I would just like to say: Go Red Sox!

So, I'm not a baseball fan at all (I went to a Red Sox game once, but only to try Fenway Park's Hot Dogs), but living in Boston, I can't help but be somewhat interested in the Red Sox's fate. Yesterday, I found myself watching the last inning of the game in Lindy's kitchen with Vikki, Sarah, Brett, and Jacque, and a pint of ice cream. I'm interested in whether the Red Sox will win and prove to everyone that curses are never valid. Even ones (or especially ones) made by a famous angry Yankee 70 years ago.

The newest pack of notebook paper I opened has many mutant pages. One, I found, had the blue lines diagonally stretched across it. I pulled the next one out, and it had no lines on the front. The next one I pulled out, to my dismay, had no lines on the back.

As of next week, I will join the ranks of the few, the tenor-clef reading string players. . . the violists. I wanted to join the chamber music society at school, but I didn't make the auditions. It was too late to try out for MITSO again, and I really wanted to be playing with a smaller group. So my old stand partner told me to try out for the chamber orchestra.


I met up with Dante and he showed me the situation: a full violin section, and 2 or 3 violists. He said he'd lend me a viola, and give me lessons. . . I know there's a stereotype about bad violinists becoming violists to get into orchestras. . . and even more jokes about bad violists. . . But I'm actually excited about having a C string ^_^.

Birthdays are yay! My friends and I have concluded that Fall semester is much happier because there are so many more birthdays among us and we have the excuse to celebrate and hang out together ^^.





Vikki's birthday was in September, and we went to Blue Fin to celebrate. I'm lame, so I've only gotten around to putting up the pictures now:





(um, so yeah. I'm not the best picture taker ^^;)


September was also the time of the Great Glass Pumpkin Sale. I've never been able to wake up early enough to go, but I made it this year. Most of the pumkins were way out of my price range, but I had lots of fun snapping pictures of them in colorful, happy clusters.





Sarah's birthday will be this Thursday, so happy birthday to her!


I have watched up until the very last subbed episode of Naruto, a first for me. Woe is I that I decided Naruto was the first anime I would watch to the end. (Must go unearth the picture I drew of Kakasi-sensee playing the cello). I've gained a new appreciation for several of the characters that had previously escaped my attention--- Choji (bug boy) is really cool and acts much more maturely than any of the other genin. . . Iruka-sensee takes really good care of the little kiddies at Ninja school. . . And Sasuke is less dislikeable after the little flashback into his childhood (everyone's cute as a kid!).
