Sunday: A Musical End to a Musical Weekend

Friday was the Spring Concert (where I was extremely tempted to start singing Friday but exercised an immense amount of self-control), and that was just getting started.  We Are the World, Hallelujah (yeah, from Shrek), and then the Choir sang Lean on Me… that was a fun night for the musically obsessed.

Saturday, as mentioned, was the Brad Schoener Music Marathon (in case you live under a rock and don’t know Brad Schoener was a music teacher in Upper Darby who died of cancer a few years ago.  He was so dedicated to music and his students that there are more events every year celebrating him than Santa Claus).  Anyway, Mel did her solo, my sister preformed, and the Sousa Band rocked with the awesome guy with the awesome hair.  False Judgment Day was also a musical day.

And now Sunday, which started off with me getting my first paycheck (wahoo!) and learning that a church has about fifty different thermostats and about as many circuit breakers, ended the weekend with a nice touch.  After work there was this thing (also at the church, except it was the school) called Cowpie Bingo… completely disgusting yet apparently fascinating to some people.  But I didn’t even stay to see the cow.  Instead I just watched my other best friend (and originally the sole reader of my other blogs) Hope preform a pair of amazing songs while one of her friends tried to run me out of town (long story).  I’m serious, I would buy these songs if I had to… they’re that good.  This is the kind of weekend that makes me wish I kept playing piano… but that’s also a story for another time.  A pretty boring one too.

The last notice for Sunday night… I’ve finally found a movie I liked more than the book (and this was by a landslide, no question about it).  In layman’s terms, James Bond books suck.  I’ve only read one and it was so bad I didn’t even think about the next.  By comparison, the 2006 adaptation of Casino Royale was so much better than the book that I can’t even call it an adaptation.  As far as I’m concerned that book never existed.  Bond was meant for the big screen.

So, without a song or link to keep you interested, I guess this is goodnight.  Sayonara.
