Cello Journey #17, Halloween Episode: Popper Gnomentanz

"This is a special Halloween episode of Cello Journey. Me and Ross play the Gnomentanz (Dance of The Gnomes) by David Popper. It is a somewhat menacing and spooky piece with a happy major section in the middle. Happy Halloween!"

Playing a Gnome song for halloween....coincidence? I think not. Der Gnomentanz.

ARUUUUGH

As per Maria's instruction I shall fiendishly blog. LoL This morning was supposed to be an awesome morning to spend Breakfast with Maria, and to cross off a "to do" on my list...Well the breakfast was good.... So Maria came over and we had breakfast and chatted :) Good "sunday morning" talk, just on a saturday morning :) Then she went to go put on her face and I was going to take 36 pictures of her magnificant face hoping that 1 or 2 shots would actually do her justice.

As I was doing this, I thought something might have been a little wrong, but it was morning and I was in denial. :( So at the end of the roll which coincided with Maria finishing putting on her make-up, I pushed the release button and then began to rewind the film...only to find that I just rewound the tail end...Which means that I just sealed an unused roll of film. :( lame.

I hadn't loaded a roll of film on in a while and I guess I wasn't thinking and while I tucked the end of the film into the side, I didn't lock the film onto the sprockets so it just fell off and I was winding nothing. :(

But as Maria's mug said this morning, "Shiitake Happens."

And so life goes on, I went to Wolf Camera, bought another $6 roll and also some negative sleeve protectors cause I needed those and then went home to load the roll of film on properly. Maybe I'll take some of my family, and of Maria and hopefully get it done by monday so I can develop monday night :)

Thank goodness for my friends and family, without them, I'd be the Anti-Scientology guy screaming at the top of my lungs red faced, balding, and veins popping out of my head. So thank you all. :)

Sometimes it's like staring into a pool and wanting to jump in, but knowing you can't swim. Staring at its beauty, shimmering and watching the reflections of light dancing on the surface, still knowing should you enter it'll be your death.


What if there is no one? What if you live your whole life and no one is waiting? ...I have to learn to live the life that I have got.

Long time no chat

Uhm. not much has gone on...I have SO much to say...and nothing to say at all. I'm way more into hockey...for the first time since the "Labor dispute" arugh. It's something to look forward to :) ...when they win LoL Tonight...not such a night. but you gotta take the good with the bad...apparently it's the facts of life. ;)

School has been going as well as possible...in fact a WHOLE lot better than last year. I'm not saying it's not tough and a pain in the butt sometimes, but it's a lot more balanced. Last semister I felt like I was about to die after the first 3 weeks or so...there's been slight ups and downs...but everything's been pretty reasonable.

Pretty crazy 2 weeks have passed though...and I think that's enough about that...hopefully there will be less excitment around the house..I have been very cranky for the past two weeks too...I hope that'll pass cause it's stressful on me too. but damn....i pinch. i want to pinch. a little pinch?

I have two fatty zits on my forehead leading me to look like a unicorn...or a rhinocerous. I got to help move a tortoise at the zoo last week...geez those are heavy mofos. and they made cool noises. Things have been going good.
