taxes, death, and generic soda

apparently the great plains don't want to cut the umbilical cord yet.
this summer i'm slated to build some railroads in North Dakota, and Minnesota.
how excited am i to do this you ask?

...i like money.

hopefully i'll be able to save enough to pay for some tuition. and if not some tuition...then maybe some pizza.


Michael S. sent me the first version of the 2nd 1 In 9 trailer...it's grrrrreat.i have begun scoring it and 4 hours in...writer's block. actually, it's not that i'm not thinking of anything...it's that what i'm thinking of seems to suck. i'm still a scoring padawan though...so i will continue tomorrow after sleeping on it...and maybe the midi-chlorians will help me.

This sunday Ruth and i will be attending the Oregon Symphony playing Strauss' 'Don Quixote'. the saturday after we are performing Stainer's Crucifixion. Good stuff.

well...time to hit the dusty trail. perhaps back to the keyboard.

i am going to be a viking

last night i was contacted by a professor from PSU saying that i need not worry about being accepted, because i am in the good pile.

Good news. the satellite Nasa sent to Mars made it sucessfully. it made me think of this question.

if the citizens of earth met extra terrestrials would we change the names of planets, stars, galaxies, etc...to match those of the aliens...or would we make them change?
