Vive la France!

Pulp Fiction

Well, I finally saw this movie. I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E. Tarantino's quite a director. And apparently, I can spell! I also took the ACT on saturday, which was no fun at all. We had Ginny's surprise party today over at Capital City, and I'm not in the mood to write anything else, so watch these scenes from Pulp Fiction. And for you Facebook people reading this, you'll have to click "view original post" to see the movies 'cuz Facebook don't allow embedded movies.

Finally, a weekend

Got through a short week that seemed extremely long for some reason. School's ramping up and getting harder, though French is still incredibly easy ;-). I auditioned for Octet and Troubadors and probably got into both. I'm thinking tenor 2 in Octet, and tenor in troubs. It's weird, I sing tenor sometimes, bass sometimes, baritone, blah. They just put me wherever they need me, shows, chorus, ensembles...

Anyway, went to the annual theater club cookout and movie at Pace where we watched "The Producers." I don't think I could ever get tired of that movie. It's just that hilarious. Mel Brooks is currently working on a "Young Frankenstein" musical for Broadway, that should impress, as anything he touches does.

Tomorrow, I have 2 fencing tournaments at my club. Local atlanta people, mostly and I think a few people from out of town. Wish me luck!

Here's me, playing the harmonica. I used to be really good at it! I bought a harmonica on the drive back from Michigan when I was probably 8 or 9, and taught myself to play it. "Ode to Joy" was the first song I learned how to play! Sorry for the choppy video. This iMac G4 doesn't take very good video from my iSight.

Life goes on.

I'm getting through school pretty well. It feels great to be a senior 'cause we have so many privileges. We get the senior cellar all to ourselves, we're going to get open campus pretty soon, the teachers don't treat us like underclassmen anymore. Everything's pretty awesome.
Since I got to choose most of my classes, I actually feel motivated to do the work (haha we'll see how long that holds up) so I'm going to do better. Plus, French this year is going to be a breeze. I took AP last year and learned everything about French grammar. The only thing left to learn would be some vocab which is basically a cinch.

I got back yesterday from spending Labor Day weekend with my cousins and grandparents in Dallas. Having the entire family together is always overwhelming but I like getting to see them all at least once a year. Uncle Robert and his family didn't come because they just moved into their new house in New Orleans and school just started for them. Oh, and let me tell you, I played Dance Dance Revolution. INSANELY FUN. I need to get the "Mario Mix" version for Gamecube :0) .

Chicago rehearsals going as normal. Slowly for me since I'm not in too many scenes. It IS nice to have more time for doing other things besides being stuck at Pace for practices.
