magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

I did get up at a reasonable hour this morning, but was then sidetracked by a book of short stories. They're fable-styled, and arranged in the order of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, so it was all sort of apropos to "looking at things as background to my thesis."

I spent most of the afternoon working on my Pink Panther theme orchestration. It received the most discussion in class, but perhaps that's because I made it in Ableton Live instead of Logic Express and so my working file couldn't be opened and looked at, leaving the audio as the only thing to talk about.

Then to Trivial Dispute. Some kids that I met on Tuesday nights last semester and often teamed up with are switching to Mondays, so it looks like I won't have to play too many awful solo nights for the immediate future. (There really should be a handicap added to the score of teams of 1 when they're playing against teams of 4, 5, or 6. Or not. You don't in any way need to drink $30 in free booze by yourself at the end of a Monday night.) The shot-question (the ones you get to yell out, and win a shot of cheap liquor) theme tonight was celebrities first marriages. They name the spouse, you name the celebrity. Some of course were both celebrities, and I was waiting and ready to pounce on Sean Penn/Madonna. It went the other way, Madonna/Sean Penn, but I won it anyway. So one free shot (even with a team, we didn't place).
