a smattering

first of all, new feature: closer to fine by the indigo girls. that "fiIIIiiiine" part is really hard to do. this girl does it well. this couple is really good too--i think i like the first girl's voice better, and also i decided at the beginning of this mini-competition to not listen to any guys trying to cover it (there's no real reason for that distinction, i guess i just don't like male singers, whoops). but i give these people props for harmonizing well and playing the guitar and the violin. good job.


my weekend was so wonderful. i need to start taking piano lessons again; i stopped once i started working at babydaycare because my hours are so random. but i should really just pick a day/time and start again. i also need to make my keyboard work. somehow, somehow...it would make my life to be able to play songs on the piano. i need to keep that in mind.

the kid i tutor has the flu, so i didn't see him today and might not see him thursday. i'm sad that he's sick; i'm also sad that i'm gonna make 100 dollars less than originally planned this week. i need to email my boss and see what the cancellation policy is.

also i'm sad, i figured out how to do the math problem i couldn't help him with, and i was gonna be like sup! here's the answer.

i'm getting excited about going to guatemala. stina can't live with me in northampton until august, though, which is depressing. i don't know what to do; i feel like everyone else has an automatic person to live with (aka, a significant other), and i don't, so i'm just like, set out to the winds without a sail. bad metaphor. but you know what i mean.

talked to stina on skype for 3 hours last night though, which was wonderful. <3 my friends.
