New Developments

1. I had an audition today for a solo part in a piece we are playing in Brass Choir, and I won! That means that I will be playing a solo cadenza on the Brass Choir concert later in the semester. The piece is Fanfares Liturgiques by Henri Tomasi.

2. Journey is playing a concert in Houston this Friday, the 23rd. I am extremely tempted to go, or at least to try to get tickets. This may very well be my one and only chance in this lifetime to hear such classics as "Faithfully," "Open Arms," and "Don't Stop Believin" performed live. I'm listening to Journey right now, in fact. And singing along. Loudly.

3. I was finally able to beat level 2 of Q-Bert recently, which meant that I reached level 3 for the first time ever. And it's damn hard. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to stop playing this game.

4. The Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, which used to round out the famous dollar menu at Wendy's, now goes for a steep $1.29. I want to know who is responsible for this price hike. Seriously, that's not cool. Next thing you know, one precious Jr. will cost more than a gallon of gas. If only the gas was as delicious (trust me, it's not).

5.
Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours...

Faithfully.

Truer words were never spoken. Let alone screamed in high tenor range. Oh, Journey, how I love thee.
