Rogue Idea

and i am at home. yeah well i was planning to go out with chau today but then i got the shaft and ended up at home because no one decides to tell me that they all made plans and were depending on me to stay home and watch the baby. so i was pretty pissed last night because of that especially because i hardly ever make plans and i finally felt like going out. well i guess i’ll spend today finally cleaning my room.  lets take a look at how bad it is right now.  okay actually this is not that bad compared to other times i’ve seen it, but its still pretty bad.  now, the good thing is this is all clean clothes.  its just that i put them on and then decide not to wear them and then they go wherever.  and i just did more laundry yesterday so i really need to put all this up so that it doesnt just keep piling up all over the place.

another thing is.  my frank and yvette site.  has CRASHED AND BURNED. basically after i switched servers like months ago i had lot of broken link problems (mainly due to just forgetting to upload the pictures, lol)  but then i uploaded them and then like..i moved them around for some reason. so yeah today im gonna fix all of that crap and get the whole thing over with.
speaking of getting things over with i FINALLY ordered my marching band show on video tape the other day. that feels SO good.  basically i didnt order it when i was in highschool because i didnt have the money to (its like 50 - 130 dollars for TAPES of marching bands) now granted now they do them on dvd or tape and you have the option but for my year it was only video tape.  so before i didnt have the money to buy and it had always bugged me because i really wanted it on tape and i could not find it anywhere online no matter where i looked or who i called.  well finally last month i found this website that does the recording for these contests and i contacted them, they said they only had the prelims left for my year.  i kind of thought about it for a while because i really really wanted the finals show but then the other day i just called and ordered it and got it over with.  i got the tapes in the mail yesterday (very fast, i ordered like on wednesday morning).  well i found the show and watched it and lets just say now i’m very happy i bought the damn tape, lol.  even though i know that the show looked a tiny bit sharper in the finals this was sufficient enough for me i guess.  its comes on two tapes and the quality is really really good so yeah even though its a complete rip off i’m glad i bought it finally.

well my grades are starting to roll in online and im pretty pissed because i shouldve had at least a 3.66 in organic but i got a notch lower.   in the lab i made a 4.0 though, which im suprised of because every semester they only give out two 4.0’s per class and lets just say competition is like….really f-ing crazy in there.  well those are the only two grades i’ve gotten so far but i’m waiting for genetics, biochemistry and history to give me my grade.  i’m thinking history will probably be last because it was three essays per person and theres about 400 people in that class and only three TA’s that grade. thats the only thing i hate about essay tests is that it takes so damn long to get back.

so final exams are over and christmas is almost here.  i have no clue what i want for christmas yet.  i know that sounds weird cause usually people asking what OTHERs want or are thinking of what theyll get other people for christmas.  i just shop for myself and a few other people.  this year i really want a digital piano.  i was gonna get a keyboard but i talked to a friend last night and i agree with him that its better to just buy a digital piano.  and when i look at the price differences its really not all that much more and i’ll be MUCH more satisfied.  right now i’m practicing using this CASIO keyboard which is the oldest thing ever its my little cousins.  she got an upright piano afterwards so this was stashed away until last year when i borrowed to practice on for my little piano class.  but seriously, it makes me want to kill myself.  not that its a not a nice keyboard.  cause its a nice keyboard.  but thats exactly what it is, a KEYBOARD.  keys.  on a board.  those two things do NOT add up anywhere near a real piano.   now keyboards in the past decade or so have become way sophisticated and have all sorts of things to help better simulate a real piano feel.  those are incredibly expensive and a digital piano is really only a little bit more.

basically i was looking for three things in a new keyboard last night : 1. it has to be decent looking.  i know this has nothing to do with actual piano playing, but who wants to play on an ugly piano?  2.  it has to be able to do dynamics because i am so sick and tired of playing in monotone.  3.  at least ’some’ resonance.  so i know the last two were gonna cost me quite a lot, and they did when i was surfing for one last night.  so i took my friend’s advice and decided to get a digital piano.  now its just..am i really gonna get it?  basically i really want to,  but …i dont know if i have that kind of money to spend.  okay well i CAN spend that amount of money but i dont wanna spend too much all at once because i want some other stuff too, lol.  i guess i’ll just wait till after christmas and see what i wanna do.
