When I Ought to be Doing Homework...

So, I'm laying in bed, staring at the class diagram homework assignment I ought to have finished (or at least begun) by now. Class is at 10:30AM, a whopping 4.5 hours away! And so this is, logically, the perfect time to revive my blog.

Not that I have anything particularly interesting to say...hmmm...

I have decided to actually, legitimately, faithfully rejuvenate my piano-playing skills. It's been far too long, I've been far too lazy, and volunteering to accompany for auditions, play in Nav Nite worship, and possibly play in the Nav talent show in the spring basically requires me to get off my patooty and practice.

And I've missed it. I'd forgotten how much joy there is in making music, and making it well.

Getting off at the station and boarding a completely different train of thought, I've decided that Alarie is the Converse queen. Tie-dye chucks, Sparky chucks...perhaps one day I'll see them all, but she definitely gets the award for having the most massive and most eclectic collection.

Mentioning Alarie naturally reminds me of long boards and how I need to practice and get better at not falling off. And practicing a skill could bring me full circle and remind me of piano again, but I'll take a detour for now and focus instead of how I need to practice driving manual. I LOVE DRIVING STICK! Perhaps this is in part because I learned on a classy sports car and in part because I had an extremely patient instructor, but the fact still remains that I love it. I just don't love parking lots...or people who get to close behind you at stoplights.

Jumping off that train and into the tall grass along the tracks...

I need to hike more. Getting only halfway up Camelback is unacceptable.

I need to spend more time playing pool...and bowling.

Oh, and practicing throwing a Frisbee straight would be a good idea, too.

I need to stop having dreams that are REALLY hard to leave in the morning.

And I need to read more, spend less money on food, and invest in some good business garb. It is my major after all.

Well, this has been exciting. And now, off to finish my homework.
