MusicFest 2005
In the last week I've undertaken so much and I'm very happy about it. Allow me to start with MusicFest.
On Friday morning the band and choir took the ferry over to Vancouver. They parted and the choir and I headed out to FraserView church. En route, I pointed out every BMW, Mercedes and other decent car that I saw. We ate and heard some random anecdotes from Lee. There was some arguments about nationalities among the various caucasians in our choir. We listened to some other groups and then performed ourselves. It was a beautiful place to perform, because of the wooden shell and the Yamaha grand. I received the Yamaha honour award for our choir.
I proceeded with my mom to the Best Western where our choir was staying. I spend some time getting my key and then proceeded up to my room with a couple of people. Alana and I had a mini-argument before our band performed; however, that evening, we had a long excellent talk and walk around Richmond, entailing a stop at Save-On. After getting back to the hotel, we met up with Adam Cormier and went down to stage A. Keep in mind that this is sometime around 11:30 pm or midnight. Adam started playing the piano and eventually I joined in. He moved to the nice yamaha drum kit and we busted out for like an hour in the middle of the night. In my room were Adam, Cameron and Nyck. We had some random talks.
Saturday was ultra. It was an ultra day. I spent almost the entire day with Alana. We left the hotel around 10:30 to go to the shopping center where we remained for approximately 5 hours. I had a jugo juice protein shake to start my day. I ended up purchasing a zip-up athletic jacket and a pair of AE sandals. That evening occured the All-Star band performance including two Wellington students, Sarah Boyce and Emma Love. It was amazing. Alana saw some Port Alberni friends there, whom I happened to know from the Idaho band trip. Afterwards, we went to Boston Pizza and saw some other band members there. I neglected to succumb to ordering dessert; this was my big mistake of the day. :P I was tired of the boys in my room so I was glad to not have to put up with their antics too much. Actually, one part was funny when they called some random room and said, "Are you hot chicks?"
I was tired on Sunday, but it didn't stop the fun weekend from continuing. I sat with Alana on the ferry. That evening I went to Star Wars Episode III with her. Lee was randomly there. The movie was cheese, but the FX were crazy. I really wish my love could save people, but, unfortunately, only my new powers can do that. My sleep that evening was an insane 12+ hours.
Monday was Victoria Day. Victorian times are classic. I tutored Nestor and Miriam that day. I also biked over to Alana's place for a couple hours to study biology. Now I'm hoping that I'm all caught up in my classes.
As for my numerous undertakings, on top of accompanying violinists at their recital, I've also said I would play for some singers. One of the songs they want me to play has no time signature and was written in the 8th century. What the devil? Nestor wants 7 tutoring times for his TOEFL in the next 2 weeks. I'm going to UBC for Euclid Day on monday. That evening is also the senior band concert. I have driving lessons here and there, my test in the middle of June for my "N". I got accepted into Science One at UBC, but I'm leaning way towards SFU. Choir evening is June 1. Today was elementary school choir performances. I have a biology test on kidneys tomorrow. Luckily Calculus is easy. This Friday is Connie's birthday and the violin recital at which I must play. June 2 is district awards night. June 7 is Wellington's awards night. June 10 is that singing recital. One of the singers hasn't even got the music to me yet. Only one thing to say about that: $$$
Anyways, in my driveway right now is parked a BMW 733i (yr. 1979-1983 I think) and a new Honda S2000. I'm afraid I'd go for the BMW sedan, just because that is my style. Mreh 3.2 L V6 or a 2.2 L V4. Somehow the Honda has more hp than the Beamer. Probably just because it is newer. In Vancouver I saw tons of nice cars. Obviously like 10% of the people drive BMW's or Mercedes. I'm not a fan of the SUV's from those companies; however, I am a fan of the two BMW 745i that I saw. Beautiful luxury. 4.4L V8. I also saw two Porche Boxters. mmmm.
My mom is irked with my looking at cars while I drive. Oh yah, that reminds me. I saw a Ferrari while driving with my mom in Nanaimo. :D

What the heck?! BMW 733i over the Honda S2000... Just from googling the two cars I have to say the Honda is so much nicer (looks wise). A grad present or something? The nicest car I've seen in Nanaimo is a Plymouth Prowler. That car is SO nice. I have to say that the Mercedes are getting way too smaller for the starting end models.

P.S. Kudos for mentioning my birthday =] Hopefully the birthday dinner wasn't too awful.

Yeah, one of the guys in my sponsoring Rotary club in Nanaimo (the club that likes drinking in the afternoon & meets at the golf club) has a really nice car. One time this other guy was really stressed out, so he lent him it for the purposes of excessive speed to reduce stress. This form of therapy may be expensive, but it's likely quite effective.
'getting way too smaller', Connie? I shake my head.
"I really wish my love could save people, but, unfortunately, only my new powers can do that"
What new powers are those, Brad?
[possible response: What powers you ask? I dunno, how 'bout the power of flight?
That do anything for ya? That's levitation holmes.
How 'bout the power to kill a yak, from 200 yards away...
with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle.]
