Solo Ensemble

Its a competition-like thing where we get into groups and practice a certain piece of music for two months, and then perform it in front of judges for scores. Our judge said we played quite well, and even though we kinda fell apart at some parts, we got back together. We had three violins (one first violin, and two second violins), one viola, one cello, and one bass. =D Hope ya enjoy it!
And tons of thanks to Mom and Jonah for waking up super early to take me and record it and stuff! Love, CJ

Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Things that I'm doing, posted by Groovymom.   Posting on my Blogger blog also. I'm going crazy trying to figure out where I got, "Good stuff, Maynard", from. Anyone know? I think it was a commercial. My husband and I are sitting in our room watching Planet Earth on Animal Planet. All 3 cats have joined us to watch the show. Only one of them actually looks at the TV though. We had some teriyaki chicken, rice, and salad for dinner. I'm sort of bored, I think waiting for the final HP book that's coming out on Saturday (Friday @ midnight for those who are impatient). My diabetes is doing much better now that I've learned what I can and cannot eat, without looking it all up. I want to play Starcraft II like, yesterday. Long wait though. I know it's not technically Thursday, but I won't have time in the morning to do a list, so... here we are. You know, I think Sigourney Weaver narrates some of the Planet Earth segments. Surprisingly, I didn't bother to check when I found the link above. I'll have to do that later. I'm tired, I'm going to have to go to bed before midnight tonight. When I'm done watching Planet Earth, I'm going to watch Blood and Chocolate. Yeah, it will probably suck, but I don't have high expectations so I may find it entertaining. Afterall, I freaken LOVED Reign of Fire, and I don't know anybody else who will admit it. My husband wants an iPhone. Which means I want one now, too. You see, he talks about how cool things are, and suddenly I find myself wanting the same things. So, we're going to be going that route sometime in the next few months. I just turned off Planet Earth. Watching foxes run in and snatch goslings out of their nests is not a visual I need before I try to go to bed. Surprisingly, werewolves (Blood and Chocolate), won't phase me. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. qtpies7

Stuid-ass cat

Zeus is trying to kill me. He woke me at 5:45a for no reason other than he wanted to talk. Zeus is part siamese. He talks incessantly, and wants me to respond in kind. He doesn't seem to care what I say, it can be human or cat speak. Cat speak for me is mimicking his funky little mao mao mao that sounds nothing like a meow. Of course, if he gets no response from me, I then get a cold cat nose in my ear and a long, drawn out, maaaaaaaoooooooooooo, in case the previous 20 times weren't heard. So, I get up and go to the living room, and once he's satisfied that I am sitting, alert and attentive, he proceeds to chase, pounce, and basically torment our sweet baby Lulu kitty. Lu is older than Zeus, and was here a few years before Zeus, but as his name implies, he is...Zeus. He rules this realm, and all those who insist on living in it.

If he wakes me up like that again on the weekend, he's going to be dinner.
