a ten-minute dream in the passenger seat

All in all, a good day.

( Some good haikus )

Has anyone ever had the Sun-Ripened Tomato and Basil variety of Wheat Thins? My mom bought some today and I must say they are fan-bloody-tastic.

I just discovered I can record myself playing for more than a minute via some software that came with my iAudio. That'll be good for practicing for making real audition tapes at school.

I've decided that I need to relax and take things as they come, otherwise I'll never have time for the moment and lose lots of opportunities for fun.

Things to do this weekend:
- Start Sara's birthday present
- Rough draft of Gatsby essay
- First complete draft of Wooster College Scholar essay
- Chemistry homework (lab write-up, packet, and those problems for Tuesday)
- Make a decent recording of Rose etude #17
- Make that majors-degrees-careers chart thingy for parents

ETA: Gah, gah. Wooster essay turning out very strangely - mix of seriousness and sarcasm. Hard to straighten out. Sarcasm could come off as sardonic, cynical, etc. College books say "avoid humor and sarcasm unless you can pull it off effectively." How does one know if it's effective? Oh, frick on a stick.
