Like the battery

So, like, it's 1:36 a.m. in the morning, and I feel really energised. I have no idea why, but here I am.

I've been kind of in a post-midsem lull. I've squandered a lot of time, even though I took the day off on Tuesday, and I really have a lot of stuff to get through. Story of my life, I guess.

Moving on. Just then, I watched my sister play in her recital-practice-performance thingy. I've got a vid, but I don't know if she wants it on the net. I thought she played brilliantly, except for the second piece, which was a bit bad. But she may think otherwise, so I'll refrain for now, and master my uploading impulses. However, I do have this awesome clip of Sonny Chua, and I managed to have a conversation with him as well. It went something like:

"How you doing? You probably don't remember this, but you taught me for a few lessons once."
"Oh really, were you a good student?"
"I tried to be."

So on and so forth.

"So what do you do now?"
"Arts/Commerce at Monash."
"Oh. Tallon does Arts too."

I forgot to tell him that Tallon's not doing Arts anymore. Anyway, I'm supposed to say hi to Tallon for him. This all happened while he was walking me to the toilet. Yes, I needed to be walked to the toilet, because MacRob, being an all-girls school, has about two male toilets in the whole school. Reminds me of something. That something contains the words 'karma', 'Melbourne High School,' and 'female toilets'. Hmm.

Here's the clip. The narrations by me speak for themselves. Enjoy.

Eclecticity

How strange. I don't know if anybody else finds this weird, but this is the story.

Today, I went to a performance of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, K622, my favourite clarinet piece of all time. It was awesome. And to cap it off, they played an impromptu rendition of the Londonderry Air, which was the first piece that I played and loved.

Then, when I got home, I listened to Coldplay and Jay-Z.

That's the end of the story. Good story Andrew.

There must be something wrong with me.

And I'm really looking forward to Usher's new album next month.

Yep, there's definitely something wrong with me.
