Between insanity and normality.
I like it better that way.
Between running outside in the middle of a thunderstorm to clean off my window so I could take some decent video to spending three hours in the Cingular Store to pick out a cell phone... That's on the line of insanity.
However I did get one of those new fangled cellular telephones. And it rocks. Or at least everything about it rocks except the talking part. Insanity, again.
This nifty phone does pretty much everything. It includes a two megapixel camera (pictures coming up), good MP3 player, some sweet headphones that won't stay in my ears because they're funny shaped, and an unlimited Internet plan. I use it as a modem for my Mac so I can use the Internet anywhere I get cell service. Yeah, that's pretty darn cool.
That Stephanie girl. Man. She rocks. You should meet her. She's going to kill me for putting those pictures on here too.
Pictures are worth a thousand words, so a picture that's made of three different shots must be worth three thousand. Here are several words worth of pictures now (because my writing is... umm... terrible at the moment)(and i'm tired)
I'll get to tripping later, but first lets hit marching and flying. Being in the band is quite possibly one of the most fun things ever. Not the marching (although that can be fun too), but the general feeling of a standing ovation and the rumbling of bleachers is pretty good. Heck, Alex thought it was so fun he started to fly! (More about which in a minute) As anyone who reads this blog probably knows, I don't get the chance to write in it much anymore. Most of this is because of band and such things, and another part is school. But band is great fun. I love band. And marching band will be over until the Gator Bowl after next Saturday. (Rejoice Kuyu Blog readers, all two of you.)
Yesterday was the Marshall band competition. The Saturday before that was the Black Walnut Festival band competion and parade. We lost Black Walnut to two other bands, but our show was pretty cool that night. I'm hoping I can find some way to get it on the internet. George Washington from Charleston and Spring Valley beat us. The Marshall band competion we also lost, but to me it was a moral victory. Out of thirty bands, we won marching (and some of those bands that totally stink at playing march well) and something else too that I can't remember. But we came in second to Hurricane. Mom says their show was boring but there must have been something there that caused the judges to vote that way. I haven't seen either one of our tapes yet. The moral victory was beating Spring Valley. At least we're not loosing to the same people every time.
Flying... I swear he was flying. Not tripping, no stumbling, but whole body off the ground rising up with wings flying. I'm talking about Alex. During our show there is this one bit where they put a box on the stage. Every time it seems to go in a different place. Alex had tripped over the box before, but this time he caught the ladder part. Then he started to fly. I swear he was flying. Honestly.
The third item on the list of things to type about today is tripping. And it has nothing to do with boxes, but rather pictures. I have discovered a new picture taking technique called HDR. This stands for High Dynamic Range and it gives your pictures and outstanding color range. Like an acid trip or something the Beatles might have come up with. Samples going on my Flickr soon. More about it later.
