that works.

I am going to take Orchestra/Instrementalization. That is 2 credits. I figure hey if the chance arises where I may conduct an orchestra I'd like to be able to read scores or something like that. Or compose a symphony, like I have started to do. It's about 8 measures done with violin, viola, and cello. Maybe it will be done by the end of the year or something!

I am also going to be taking either Vocal Jazz or Tudor Voices, which is 1 credit.

So, I will end up with 17 or 18 credits. Which is more respectable.

----------

OK on to other news. I left my backpack at home. AHHH. Especially to mom. So she is mailing it to me.

IV party was awesome. Ultimate frisbee is tomorrow! I got an IV shirt FINALLY! YAYAYAYAYAYAY.

Um ok I think that's it. Oh yeah there are these stars on my ceiling that the guy before left so that's weird. Ok bye.

I'm back at Millikin and I'm really tired.

Well, this is it. My last day in Wisconsin. I should have stopped by Pellitier's one more time before I left but I didn't and I'm going to spend some time with Great Grandma. But tomorrow I go to school WITH MY CAR!!!!! Thank you GOD. So tonight and tomorrow are going to be hell, since tonight we tear down everything and tomorrow I have a long day of driving. Fun fun fun. But hey. At least it's not going to be like last year where we had to move 3498 ton risers in and out.

My time up here in Door County actually went pretty quickly. But I'm REALLY excited to get back to school and see everyone. Cory, Clayton, Jacob, Steph, Garrett, Jenny, Bobby, Becky, Dustin, and all of my other friends. I have missed them SO MUCH. It's so weird. Last year I didn't feel this "school-sick."

Well, last night I tried wine at the party and didn't really like it. Tonight I tried Leiny's beer and it was OK. Not a big beer fan. I like this though. Because Sharon doesn't give a shit that I'm not 21 yet (or because maybe she's OK with it because I"m close enough and NEED to try some alcoholic beverages so I have somewhat of a social life), I can drink alcoholic drinks and not have to worry about being carded. Not that it matters because I don't really like anything alcoholic yet. Except for hard lemonade and Skyy Blue.

Another reason I feel slightly left out is because the majority of my firends have apartments and I don't. Although my plan is to have one next year, as well as get a cell. Now that I'm bringing my car down to school a cell isn't a bad idea for me anymore. I wouldn't mind getting one. It doesn't have to be right away. If I do get one, it will probably be from decatur because I'm there the majority of the time anyway.

I seriously totally feel left out of the loop at Millikin. Because so many people I know are already there in apartments or houses or dorms. And I'm not going to see them for 5 more days. WAH. I MISS MY FRIENDS. I never thought I'd say this but I serioulsy miss Decatur. It is too weird.

I'm home for the day yesterday and for the morning today so I"m going to be leaving to go back within the next couple of hours. I had to be here to shop and pack for school and I got most of that done.

Sad

So I'm semi-dissapointed but hey I"m going to be in a commited group and that is all I wanted. Unfortunately all my friends are in UChoir, but hey we sing hard music. SO I'm happy. Hope Dr. Forbes picks some Eric Whitacre :)

Just checking something because nothing shows up when I wanna read my blog

Oh and I am eating solid food again. Thank God. I am not eating Jello for at least 3 months.

I have a new favorite song and it's Move Your Feet By Junior Senior. It's so addicted I can't stop listening to it! And what's awesome the guy singing IS NOT MICHAEL JACKSON BUT HE SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE IT. And the video is so weird it's sweet. So, I have decided the next album I'm gonna buy is this:

And get it before I go back to school

The surgery went well. I don't remember the actual act, they put me to sleep. I didn't even feel the shot, they froze my arm. That is really nice. I think everyone should do that. I mean, they put freezing cold water on the vein and give you the shot you don't even feel it. Then the last thing I remember, they are like "How are you feeling" and i"M like "I'm still up." I was up for another minute, and the next thing I remember I wake up with gauze on my mouth and stuff and they wheeled me out of the place. I t was really hard to get up. And I peed my pants but you are asleep I didn't even realize I did that until I went home. Kind of embarassing but I"m sure it's normal. And my mouth bled but it stopped before I went to sleep. It doesn't hurt as much as I thought but it's a dull pain. Dull continuous pain sucks. And I can't eat hard stuff yet, but I got me all this pudding, jello, popsicles, meal shakes, etc. So I should be allright.

Tomb raider was cool. I told the popcorn guy to put tons of butter on because it was my last night of solid food for a while. I mean I"m not going to be eating popcorn for a while. SO I thought I'd make it GOOD. It was. THe movie was all right. The first one was better. The next night a guy that my dad played in the band Worlds with came over and I don't rmember him because the last time I saw him I was probably 4. So it was cool but also kind of embarrasing because I had bloody gauze in my mouth. I was still disoriented a little last night. I left bloody tissues on the counter and mom is like "SPENCE!" And other crap. I watched Shanghai Knights. It was good but the first one was better. And I bought rush hour 2. I guess I'm in my Jackie Chan mode for the time being.

I have to start packing for door county today. I hope I"m recovered enough.
