Retitled: Did I mention I miss band? I must've... + dad proves his sillyness

It should be noted, I miss band all too much. Especially band in grade 11 because, my goodness, so much fun being around people my age for once (the then-grade 12s) and the bassoons (Mainly Mikey and Amy) stuffing things down mine and Oliver's hoodies during practice (Okay, so we were both a bit annoyed and Mr. Paddock must've thought we were nuts but meh)

So established fact: Is missing band and is itching to play the Bass clarinet again.

I've been having songs from as far back as grade 7 playing around my head like Anasazi, Steppes of Russia, In Memoriam, A Day at the Zoo, (something) Gloucester, that Sherwood song Second Suite, El Camino Real etc.

Other established fact: I also have French kindergarten songs playing about my head like songs with lyrics like : "Tous les légumes, au clair du lune (somethingsomething). Ils s'amusaient, comme ils pouvaient et (somethingsomething). Les cornichons, tournent en rond. Les haricots dansent avec les petits chots(?)" oh and "La téléphone sonne, vite je vais répondre: "Âllo? Âllo, qui est là?" "Bonjour, bonjour à toi, dis-moi comment ça va?" "Moi, ça va très bien!"

Other established fact: I need to go and look for orchestras to join in Ottawa and stop whining about how much I miss band.

Also, I might go to Montréal with the Club d'immersion in November I think...I'll check it out.

Also, I'm done midterms...I have learned that keeping up with the readings is in fact key to success on a test.

AND, I won't be getting my box of things from Calgary perhaps not until later this month or early November courtesy of dad being lazy and not having transferred my things from the original big box to some smaller box as per what he said he would do back in September. I have Vanccie on standby to go over to my house and do it but hopefully it won't get to that. (Watch as (if I do) I get back and it's still there in my room)

Isn't it sad that it's been over 2 months since I packed that thing and it hasn't been sent? I want my art things so I can draw again on the computer and I would like to know if I should be depressed or worried or happy if I backed up my photos from my other computer before the reformat of my laptop.

PS. Les Cowboys Fringants are incredibly amazing x infinity. I'm trying to prevent myself from getting another CD of theirs or getting a CD period.

PPS. I found an ad in a September issue of L'équipe (Sports paper from France) against corporations advertising on sports clubs' jerseys. (It's got a player wearing a hmm....pancarte littered with corporations' logos taking a corner kick and all the other players on the field are wearing pancartes littered with logos too)

Oh and new Doctor Who and Heroes tonight. I'm very much looking forward to that.
