Apparently she hopes to hear me tomorrow as well. Promising and frightening. Let's see how it goes.

First day of state championships over. 4th out of 5 in the sprint but they were fun, 4th out of 5 in the 4km individual pursuit (bitterly disappointing as that has always been my favourite track event) but I did set a new personal best time of 5:21.323 (unfortunately that's about 12 seconds slower then we were aiming for).

I played a part of my piece for my teacher and he said he's willing to play it as a duet, but only if I write his parts as well.

but I did set a new personal best time of 5:21.323 (unfortunately that's about 12 seconds slower then we were aiming for).

What was your previous record?

[RelentlessOblivion]

I hadn't raced that event with my current pilot officially before. The time I put in last year was 6:11.659 but with a female pilot who had no experience on the track.

State championships concluded today with the Ikm time-trial. A new best time of 1:17.101 (three seconds faster then my previous best) was an encouraging finish to the competition. My goals for next year are rather ambitious: a 1km time of 1:06 and a 4km time of 4:55. Not really interested in the sprints.

Had a long day at the track

What track is this?

[Iceni]

I just decided to try listening through Aberrant Vascular's album Aegisthus. For some reason I remembered I'd glossed over it, maybe because the songs were too long. It's been awesome so far, that vocalist is wasted in Thaurorod. Also Wormed and Quadrivium showed up in the recommendations so I'm giving them a shot. Quadrivium is very elegant, great stuff; Wormed is a lot of fun and I've only heard three minutes. Granted, that's because they don't do one thing for longer than 10 seconds but that's fine with me...they manage to make these goofy grunts and slams into something genuinely enjoyable.

[MacabreEternal]

Of the material I have of Wormed "Exodromos" is the best album. That combination of brutality and technical ability coupled with pig grunts is a satisfying combo.

[FatherAlabaster]

A few of my more slam-death oriented friends are really into them. I still haven't checked them out, but I'll try and have a listen soon.

So.....I have realized something.......whenever I go home to see family now, I am a looottt more quiet than I used to be around them, and overall "different." I also think I possibly come off arrogant around them because I tell them a lot about things that I do not think they know. haha, anyone else like that who have not lived around family for awhile?

But it's not exceptional in any way and I haven't got anything to say to them anyway.

Yeah, they just talk a lot about my baby niece and things she does, and since I am not heavily into children (although I loovveee my niece), I am not as "excited" as they are about seeing her doing different things and stuff. It also pains me to see how they are still, like my mom getting furious at some guy stealing her parking space at the store when she waited for 5 minutes for it with her blinker on....like mom.....5 minutes waiting for a damn close spot when you could have walked your ass and been done shopping already? This is what I mean. haha

[Midi]

That's silly to get mad about if you ask me. My parents gets frustrated very easily too.

We have a lot of things in common, and I've certainly gotten used to having decent conversations with them when we do disagree. I just wind up making fun of my mom a lot. We've certainly had times when we didn't get along very well, but all in all I wish I lived closer to them. We pretty much only see each other for about a week once a year.

I mean like....I might had said something to the guy, like "excuse me but I was waiting here for 5 minutes did you not see my blinker on?" In a non angry way,,but see the thing is after waiting only 30 seconds and no more for the pokey mother fucker to actually leave from their spot, I would had driven off and just walked half mile instead. Apparently she saw him in the store too and was saying stuff like "THERE IS THAT ASSHOLE" to my little sister. I would had been embarrassed of her typical walmart shopper attitude and walked home.

See my moms side bitches at everything, and while I am not an angel, I always realize how much better I have become with that sort of thing by NOT living with them.

That's what my mom would do

When my mom told me I felt bad for the GUY. haha

[FatherAlabaster]

Not really. My mom's gotten kind of bitchy and weird sometimes, but I just ignore it. She has poor social skills.

I am not an angel

Say never so!

Just finished, finally, my first classical symphony piece in three movements. The second movement was a bitch and held me up almost a year. Now to notate it for orchestra in Finale...oh, and re: bad drivers-nobody seems to use their freaking blinker here in Tennessee so my wife pulls up to them and sweetly tells them their blinker is broken and they should have it checked. Heh.

I need to figure out how to score for strings; there's a chance the quartet I'm working with would be willing to play some of my stuff, if I could present them with a score.
