Today

So, today was Thursday. It was a good day, I have to say. I had sushi for the first time today. And you know, it wasn't that bad. It was just hard getting used to the texture of it, and stuff like that. But overall, I thought it would have been a lot worse. We had this band social where we ate Japanese food. It was fun, I got to talk to some people, especially the other trombone players. I learned that Brad, the section leader, is a big Star Wars fan, so that brought warm feelings to my heart (Yoda, Episode II). It is now only 26 days until Revenge of the Sith, and man, it is going to rock. I can feel it. Anyways, as I write this, I'm wearing my Jedi cloak. I talked to the guy who made it yesterday. He's really a nice guy, I hope I can continue to correspond with him. Eventually, I'll have to get some belt pouches from him for the costume. He's at C3 right now, with his wife. They're going to the convention together, Jedi on Friday, and Sith on Saturday. Man, I hope my wife will do that with me. That would rock. Anyways, I had a trombone lesson today. If you don't know, I have a problem with heat. My favorite season is winter, I like the cold, it doesn't bother me, heat does. I'm not going to lie, I sweat a little bit. It's kind of gross, but what do you do? Anyways, I read quartets with two other guys and my teacher in his office today. It was seriously like, 90 degrees in there. I wanted to die. After my lesson, I just felt disgusting, I felt as if I could almost peel the disgustingness off my skin. Oh well, it happens I guess. My teacher expressed more joy at my progress, so that was good to hear. I hope I will be able to keep on with a steady increase in skill. I have a feeling I will be quite busy the rest of my college career. Oh well. Jacob is coming over tomorrow afternoon to watch some Star Wars with me, and Ben and I are going to watch a movie at night. Maybe Episode IV, I don't know. Once again, still bummed that I'm missing C3. I saw some photos of it today, and it looked so awesome. They had about 6 people from the French garrison of the 501st legion. If you don't know, the 501st is a Star Wars costuming club devoted to stormtroopers, clone troopers, Imperial officers, and the like. And there are like, a million of them, it's pretty insane. So anyways, I posted this photo of these French guys in stormtrooper armor and other Imperial costumes, holding up their banner, and a French tricolor. I liked it. I'm going to join the Rebel Legion, which is a "light side" costuming club, with my Jedi costume. I just need a decent photo, and Dave is going to photoshop in a lightsaber blade. So, I'll take care of that this spring. It's about 14 minutes into Friday now. Man, it'll be nice to be done with class, and just relax for a while. And sleep. Good times. Anyways, I'm out, and MTFBWY.
