Hmm, the Oxford Comma does looks funny sometimes, although I do think it’s correct.

Anyway, that’s pretty much what I did this weekend. On Thursday I auditioned for CYS. On Friday my brother and I went to the OOTFA State Fiddle Contest. Boy, fiddle contests are such fun. In the solo division I placed 6^th, and in the twin (duet) division my brother and I placed 8^th. People seemed to like the twin, though, even if the judges didn’t.

On Sunday, after being up until 12AM at the contest on Saturday, CJS (Corvallis Junior Symphony) had their concert. Man, we had a lot of music: Star Wars, parts of the 1812 Overture, the entire William Tell Overture, Gayane, a Mozart Piano concerto, and Scheherazade. The whole concert was about 1 hour 15 minutes long. (!!!)

I’m way to tired to post anything coherent now, but I thought I’d post this up anyway.

Oh, and check out Earthcore by Scott Sigler. You need to register to download the MP3s. It’s a great story, though.

It’s amazing what you find on your backup CDs sometimes:
<>!*”# ^@`$$- *!’$_ %*<>#4 &)../ {~ **SYSTEM HALTED

In other words:
waka waka bang splat tick tick hash
carat at back-tick dollar dollar dash
splat bang tick dollar underscore
percent splat waka waka number four
amperstand right-paren dot dot slash
curly bracket tilde pipe
splat splat crash

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is: High-Level Nerd. You are definitely MIT material, apply now!!!.

*Sigh*, I must be bored.
In case you want to see how nerdy you are.

I finally got around to upgrading this blog to Wordpress 2.0.2 from 1.5.0. I’ve wanted to do it for a long time because Akismet (an anti-spam tool) requires that you have at least 1.5.2. Usually, upgrading Wordpress would be easy, however because I feel a need to make everything complicated, my install of wordpress is somewhat hax0red for boring stuff like “Now Playing” and a few other changes.

Not that it looks any different…oh, I should really make a real design for this blog sometime.
