you know, i love road trips. going to u-dub and playing with the u-dub husky marching band was so much fun, those guys up in seattle are all friggin' awesome. to the husky marching band: i love you guys because you know the definition of sportsmanship, friendship, and just plain old having fun. like your director said, it's great to have true friends. you guys are awesome, thanks for making the road trip such an experience -- especially for a cal band newman!

add barf bags to the list of random things that i collect. after, of course, the state quarters, pins, poopsheets, dave matthews band concerts, and quotes.

the next week will be some fun downtime. monday's showing up with a take-home math midterm and a five-page revision of an english paper, as well as rehearsal for sega (yeah, the videogame company) because we might be recording with them. either way, i'll get a free videogame, hehehe. it pays off showing up to all those shb's. and this friday... man, this friday will rock my socks off. (yeah rampant syphilis bus!!!)

brian says: Animal Crossing. If you have a Gamecube, and not this game, why don't you have this game??

i second that!

it's amazing how five-and-a-half weeks go by so fast -- the seniors in high school are all applying to colleges for nextfall, the freshmen in college are excited about spring semester, all the upperclassmen in college are getting older... it's surreal. hell, even today was surreal. this morning i was eating a waffle in a hotel next to the university of washington in seattle, this afternoon i was on a bus from oakland airport singing pregame, and now i'm blogging in my dorm room at cal. that, my friends, is insane.

it's also pretty great when the fact that the cal football team's win over u-dub (and therefore effectively ending the 19-year losing streak cal had against u dub) is an afterthought. we won (34-27), and my goodness, that was an amazing game. they had seated us on the track, right next to the football field. it made the game that much more fun to watch.

and today, the headline from the seattle times read: "California and bust. This was not a fluke: the better team won".

and that is why i love u-dub. it's like, uc-seattle or something. they're great. they know how to play and they know how to have fun, let alone treat their guests very nicely.

to u-dub and the husky marching band:
you guys are the best. i have never had so much fun playing outside of another group and having a blast with one so enjoyable as yours. washington and california, it's like peanut butter and jelly: you can't go wrong with one or the other, and when you have them together, it's oh-so-good.
