On a recent visit to Trader Joe's, I bought a suitcase full of cookies. It wasn't fully intentional; I kept running into cookies that looked fabulous and by the end of the shopping trip, I had a cart full of awesome yumminess...mostly in cookie form. I'd like to say that these cookies have a long full life ahead of them. Sadly, it turns out that gingerbread men dipped in chocolate are delicious.
I'm now about 15 hours away from my recital boards (the audition where I play my full recital for some faculty members who decide whether or no I can actually have my recital) and I'm getting antsy pants. The last time I had boards, about 12 years ago, I was the second person in the history of that school to fail. So. Today I practiced a bunch, ate a cookie or two, and am watching some bad 90's tv shows.
My life currently follows the same pattern as it did a few weeks ago, in spite of classes being over for winter break. I've still got lessons, rehearsals, and a first draft of my big-ass written project due on January 3. The good news is that I sometimes see sunshine, I have time to take walks, and I've surfaced enough to hang out with folks a little bit. And I just ate another cookie. Addictive, evil little things.
I suspect that after my boards tomorrow, I'll have some more energy to seek out funny things my fellow humans are doing and saying. I like very much that in spite of all the silliness I see, there is still plenty of silly left in the world. Perhaps tomorrow, I'll go explore and look for adventure. Until then, I've got cookies to eat and an eight-hour nap to take.
An Erinku:
whew!
lucky that improbable
plot twist happened there!
bad 90's tv is brilliantly bad.
