( The Article about The Blind School Marching Band. )
I have a few problems with this. First of all, I hope the band doesn't wear sun glasses, since that'll be another stereotype that people would have about us. Second of all, Dan Kelley is an asshole, and I have no problem admitting this publicly.
The last I heard of the band though, they sucked, so hopefully they've improved since the Youtube video that I watched having to do with them.
Here's a Youtube.

enjoy, or try to. Seriously, the instruments sound all out of tune. If they have perfect pitch, this shouldn't happen. And no auditions? Seriously? Is Dan Kelley that stupid? If I directed the band, i'd have only the best musicians play.

So, Christmas was just pretty much another day for Dad and I. I read two terribly stupid Meg Cabot books to pass the time. The two books in the "American Girl" series. If the Princess Diaries books are anything like the American Girl books I have no desire to read them. I like reading books about teenagers, just as long as they're not stupid whiny selfish teenagers. I also have Cabot's "mediator" series, but I'm hesitant to read those too. Now I'm going back and forth between "The Women of the Otherworld" books, and book five of "The Sword of Truth" series. I do also have the "House of Night" books by P.C. Cast, and Kristin Cast, and those actually seem pretty good. Vampire books, but not on the level of Twilight. Of course I could start those and not like them, but we'll see.
Dad made a Christmas dinner yesterday. Ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole (for me, since he doesn't like it), and rolls. It was a quite delicious dinner, and the left overs have been good as well. We didn't do anything about presents this year, but Christmas isn't all about presents. The people that think that it is are just selfish. I mean, seriously? Why does it take a holiday to get family together to have dinner? It's not like it's all that difficult. Tim said that he got me something, and I was actually rather surprised about that. I’m perfectly fine with not getting any presents this year, however, my birthday is a different story all together. Even if I get one Birthday present I'll be happy. I know that I'm going out with Ms. Brattain for lunch on my birthday, but other than that, I’m not sure what's going on. I don't even know what I'm doing for New Years.
Some point pretty soon, I think I'm going to go to PA, and visit Tim. I haven't seen him in over a year, and I miss him. I haven't exactly figured out when I’m going though. I'm sure it'll be a fun visit.
Suppose I'll go for now. Not sure what else to say.

Not really all that much to talk about. I'm liking the fact that I'm home, yet I miss Rachel. I know that I've only been home five days, but yeah.
Open mic Night was all right on Wednesday, so not all that much to speak of on that. A rather funny thing happened though. I was sitting there, and Nate walked up to me. He was like, "Gina, who's your favorite guitar player that comes in and plays at Eldo’s?" A pretty good musician had played right before him, so I was honest. I said, "Well, the guy that played just now was pretty good. Nate jokingly said, "Well, you're not my friend any more." Both Nate and Nick are my favorites, but both of them are different. I didn't know if Nate wanted an ego boost, or if he was just being silly, but I was being honest. if someone sucks, or isn't all that good, I’ll tell them. It's how I am. I might not flat out say, "Hey, you suck," but I'll say, "oh, well, it was ok," or something. Though it does depend on who I’m talking to. I'd expect someone would do the same for me. I don't know though, because people say that I can sing, yet I don't think I'm all that good. I've never been trained or anything, and when I hear my own singing I think that I sound like a little girl.
that Matt guy from a few weeks ago was there, and we talked a bit. We were talking about movies he's made, and I got rather confused, because he got a bit technical. I can't quite figure out if I like him or not. Sure, he's an all right guy, but I can't find common ground with him, so why be friends with someone I don't know what to talk about them with? He did stay to hear Nick and I sing however, and right before he left he gave me a sort of hug. I thought, "Oh, no, strange guy touching me, I'm not sure I like this." It ended up being all right though. Nick told me that us singing "Africa" was our best ever, and I was thrilled to hear that. I thought that all of our songs were pretty good however. Maybe one day I'll let the world hear them, but as of now, a select few people get to hear my treasures. If people ask though I’ll most likely send.
I'm currently reading "Divine Misdemeanors" which is merry Gentry book 8, by Laurell K Hamilton. I do believe that this might be my favorite book in this series. I've always liked Merry a lot more than Anita Blake, because Merry's not as much of a bitch. That, and I started this series from the very beginning in 2000, when "A Kiss of Shadows" came out. I'd accidently fallen asleep to it last night, and when I'd woken up, I learned a couple things about Doyle and Frost, my two favorite guards to Merry. I'm pretty curious to see how the events will lead up to what I'd read. Since she's in L.A. now. I hope that some of the detectives from book 1 are in the book. Too bad LKH wouldn't even bring Roane back even though he went back to the sea in book 1. He was still a sweetheart. I'd also like to see more of Barinthus, since he was Merry's dad's closest friend.
As far as Dad's recovery, he's doing pretty well, which surprises me. He's gone out to Zuey's a couple times, and has drank water. I do believe that this whole heart surgery may have done good for Dad as far as not drinking. I will be rather disappointed in him if he decides to start drinking and smoking. He did say that he hasn't felt the urge to drink or smoke since he's been in the hospital, I just hope that continues. He's doing well as far as taking his pills/blood sugar and all that. It seems to me like nothing's really wrong with him, except for the fact that I have to help him with laundry and such, but that's no big deal, I don't mind doing that at all. I'm just not looking forward to when the trash can gets terribly full, and I have to take that out. Hopefully it's not too heavy for me, but if so, I'll manage. I've dealt with worse.
I'm going to go back to my book now. I've taken too many breaks today as far as reading. I'm sure I'll update as soon as I finish the book. Yay for merry Gentry!
