Buddy

So, my mom bought my dog a Darth Vader costume. And then she took him for a walk in it. When I go home next weekend, I'm going to take a photo of myself in my Jedi robe and my dog in his Darth Vader costume. I almost get teary eyed just thinking of it. Here's a photo of my dog, for your viewing pleasure. I know, he's pretty geeky. But ridiculously awesome as well. Plus another band photo. Actually, the band photo didn't work too hot. Sorry. Anyways, one of my good friends from home who has had a somewhat tumultuous relationship past has finally found a guy who treats her right. Or so I gather. So, I rejoice in that. I also talked with Kathleen today, which was very fulfilling to me. I invited her to the trombone choir concert tonight. She didn't come, but I mean really, who does want to hear 25 trombones? Anyways, it was just good to make more contact with her. Man, she is beautiful. I saw her at lunch. I was eating with Michael, but after I finished, I walked over and had some conversation. Small steps. I also worked out today, which was personally fulfilling. A stationary bike is nothing like a real bike, but you make do. I'll be quite pained in the morning though. I played an absolutely horrendous solo tonight in jazz band. It made me want to throw up. Seriously, it was bad. Then I missed an A flat at the trombone choir concert tonight. I was really angered, because I had no reason to miss it. And if I want people to take me seriously as a musician, I have to stop making dumb mistakes. Last night, I watched this documentary on the Episode III DVD. It was really interesting, it shows everything that went into making one minute of the Mustafar duel. Let's just say, a lot of work went into it. Tonight I was practicing my solo, and it was sounding good. Especially after my less than stellar showing in jazz band and trombone choir. I'm going to attempt to win a vintage 1960's King 3B trombone off eBay. Everyone wish me luck. If I win it, I will be very happy. Especially at Christmas, when I'll actually be able to play it. Anyways, I hope everyone is doing well. I am. .
