So we all know that McDonald's french fries are made with beef flavor, but did you know they were being sued over it?

these boxers i'm wearing.. the elastic is all gone, so they're like 302423 sizes too big now, and they'd almost fall off if i wasn't wearing pants.

so the moral of the story is, good thing i'm wearing pants.

MCAS. You may or may not know them, but I love them! They are the "high stakes, self-esteem crushing exams(according to SCAM)" that all 10th grade Massachusetts kids have to pass to graduate highschool. They are 17 hours of testing. I LOVE THEM! It means I get almost no homework during them, plus no teachers quiz or test during them. I also get to miss 2 of my 4 classes each day. That accounted for my not having math or chem once last week. Can you think of anything better? (besides being out of school....I get out June 15th ughhh....) So all these people that stress over MCASing sophomores needn't worry. All is easy, and all is okay. :-)

dmb tonight at pac bell park was amazing. Trey Anastasio (phish) casme on and did a 20 minute version of "Lie In Our Graves" and they ended the night up with "Two Step" (that the kids next to me were screaming for the entire night, and that lasted almost 15 minutes). the show was great, with a huge mix of songs from almost every album, as well as a few that i had never heard before.

oh. and it was cold i bought a long sleeve T, and was still cold, even though i was dancing the whole time.

thank you, louis. thankyou.thankyou.thankyou.

So people keep making all these stereotypical judgements about me, just because i go to Princeton. But people are pushing a certain image about the students here..just read an article like this and you'll probably see where most people get these crazy ideas. yuck. not to say that we don't work really hard here, but what slim part of the student body did this guy talk to? Most people have actually managed to *gasp* keep being social and whatnot, despite the work.

This is what I came up with:

opulent plough purrs
foggily, unblinking hog
mewling, bunglingly

I like the word "mewling"

the great thing about summer is that i can work for nineteen hours straight and nobody can stop me. [ see previous post ]

The end is so hard!!!! I hate the random yuckiness involved in the end of the year. Everyone is trying to hand in last minute projects....and learn what the needed to all year. Better practice those scales.......two octaves....some minors here and there....And there are so many tests going on.....it is never a full class....who knows who is suppossed to be at what test..AP.....MCAS.....uugh. Then there are the numerous performances with nasty music like.....stars and stripes...and pomp and circumstance...give me a little M. Camphouse or V. Persichetti please....just a phrase of music will do...just not the star spangled banner...no!! maybe semper fidelis......that is really musically fulfilling.....get that uniform in....pay for that lost uniform hat!......clean out that music locker that was a trash can for the past four years.......this is why I became a band director....because I Iove the music....lol.

Coming back from school, I finally got some gifts my parents bought me from Italy on their vacation. Among which were a leather bracelet with my name typed onto it and a fairly large, framed, embroidered G clef necklace, which I'm apparently supposed to wear around my neck and hope my back doesn't break from holding it up (I'm e x a g g e r a t i n g).

Only 13 days left....but oh so much work still needs to be done. oh well. then it looks like I'm coming home on the 26th only to come back to NJ on the 28th [gotta love that the University isn't giving us Munich-kids interim housing...yay]

louis, 10:28: #

today is my final [ and hardest ] exam: my promotional at nec. after that, i'm free to work as much as i want and such. yay!

Until recently I would have disagreed with Ken's quote macs are pretty cool, but the other day I used a G4, and it was the coolest thing. My friend has a digital video camera, and she made an awesome presentation using the iMovie software. I have been converted... -In other random news today I noticed Guster uses Blogger for thier "road journal"

ken, 21:23: #

ha ha ha i bought blue toilet paper for the shared bathroom on my floor, which is otherwise white! so now the bathroom clashes and no one is going to be in the shower when i need it in the morning! maybe.

ken, 17:45: #

not that i want to say anything bad about macs, or the os, but why couldn't they make the transparent part of the icons clickable? example: i open the "internet explorer folder". i somehow manage to click right in the little space inside the "e". result? nothing!

but otherwise, macs are pretty cool.

albeit wicked late, i finally put together the finishing touches on my princeton triplog.

louis, 13:04: #

thanks to cindy, you call can see a photo of me sleeping [ or passed out? ]

louis, 05:47: #

i haven't seen the sun rise in a while. so this morning, as i hadn't gone to sleep yet when it rose, i ran out and took some photos. i'll post them soon.

louis, 04:36: #

things you should do:

go add comments to my photos
be the first on your block to employ duodenum, the überversatile comment system. it's got lots of wicked cool features. rumor has it that if you beg enough to aryn, he may just cave in and modify the system to your wants. [ he did for me, standards-compliant bitch that i am with my xhtml and what not. ;-) ]
give aryn mad props for helping me out and thus letting me help you out if you choose to employ duodenum. louis sez 'do it. now!'

louis, 01:10: #

i've just about finished adding duodenum to my photo section.

what, like adult lemonade?

louis, 21:01: #

is the aforementioned "lemonade" the variety which is generally denied to people under the age of twenty-one?

emily, 19:40: #

I LOVE LEMONADE :)

louis, 11:37: #

i like coffee and coffee likes me. even better is when i drink an mt. dew while i wait for my coffee to brew.

mihai, 09:41: #

that would be my doppelgänger, louis (although I'm not sure if having the same laptop, digital camera, and our own (in my case pseudo-) companies quite qualifies for doppelgänger status)

ken, 01:05: #

through who? is it someone we know, too?

2001-05-01

mihai, 23:14: #

considering that about a year ago I started to design my own (as of yet unfinished) weblog, I find it slightly amusing that my first blog entry is through someone I've met only for a few days...

boiling water is not so much fun. when i was living in mozambique, i had to boil and filter all of the water i used - to drink, to cook, even to make ice. i got used to the 'bizarre' taste, but i'm not too sure i'd like to do it again. it is, however, better than dropping dead of cholera or some other wondrous disease.

emily, 22:11: #

This morning I received a friendly email from Princeton University saying they were instilling a precautionary boil water advisory. I guess NJ water really is not very healthy for drinking...

aryn, 17:49: #

california, although it is beautiful, is expensive as hell. not to mention that i'm paying $1500 every month in rent, alone. i don't think that i like that part of living out here.
