Last night a DJ saved my life
Two weeks ago I caught an episode of Pushing Daisies. It was like watching a Columbo murder mystery cross-bred with a Doctor Seuss book. I'm hoping I will remember to catch it again this wednesday because wednesday seems to be the only free night I have now.
I went to the Amanda Palmer show at Toad's Place with my friend Danielle and met her nice friend Jake. I had a good time for the most part, aside from getting felt up by a slightly overweight guy wearing a Batman mask. After Danielle pulled me closer to her, Batman guy moved forward and started a fight with another Batman guy. Then Amanda Palmer's girl-in-charge broke up the fight and threatened to throw them out if they didn't stop. That was crazy. What was crazier is that soon after the concert ended around midnight, a Yale dance party began. In the middle of the week? Aren't they supposed to be studying?
Anyways, Amanda was totally cool, sang some songs from her newest album, and was really nice to Danielle when she met her so it was definitely worth going. Even though it was standing room only, I still got to stand about 10 feet away from her and the Danger Ensemble did some creative moves during some of her songs. I was especially entertained with the Umbrella performance.
I'm going to a Christmas party for my job and I offered to bring pumpkin cheesecake and mini cupcakes. I made this double layer pumpkin cheesecake for some holiday at my house a few years ago and it was delicious. I'm also on a cupcake kick. The white cake cupcakes with strawberry frosting and pieces of blueberries and strawberries on top that I made for a baby shower were a hit so I'd like to create something else for the Christmas party. I ended up buying a mini cupcake pan so I'm going to use it as much as I can.
I'm really excited, I found out I am eligible to get free voice lessons through the music department so I set up my first lesson this thursday. I have to figure out what I want to work on. Something operatic, definitely. I'm so excited I haven't had lessons in 7 years so it's going to be great. I know i'm not going to be told that I suck, but I wish I did so I have something to work on. oh well. i'm still excited.
I forgot I was supposed to be writing a paper on Mozart AND OMG I HAVE TO GO TO CLASS. BYE.
