Got a flat tire yesterday afternoon. Called everyone I could, wasn't able to get a ride back to the school for my voice lesson. The person who said he'd tell my teacher and the accompanist didn't, so it looked like I just bailed.
I woke up to my computer not working. I've backed up most of my stuff, but there's also some stuff I started working on last night that I can't access now.
My mother let me drive her car where I needed to go today. It has a flat tire now. |

Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant South,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh!
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.
strangefruit.mp3
( and the sheet )
I originally composed a version of this two years ago, but it was horrible, so a few days ago I decided to do it over. About half of the melody is the same, but everything else is different. My professor liked it a lot when I showed her yesterday. |

Had my recital last night. It was recorded; if my friend can get me an .mp3 and if I approve of it, I'll consider uploading it. Everyone's been telling me it was great, and the choir director came up to me this afternoon just to tell me everything good I did, which probably means it didn't suck. I'm getting better at taking compliments, but that just makes me fear that my ego will get too big. If I ever start thinking I'm too awesome, feel free to punch me in the face until I stop.
Gonna get a fake slit throat for Halloween and throw Pez candies at people. Should be pretty okay.
Still excited about Saul Williams. My November 5th is gonna me awesome. |

Do you ever feel like you're going to completely ruin everything?
This morning I woke up to a phone call, my friend asking to help her arrange one of her solo voice compositions for four-part vocals. Later, one of my friends suggested that he might pay me for a composition. I'm excited, but I feel like people are greatly overestimating my skills. I don't want to ruin everything. I will certainly try very hard to keep everything unruined.
Also, last night I had another dream that I was Jesus. There were a man and woman hurting everyone else in a crowd, and I went up to each of them, took their hand as if to shake it, and said "Do you not feel it in my hands?" as they fainted and fell to the ground. I remember feeling really sad. But also I was Jesus, so what the fuck. What the fuck. |

After weeks of being confused and poor, I finally found out what's going with my $500+ scholarship money. The school actually forgot about me. In the records, it says I should have gotten scholarship money, but they just... forgot. Such is my life.
I had a dream last night that I was trying to flirt with a really cute girl (who was wearing a short skirt and kept bending over on purpose so that I could see her lacy underwear), but ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) daftwullie kept calling me gay and interrupting. What a dick.
so how 'bout them vidya games |

Today was another good day! Maybe thursdays are just my lucky day. I turned in a great essay on time and took three tests that I felt pretty good about upon completing them.
I've been playing Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days since it came out here on tuesday, but it's slow progress because I've actually been working hard at school. I think it's kind of ridiculous for them to be releasing KH games on portable systems at all since the graphics aren't as good as they could be, especially on the DS, but they did an okay job of it from what I can tell so far. It's a good game, but I'm biased because I've just about sold my soul to the series.
That's all, I guess. School and video games have pretty much been my life lately. |
