It's a twister, it's a twister! (/Airplane)

Good golly it's windy. Driving home tonight felt like being a puck on an air hockey table. It was crazy.

Music and school in general are going really well. Wind Ensemble tonight was fabulous. I love playing 1st oboe- it really is all about you.

I feel like I should write more, since I haven't written in a few days. But not much is new. I've been out doing things and seeing people, which is great because people are awesome. I've been spending too much money doing so, though. I need to go back to "let's watch a movie at home" or "I could bring stuff to make sandwiches" instead of going to the theatres and restaurants all the time. Haha.

Look at my interests and tell me:

1. 3 (or more) interests that we have in common.
2. 3 (or more) interests that we really don't share.
3. 3 (or more) interests that you don't understand and need explanations for.

-There's this prescription diet pill that might be approved for over-the-counter use.
-Hillary bashes Bush about his health care policies.
-I like how CNN.com put this: "Following the deaths of 14 West Virginia miners in less than three weeks, state lawmakers on Monday approved legislation aimed at improving the chances of survival for miners trapped underground." You think?

That is really cool that we both like cookie dough ice cream;-) Have you ever read Flowers for Algernon? It's really good:)

Amy Fram is my sister. She's freaking awesome and I love her. I should add my other sister, though, now that you mention it;-)

Bedlam was a class original play we did in Drama last year- the class all turned in ideas, a writing staff of about 12 people in the class wrote it, and created at least a medium size part for nearly all of the class' 50 or so students. It was terrific. (I think it was a murder mystery comedy, although the plot wasn't all that important.)

Winged Victory is this really awesome Greek statue at the Louvre in Paris. It's literally the only statue that I LOVE.

And Playswith Squirrels is...okay, I don't know if you've ever seen Boy Meets World? The main character is Cory, and the people in his life: his mom, dad, brother Eric (think Joey- the intelligence factor), best friend Shawn (think Joey- the girls factor), girlfriend Topanga (think Ross and Rachel, if Rachel were a less ditzy version of Phoebe). So there's this episode where the whole gang is about to break up after college and they're all going their separate ways, and they flash forward to ten years in the future. And Eric is this really philosophical nomad type person who's been living in the woods and he's grown this crazy long beard, and he's written a HUGE book on the meaning of life. There's this big fuss because I think he won't let people read it, or something, but then finally he does and there's only one sentence: Lose one friend, lose all friends, lose hope. Or something like that:-p

I've never read Flowers for Algernon... maybe I shouldn't have put it in things I dislike, since I haven't even read it... hehe, like my mother always says: don't say you don't like it till you've tried it!

I think it's so sweet that you have your sister in there!

I watched Boy Meets World, not religiously, but I did. So, playswith Squirrels was what? the title of the book?

January 24 2006, 19:52:50 UTC 6 years ago

lol, that's funny what your mom says- I usually hear, "Don't knock it 'til you've tried it!" but her way sounds pretty wise too!

:-D Playswith Squirrels was Eric's "Indian" name. Sorry I didn't explain that part better!

lol, no, but wouldn't that be cool? I just stuck it in one of those online translators.

oh, makes more sense! I was dumbfounded by the fact that you could speak Russian and I had never known

1. flowers for algernon, laughing, music, musicals
2. fiddler on the roof, roast beef sandwiches, shakespeare
3. giverny, la risa, the missing sock (does it simply mean a missing sock? I can't figure out of it's like the name of a movie or something lol)

Also, William Faulker's name sounds SO familiar...is he a composer?

[info]frayedges

January 25 2006, 06:23:39 UTC 6 years ago

lol, no, it simply means the missing sock. Like when you do the laundry and you've always lost at least one sock. la risa is Spanish for "the laughter" and I just really think it's a pretty word to describe what it is. And Giverny is where Monet lived and it's FREAKING BEAUTIFUL. If you've seen his paintings of waterlilies, his model was his garden, and once you've been you realize why the paintings were so beautiful- it's because any representation of that place would have to be.

These are the two images I found that do it the most justice...

Oh, and William Faulkner is an author. He wrote As I Lay Dying and Sound and Fury. And YAY for Flowers for Algernon:)

[info]originalsoulman

January 25 2006, 05:33:24 UTC 6 years ago

1.) Music, Amy Fram, Roast Beef Sandwiches

2.) The Missing Sock, Making Flower Wreathes, Rufio

3.) Forked fs, Giverny, Sixteenth Notes (so hard!)

And I withdraw the Missing Sock if it is a movie or something. I don't have most of these interests (or any of them) listed on my page. But I'll add the ones we have in common.

[info]frayedges

January 25 2006, 06:28:06 UTC 6 years ago

:-) Amy Fram is darned cool.

-Forked F's are something that you have to do on the oboe...the regular fingering for F won't work if you have to go to a D next, so you have to use a forked one. I'll show you it sometime, because it's much more easily explained with an oboe as an illustration.
-Giverny is where Monet lived. It's GORGEOUS. It's the most peaceful place I've ever been.
http://stevefazzio.com/images/favorite_pictures/giverny.jpg
and
http://www.bascharage.lu/informations/Monet/Images/Giverny.jpg
are a decent representation of it, but there's nothing like being there in person.
-And sixteenth notes are fun! I think whole notes are much harder, because they're more exposed. *nod*

[info]originalsoulman

January 26 2006, 02:29:44 UTC 6 years ago

I think the difference is in the instruments we play. For instance, for me to play a whole note, all I have to do is pull the string with my right hand and hold it down with my left (sometimes I can even use the open string); whereas, you must keep a steady constant breath. Then we come to sixteenth notes. I'm still learning to coordinate my fingers that fast. I don't know how hard it is to play them through an oboe, but they are pretty tough on a bass. Of course, I've only been playing two years, and I'm still learning. Plus, they're harder to sight read.

Amy Fram is definitely darned cool.*nod back*

[info]frayedges

January 26 2006, 06:04:46 UTC 6 years ago

Oh, right, I forgot how easy whole notes must be for you! I was pondering them when I wrote it, but I figured even string instruments must be hard to play them on, thinking of the violin and the necessary vibrato control. I guess not so for you!

I have a really cool book of exercises that use exclusively triplets and sixteenth notes. I should Xerox a few pages for you;-)

[info]originalsoulman

January 26 2006, 06:26:19 UTC 6 years ago

That would be so AWESOME of you! Triplets are a bit difficult for me too. *nod* *sink* *nudge* *poke*
