How is everybody? I am fine.
Last night was a weird sort of Saturday night. I have a paper from one class due on Monday, and a paper from another class due on Tuesday, so I was determined to get the shorter of the two finished. I started writing at 9, and was finished by 11 with a page above the minimum. The paper was on the Mexicamerican War, a term I coined myself. It turned out not to be to most formal of literary ventures. The reason for this is because to make writing it funner, I included certain analogies, such as referring to Texas as America's new girlfriend, and Mexico as her jealous ex.
This morning I went to church and played mandolin, which went quite smoothly. When I returned home, I went out to buy bread and Listerine. I listened to the Dubliners in the car, which was nice. When I again returned home with comestibles and oral hygiene products, I checked all my email accounts, my Facebook and Myspace accounts as well as my blogger email, which was fascinating.... I also made the conscious decision to include more phrases from the movie Snatch into my everyday brogue, such as "Save your breath for cooling your porridge", "In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary... Come again?" And "Before zee Germans get here."
Later I went out to play mandolin for the "This Is My Country" concert in the Keene High auditorium. In the parking lot, I saw David Guion and Angelia Boucher eating Friendlys food in a car, so I said hello. I sat in the front row for most of the concert with my geriatric band mates, giving Beth Guion creepy looks. I somehow also managed to use all of my newly acquired phrases, which confused people to no end. Halfway through the concert, I went up to play mandolin, and once I had, I left. Before I had done so, I found out the all the Catholic musicians present would get $50 a piece. I also found out that our collective $200 would be going to help our resident Kenyan, which is a nice gesture.
That is what I did today. I am now hungry, and waiting to be fed. What are you doing?
