Geesffvoxasyiody

This is to be the name of my future cat. Jonathan and I invented this name in a collaborative effort (ie. each of us taking turns to hit random keys on my keyboard). I think it's great. Now all I need is a cat. And a nickname for that cat because I haven't yet figured out how to pronounce that name. My initial nicknames are Geesie and Yiody (i'm sure you can figure out where I got those from). Feel free to add some more to the comments for this post.

Today was busy. We had to be at the church at 3 p.m. for a pre-concert orchestra rehearsal. Our concert started at 4 p.m. (well, actually just a few minutes past 4 since no respectable Adventist event should dare start on time) and ended about 5:45 p.m. I thought the concert, as a whole, went pretty well. Our first piece probably shocked the entire audience a bit, which is why they might not have clapped long enough to give the first soloist a curtain call but, as my older brother pointed out during intermission, she cleaned up on the flowers front so I guess that equaled out the no-curtain-call thing. All seven of the soloists did pretty good on their pieces and there weren't any memory slips or huge mess-ups (from either the soloists or the orchestra) that I could tell. After the concert I went and talked to my older brother and his family, who came to our concert since it was earlier in the afternoon than usual, and then I had to go.

A little later Jonathan and I came back to campus and had a exemplary (and completely filling) meal in Tuscany (ie. the Presidential Banquet room). It was a new experience for me, but it was a good time and, like I already mentioned, the food was amazing. I just want to let everyone who reads my blog know that I love Fettucini Alfredo! Always have, always will. Those Italians are some great food-inventors!

  2. I wish I hadn't had to work until 5:00, or else I would have come to your concert, since I love listening to you all!

  3. That's actually a really good name. Perhaps if he becomes a famous composer....hehe. :)

    I loved the concert! I think it's my favorite concerto one that they've had all four years of my experience here. I just didn't like the first song...

    Yeah, and I felt bad for the first soloist too because I know her. She actually goes to my home church, so I also happened to know all of the flower-givers as well...

  4. Once again, my words have been stolen by the previous commentators. Oh well. I enjoyed this post, and I'll find you a cat if that's what it takes...
