Monday, April 11, 2005 Three It's not that I haven’t had anything to blog about. In the time since my last post, I planned a campus-wide event at the University of Michigan; sang and fronted a band without playing an instrument myself for the first time--for some reason, I have a tendency to hide behind my instruments in certain contexts, but not having to play one was suddenly freeing (I had a wireless mic, which was also fun); broke my cell phone on accident--dropped it too many times--turning the silver flip phone into the two-piece mess of circuitry that is currently sitting on my desk; reverted to my old, already-being-held-together-by-duct-tape phone from three years ago; bought a replacement from Ebay that I'm quite excited about; heard difficult news on at least two fronts; wrestled with God; convinced Dan Vaillancourt and Katie Arnold to play a concert at my church (if you're in Ann Arbor, University Reformed Church on Tuesday, April 19th at 8pm, it's free and he's probably the best guitarist I know); finished teaching my first set of swing dancing lessons with Jamie; competed in a goofy lindy hop competition, the fifth Battle of the Swing Cities, to Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off"; sang a lot of musical theatre; saw two bands, one modern dance performance, and an art show; discovered Christian Matjias, a U-M professor who writes incredible piano compositions; wasted hours on the computer; and bemoaned the fact that I'm not a modern dancer (I've wanted to learn for years, but thus far it's still on the to-do list, kind of like my ever-growing reading list, an Excel spreadsheet with over 150 entries--and I was a lit. major). So there you go, three weeks neatly encapsulated into one (very) long sentence. ^ Top | 12:40 AM | | |
