largely harp-related, sorry those who don't care

Ngh. I have to do nightmarish geography maps sometime before Friday, probably mostly tonight. Then I have to do everything assigned for the weekend on Thursday night (some feat, since it won't be assigned until Friday) because I am going to spend the weekend in College Station being a complete and total dork. I am going to Aggiecon. A sci-fi convention. For the second year in a row. Oh god, I really am that big of a loser.

And then immediately on Monday I have to get re-ahead, because on Tuesday I have the stupid wind ensemble concert (anyone who wants to see me do basically nothing onstage, you're welcome to come) and (hurrah hurrah) Kate's senior recital!

Kate is a harpist friend of mine; we study with the same teacher; we've been studying since about the same age; we tend to play the same sort of music. The only difference is that she's much, much better than me. And I'm going to her senior recital next week; it should be quite a show. The ensemble will not be the same without her. Also I'll have to either do solo gigs or train up little timid Sarah, who plays very well but with a tendency toward extreme quiet. Urgh, I hate solo gigs. Training up of Sarah it is, then. It's about time she started gigging anyway. Kate and I did our first duo job when I was eleven, and Sarah's fifteen now. God, I feel like the Old Master or something. This is ridiculous.

Speaking of nightmarish harp-related stuff, I have to go practice until I raise blisters. Urgh.

But first! A random question: what's the weather like elsewhere than Houston?

eh? You consider yourself a loser because you have gone to a scifi convention two years in a row? This does not make you a loser! Indeed, you may say you are not hungry, but yet you are cassually eating seconds in front of a starving dog. Woof. Kansas never has conventions.

::looks outside:: the weather? It's on the worse half of paradise and heading the wrong way. Yesterday and the days before were beautiful. Today is in the 30's and 40's. Not too cold, but not exactly warm.

Aah... today was much better. Keep in mind that it was still in the mid 40's, but there was little to no wind, as opposed to a blustery yesterday. So, yeah. Stay out a long time, and your fingers will get a bit numb, but other than that, the perfect day. Combined with recuperating health, I was able to play with my sticks in the backyard today. Wahoo. Been too long...
