Okay.
I stumbled across this blog today.
And they had posted this video.
Its a 21st century commercial and it always gets my attention because..well...there's a cello case in it.
Heh.
And then I got linked to this video which is just..hilarious.
"the cello, slightly bigger with a spike at the bottom that kills you"
Hey!
I have a questrion for you all.
I feel like I should do set weekly posts.
Like one day a week do a post on music, and another day do a post of quotes and the like.
Thats all I can think of right now.
Ideas? comments? thoughts? What days I should do it?
Leave a comment, let me know. :)

I am such a music nerd
Currently: watching M.A.S.H.
I am such a music nerd. I've known this from the day i switched from Violin to cello and knew it "fit me better" but here's more evidence.
My friend got me into this Anime called Princess Tutu. And after watching the first six episodes at his house, I watched the rest online and finished it the other night. It ended happy, but bittersweet. I was close to crying and laughing and..everything.
It has an abundance of Tchaikovsky music in it.
Whenever I watch, I feel the need to fall asleep to Tchaik. and then end up dreaming about ballerinas and ducks and then it turns into even weirder dreams.
I have cd's full of just Bach and Mozart. Whenever I choose those to fall asleep to, I get lost in the music. There's one cello solo suite by Bach that makes me dizzy just laying in bed.
And finally. Chopin. I went to the library yesterday and picked up a Chopin CD. App, its a 2-disk set. I laid in bed till like 3 not sleeping with the first cd on repeat and all I could think was "Chopin isn't a great composer to fall asleep to". So then I put in the second one and eventually fell asleep.
the thing that kind of shocked me, I was looking on the back of the cd. Chopin was around in the early 1800's. He was 39 when he died.
Thats kind of crazy. But for some odd reason it explained his music to me. His age.
And then another random thought: while listening to all the piano in his music and reading his amall bio, i thought "This is the kind of composer I would fall for. If I had been around in that time"
Gah. Haha. I know. Im a geek.

Topol's Voice is a spinning record in my head. I love it.
For those on facebook
Before I go Topol crazy-recap of weekend.
Thursday---College group-Tripping over myself while playing ninjas and coming home to find my fever spiking.
Friday---Katie and her little sister came over. We got in the pool swam talked, switched to hot tub. and back and forth once more. I actually sat out for a bit and read some more of HP6. went inside, they helped me beat more of Kingdom Hearts, we ate domino's for dinner and their dad picked them up.
Saturday--Woke up, figured out when Tom was getting in, at 11:30 me and mom got him the train. Came home, got dressed and left him to eat whatever and have alone time. Family (mom, dad, bro, me) went to uncle's and then late aunt's brothers place for a small family potluck type thing. My aunt hadent wanted a service of any kind but she loved parties and family getting together. It was fun-interesting- to talk about this and that.
Left at 6ish, came home and wasnt there for long and then mom dropped me and tom in Vista so we could see HP6 (we had cheap tickets for the theater there). We ate before (Okay -he ate, I watched and stole random peices of orange chicken) and then we watched it. My review of that movie is an entirely other post. Let me say this-I enjoyed Luna's outfits. Got out at 12:30, parents picked us up. came home, went to bed.
Sunday---Got up, got ready, mom took me and tom to church. Hung out talked with friends till service. It was a "Grilled Sunday"-they grill the meat, everyone brings some kind of dish.Service was even outside under tents. Much fun to just sit and play the "word Association" game. Heh. Tangents. Love it.
Went home, rested for abit, then Mom, Karl, Tom, And I got in the car to go downtown San Diego. Mo got the tickets and then we ate at Dennys where Tom told me i was loiekly he going to steal my fedora and kept me from falling asleep while waiting for out food. then went and saw Fiddler.
oh my goodness. Okay-we had like at the top, cant see their faces, nosebleed seats. It was amazing. Just to like hear Topol's voice and know that it was him speaking at that moment now-amazing. worth it. Freakin love it.
And just to see the differences between movier and play. I loved it. I sang with every song and even spoke with some lines.
And its a bit embarassing-but I was majorly tearing up at the end of it and when Topol came out-we were all standing and applauding him.
Gah.
Fiddler always makes me feel more fermented in my beliefs and my faith.
And Topol is just-he IS that role, you know? Something about his face, his looks, the way he says the lines, it adds something. Its just freaking amazing.
I can't get over it. I just can't. I love Topol's voice. Heh.
