mom: “aha! now i know why you’re still taking roller derby photos even though you’re done with your photojournalism class!”
oh, mom… hahaha…
i can’t wait until open skate on thursday! before that, i’m only working until 1 pm, and then from 3 to probably about 5 or 6 i’m going to be working with the metro collective folks to start my internship. look, the webpage is up! that’s what i’m going to be taking care of as a result of my photojournalism class. the funny thing is that i just looked at the site for 10 seconds, realized it was done with wordpress, and then hax0red my way into finding where the login screen is. bahahaha, now i know where i’ll be logging in. er… right.

dad gave me $100 to go towards my new used oboe and said that he expects to hear some tootin’, haha… i found my old practice books and some sheet music from back in high school (including a song i did for the solo and ensemble festival one year, a few songs by some classmates of mine in our senior year that they had to write and conduct for their theory class, a version of sousa’s “liberty bell march” that i had transcribed, and the sheet music to “goober peas”… because everybody knows that the oboe was the preferred instrument of the confederate army :P). now i just need to see about finding someplace to practice occasionally — i’m thinking of investigating the practice rooms back at umbc.

the curling club is planning a golf tournament, and a simultaneous mini-golf tournament. i’ll have to keep that in mind.

a thought occurred to me today — if, as my photojournalism instructor told me, we work on submitting my derby photos to some internet magazine for possible publishing, and if, say, i were to put together some writing to go along with said photos… i should totally work harm city homicide and my roller derby aspirations in there somehow — that’d be taking gonzo journalism to a whole new level, haha! “roller derby is decadent and depraved”, perhaps?? too bad i won’t be going to rollercon this year, then i could do “fear and loathing in roller derby”, bahahaha… it’d be chuckles to say the least!
