A picture of my new place. In da living room. You can barely make it out, but! there is a painting of an octopus on the wall in the living room. A comforting piece of art I must say.

KSTDT
This morning at EWEB I was making the rounds and letting the Kindergartners play the guitar. One looks up to me and asks..what do you do? I am a student...I said. Then another butted in and said...You're not a grown up? Nope...I proudly responded.
Tonight, I went to play their Holiday Concert. I thought, you know...maybe 20 people in the audience. Nope. Try 150! Holy smokes! And all were dressed up nicely. Me in my overalls and matted down hair from my sock hat. Woof. But all in a day's work. I had a ball. And the cookies were good too!
School is done for the moment. I get the urge to just be careless and be around people at the same time. We'll see what happens. It's been a most eggselent week, tho. Lots o' music. In every sense of the word. And now! this Sunday i'ma going to Vancouver, B.C.! to see my belovéd friend John D and his bro bro. Now I pack and wait to move next week into my new abode.
How did happen that I am listening to French hard rock all of a sudden?!?!?!?

Tis' the season for Christmas cookies, harmony, and getting trampled to death!
A very unhappy black friday to you all! Check it...
NEW YORK – Shoppers, who had snapped their wallets shut since September, turned out in force Friday to grab deals on the traditional start of the holiday shopping season, but it was clear worries about the economy tempered buying.
Preliminary reports from several major retailers including Macy's and Toys "R" Us said that crowds were at least as large as last year's, but many shoppers sounded notes of caution and concern.
Retailers extended their hours, some opening at midnight, and offered deals that were deeper and wider than the deep discounts that shoppers found throughout November.
Best Buy, which threw its doors open at 5 a.m. offered such specials as a 49-inch Panasonic plasma HDTV for $899.99 and a $189.99 GPS device by Garmin. Toys "R" Us was offering up to 60 percent discounts from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m.
But the excitement over the early morning specials proved fatal for at least one store. Police from Nassau County, N.Y. say a Wal-Mart worker died after being trampled by a throng of unruly shoppers shortly after the Long Island store opened Friday. Wal-Mart offiicals would not confirm reports of stampede, but said a "medical emergency" caused them to close the store.
Ellen Davis, a spokeswoman at the National Retail Federation, the industry's largest retail group, said that she was "not aware of any other circumstances where a retail employee has died working on the day after Thanksgiving."

The past couple of weeks I have been spinning in a high speed piano playing frenzy. Mighty nice if you ask me. I've learned heaps of new music (new to me at least). One of my professors here said once that quantity eventually equals quality. I think about that and how it pertains to piano playing and any art. At least from my experience it's been true. It's not that the more and more you do the better it will get. It's more along the lines that the more you put into something and more exposure you have with something (in this case, all kinds of piano-ings) yore bound to get better. It helps to have something pressing down on you to motivate.
But as for today, it's sehr nice to have nutin' to do. Things get done like laundry, naps, groceries. Chantrelle mushrooms were on sale and boy betcha they gonna be eatin' tonight. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Rumor has it that I will be the only member of the extended Coleman and Loper families that will not be in either household for the big day. Tear...sniffle...tear.
Instead I will be scooting down Highway 58 to Dexter where my pastor and his family live. They invited me over for eatin', nappin' and potential deer hunting! I am very excited about the prospect to do some hunting but have decided that I would be equally happy to just sit and eat. We'll see what tomorrow has in store.
In other news, I was gifted this painting that someone left in the hallway of the school of music during moving. Pretty cool, huh?
