BC Calc, Music Theory, and Never Doing THAT Again

So, music first, other stuff later. Music..... yeah... I've been doing a lot of not listening to it. I DO like that American Boys song, kinda rappish, hiphopish. Definitely not my genre, obviously, but I do enjoy it. I 'illegally' downloaded some jazz the other night, all centered around Miles Davis. I really like his no-vibrato tone. Very clear, crisp, and to the point, yet very sensational and expressive.

Along the lines of more modern music, the Hives are a pretty good band with a very good, as my friend said, Good song to Bad song ratio. That's about all I have

I've been doing more studying music lately, learning a lot about major and minor chords, sequences, and trying to ear train my ear with intervals. It's really cool, and when I sit down at my keyboard I'm figuring out how to do more things, and when I read or play music I'm able to understand more things. Very cool. Music Theory is an awesome class.

I've been pretty steady with my BC Calc since I got it. I have all of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters to do 5 modules, each 5 lessons. Yeah, 25 lessons for 3 quarters. All very cool. The packet said I should be spending 6-8 hours on each lesson, but I'm pretty sure I flew through this last one at like, 2 1/2 hours.

And, my new section, the

Never Doing THAT Again!

Section.

So last time I worked - forever and a half ago, we were doing, literally nothing, so me and my Soop (supervisor) went out back to hang out and she offered me a menthol. Usually I go along the lines that you gotta try something at least once. So I had one, and NEVER AGAIN. Damn, so I've had a few cigars, but this thing literally, literally, tasted like ass. I could feel the carcinogens taking hold in my little lung tubules. Ech, and cigars aren't even that cool. Fuck smoking.

That's about all. Duckie and I celebrated our 1 year in Madeline Island - very cool. I don't know, life. I'll have senior pictures soon.

You make me giggle.
