cockroach makes a comeback. conducting memories.

alright listen. remember on the 30th of july when i talked about how there was a cockroach in my bathroom? well guess what… yesterday another one showed up! and people, these things are huge here, like the length of my palm! i’m serious. so upon noticing the beast, i ran out of the bathroom, closing the door behind me. and instead of running downstairs screaming like last time, i sent Wit a skype message…. and this is what he had to say in response:

what!? too busy to kill this thing! i left it in there as a prisoner for about 2.5 minutes, then went downstairs and got zax myself, and he came up and smashed it. when i went in the bathroom later, there was a smudge mark where the beast breathed his last breath – and it was the color of his body. and then i started to think, why don’t bugs bleed? because if someone were to step on me, i wouldn’t leave a tan/white mark… it’d be red from blood.

in other news, it was a good morning for the iPod. all my “men” (coldplay, damien rice, john mayer, the beatles), had a song shuffled through. some days i get a bad batch shuffled, and i have to keep skipping ahead to the next song. but today, it was like the songs chose me. “the wand chooses the wizard, harry.”

oh my gosh! that totally made me think about conducting class! i would affectionately refer to my baton as a wand. and once when Dr. G (love him), asked why i hadn’t gotten a baton, i told him that one hadn’t chosen me yet. it was okay though, because i just made him cupcakes as leverage (which some might call “bribery,” but i call this “generosity”). and since i mentioned conducting, it only feels right to post this video i made almost a year ago:

this was actually the first video i ever made… and it accurately depicts what our conducting class was like. and since this is my blog, i would just like to say i was the best in my class.

good day to you!
