Diamond Dogs

Lately I joined Facebook to connect with classmates old and new. One of the groups set up by a student was for Moulin Rouge fans. As I painted 3 of my bedroom's walls with the lyrics to "Nature Boy", the opening and closing theme of the movie, I obviously had to join. Tonight 7 of us got together in the dorm I was originally supposed to be living in and watched it. 2 had never seen it and some were singing along all the way through. It's nice to watch it on a huge screen, though the speakers were messed up. The group leader got Valentino's pizza and it was just a fun night. The guys are now watching Space Balls and the girls are watching Princess Diaries 2, but I wasn't in the mood for either, so I went to the music building and played Moulin songs for 30 min. or so.
My sis had her tonsils taken out so she's at our home right now getting better. It's not cool for a 27-year-old to have that surgery. Glad mine were taken in elementary school.

That's it for now,
"Come what may, I will love you 'til my dying day!"

October is here

October has come and fall is becoming more evident as the days pass. One of our vines in the backyard has turned red and tree leaves are yellowing. I still have flowers blooming (daylilies and such) so my yard duties are not yet over. I got grass seed to fill in the bare patches in the yard and I'm still babying my 3 roses. The other 2 are fine on their own for some reason.
Fall brings about some great things--Halloween, which means costume parties, Thanksgiving, pumpkin carving, cooler weather, Husker games (we're undefeated and btw, WE BEAT ISU!!!), and of course, my birthday!
Last week I sang a solo in chapel with Chorale. The group sang the song (which goes back and forth between French and English) and I sang a separate, improv line over that. I was nervous enough that I couldn't get words out on the line before I sang. After that I had a Global Issues presentation that lasted about 30 min. and went very well despite my anxiety.
This week is a 4 day week (YES) since we have Fall Break Fri-Sun. It will be very nice to not have Music Theory and World Music Friday, as they're boring.
I've just added myself to Facebook which is a huge thing on campus. Basically Myspace with a school emphasis. I've added some people from HS, MMC, and CU, so if you want to join, I'll add ya--just let me know!

"Song of the Day": "Lately" by David Gray on the new CD.
Much love-
