they're heeeeere...

i rolled into b/n around 8:30 this morning, and upon leaving my car heard a trumpet warming up, on painfully high notes, and fracking each and every one of them. then i realized...the Bands of America kids are in town.

campus is, i'm guessing, going to be nuts for awhile.

i was supposed to go camping this weekend, but seeing as i am not quite halfway through with my 16 day, 20 book class (ouch), i'm confined to my apartment where all i do is read like a nerd on crack. however, this means i can sneak over and check out the drum corps when they are here on friday. and since i am walking distance from the stadium, i don't have to worry about driving or parking! how exciting.

i saw nacho libre friday night...it was cute. i can't say it was amazing, but it was pretty darn funny. the music was interesting however - as most of it was done by jack black, danny elfman, or...beck. sunday i went to a bridal shower for my neighbor, and not only saw (and recognized) a girl i haven't seen since i was a sophomore in high school, but i remembered her name AND what she played in marching band. which might have freaked her out a bit, as she only vaguely remembered me.

books i've read in the last few days: (and thus the reason i update once or twice a week): the outsiders, house on mango street, daddy long legs, i am morgan le fay, wren to the rescue, wizard of earthsea, 4 fantastic novels, and anne of green gables. granted, this is an adolescent literature class, so the books aren't particularly long or taxing...but still. its a lot of books. and there are 12 left to go. erk.
