Band and such

Before you read this post, you have to watch this election video. (Good choice, Jesse!) I challenge anyone to find a better one this election season. If you do... I'll post it here and acknowledge your greatness, how's that? I'm cheap, sorry.

One week of band camp down, one week left. It hasn't been all that bad, none of the freshmen are any more annoying than some of the returning band members. I've got a chance to work out and work on my tan for several hours a day, always a plus. I am now a deep shade of light reddish-white-tan, better than my usual shade of... white. Highlights of the past week include seeing all my "band family" again, lunch and dinner breaks are always fun. BBQ with the low brass on Friday was good, got to eat brats and sit around in the shade... watched Kimber eat 5 ants for $5. Good times.

This next week is going to suck, being outside for 12 hours at Kiggins, in the rain, but meh... nothing I can do about that. At least we have some decent competitions this year (Pasco, OSU, UofO), plus Hawaii next spring. Lucky you, Dan, you quit the year we finally do something fun!

Went out for an evening with Kyrie, David and Pat last night. Driving in the rain took a bit of getting used to, especially with all the oil bubbling up from the roads, it was like driving on a river of foam. Stopped at Chevron station on 99th Street around midnight to fill up. The creepy guy in the truck behind me started to hit on me, but fortunately the lady at the next pump over decided to drive away with the gas pump still in her car, causing a great distraction. I don't think I'd ever seen anyone do that before, the breakaway system the use seems to work well though, she didn't spill any fuel.

My mom hit a truck with the Audi backing out of a parking lot a few days ago, so now theres a gash in the back bumper. I guess she didn't see it and ran into the wheel, so there wasn't any damage to the truck. Just glad it wasn't me, that brings the total of things hit by my parents to 4 (2 each, in the Sequoia and the Audi... a flowerpot and a cement column by my dad in the Sequoia and the garage and a truck by mom in the Audi.) Still nothing for me, which is surprising since I park at Skyview, one of the most dangerous places around.

That's about it for me, seems like I've been updating weekly. I'd update more if I felt like typing when I get home, but usually I just stick a movie in the laptop and just lay there when I get home, I don't usually feel like moving and thinking.
