I wonder if anyone knows the anime from which I took the title of todays update? Points to whoever does and the only hint I'll give is that it's the name of one of the early episodes in the series.

The past few days have been rather stressful in numerous ways. First there was Thursday which is typically Bishop Day (IE; Time for my lesson) but Bishop said he wouldn't be there until 1:00 PM so Jeremy and I didn't get lessons. What sucks even more is that Bishop didn't Actually arrive until about 2:00 PM which means that Marc got boned out of his lesson this week too. It sucks for him because he's had something like 2 lessons since school started. Anywho, Band came and went and then that evening it was time for quartet. Quartet went fair enough, I suppose. The problem was that Brian skipped out on the rehearsals I had setup this past weekend and so only Tim, Paul and myself did any practicing. We went in with Bishop and I think he saw that it was fairly obvious that the three of us had practiced and Brian hadn't. At the end of rehearsal, Bishop asks us if we want to play for Jean-Marie Londiex (Go Google him and be amazed) when he's going to do his masterclass on the 26th of this month. I think that scared the s**t out of Brian and my hope was that he'd get his a** in gear.

Oh how I Loathe being wrong...

So Friday was a day like any other day in the fact that it had a couple highs and too damn many lows. The high was that I performed my Impressionist Music Theory project and it went OK. Trista messed up the piano part and the whole thing got off, but the effect still came across. I had people coming up afterwards and telling me how they liked it, so that's all that matters to me. The day continued on until we had a special band time at 2:30 PM Friday because Tim Reynish (Go Google him and be amazed) is at school right now and he gave a conducting clinic to the students in Dr. Adams' conducting class. It was cool because he's one hella funny and awesome Brit, let me tell you what. After that, I was feeling in a pretty spiffy mood and I was looking forward to saxophone quartet that night and Dr. Rickman's piano recital.

Well quartet time came at 6:00 PM and guess who didn't show up for rehearsal again? The funny thing is that he had asked me to send him earlier notice about rehearsals so MOnday I emailed everyone with what times we would rehearse this week. While Saturday and Sunday were shot to Hell, Friday was still great and Brian just "Forgot" about us again. I am getting sick and tired of it because this quartet could be something special if he actually gave a damn and it's wearing on my near infinite patience. Uggh...But I digress. Dr. Rickman's recital came and went with great awesomeness and that helped fulfill my night a little. I was still angry, but at least I heard some good music so I didn't have too much to complain about.

I think I'll put a Saturday entry in a seperate log since it'll be a decent size too. Maybe because people hate reading this tripe or maybe because I want to bite my thumb at you all.

Take your pick. xp
