so happy together
So I got to sleep two extra hours today due to the absolutely catastrophic, disastrous, and city-crushing quarter inch of snow we got last night. Yes, folks, Baltimore panics whenever the temperature plummets below luke warm. Oh well, works for me. I'll take the extra 20 hits on the snooze button. It was the extra 2 hours that allowed Dave and me (the grammar's right, ask Mrs. Schleifer, my second grade teacher) to play a jam session tonight that lasted between three and four hours, not counting a break for the infamous Mr. Magoo's pizza, and his fantabulous Not-Buffalo Wings (there was no sauce). I told you I like long sentences.
We're working on some things for this battle of the bands in February. Tomorrow we're going to Catonsville to check out their 4,876 music shops. I need new sticks, since mine are about chewed through (from the cymbals... I have a healthy diet). Yeah, so I'm psyched. This will be my first gig since I played in a funk band almost five years ago now, and it will be my official entrance into the okay samurai extended family.
Nintendo-wise, I am the master of the Pikachu Lightning Attack, as Dave, Tammer, and Nick can attest, because of the fact that I K.O. them all the time. In fact we've become so obsessed that Dave and I made up a Pokemon song, tentatively titled Lightning Crashes (TM, you intellectual property thief!) tonight. Yes, I know we sound like nerds, but according to the experts (that would be "Wendy" from the Weblog Review), you can't help but like us. Plus, we're great looking. And by that I mean, Dave is the "adorable... little boy" on the side of the page, and my mom tells me I'm handsome, so it must be true...
On a non-musical note, I got new class pets from one of the other science teachers at school. Her pets had babies, so we got everyone's favorite dinner guest, albino rats. The kids freaked out about it, which was funny. The rats are nice; I petted them before I left for home so they would get to know my scent. They sure beat what Dave gets to bring to class, namely a Rolling Stone Magazine with a half-naked Justin Timberlake on the cover trying to look tough, but succeeding only in breaking off his relationship with one of the hottest bubble-gum pop stars of the last 39.5 months. I know, you all didn't really need to read any of my ramblings, but since the Wutang Killer Bees don't have a weblog, it'll have to suffice.
