So, I'm sitting in the front room of my house wasting time waiting for my next oboe student who's lesson was supposed to be at 11am. Now, his lesson in usually at noon but I bumped it up an hour because my 11 o'clock student had her last lesson last week.
He didn't show up at 11am. I though, maybe his mom forgot that his lesson is at 11am this morning.
In the mean time I made zucchini bread.
Now noon has come and gone and he's still not here. In normal circumstances I would call him mom and inform her that her son was missing his oboe lesson. However, this is his last lesson since next week I moving down to LA and I will no longer be teaching in San Jose.
It's now 20 after and I'm thinking I'm not going to call. If he misses his last lesson he misses his last lesson. I'm not going to make it up. I don't live here anymore.
But it is strange to me that he would miss his very last oboe lesson.

Whatever...

Tonight I ate some popcorn that was sent to me from a friend of mine who lives in Chicago. It is called lady finger popcorn and is the smallest popcorn I have ever seen.

It's adorable.

All my energy went to Sarah for pretty much this entire week. The moment I stopped to realize what was going on all my emotions rushed out my eyes. I was a mess.

Congrats!

Stolen from my mom, 2wanda.

1.) I'm 100% OCD when it comes to eating rice. It has to be PLAIN. No butter, no anything! It can't even TOUCH other foods.

2.) I am a HORRIBLE passenger. I think I get it from my mom.

3.) I don't like to eat hamburgers or burritos. I feel nauseous after I eat one. In addition to that, the smell alone of cooked salmon makes me feel like I'm going to vomit. But I love raw salmon.

4.) Ben and I have nightly "reading time." We just finished the Earthsea cycle and yesterday was the beginning of Catch-22.

5.) I don't ware deodorant - I spray perfume in my armpits. This is due to the fact that antiperspirants make my armpits brake out in a rash and all other deodorants don't work. And I feel as if I've tried them all.

Ha! That was fun.

It's almost here...

I'm about to pull my hair out.

This is enough to make me never want to become an event planner. Plus, it's ruining me for ever want to throw a big party ever again. However, I know that the outcome will probably make me forget all this misery and I will someday, unknowingly, do it again to myself.

In other news, I just finished a great book: The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It's very bitter-sweet. It's very cute too. But I think it hit a little close to home.

In addition, yesterday was Ben's birthday. We went to this awesome German restaurant, Suppenkuche in Hayes Valley in San Francisco. It wasn't as good as the real thing but it was pretty damn close.

Then we crossed the bridge over to Oakland to catch Marian McPartland at Yoshi's. It was pretty cool to see an 89 year old woman play the piano. She's kind of a legend in the classic swing style so it was a pretty good turn out for a Thursday night 10 o'clock show. She's there until the 29th if anyone want to go see her. It's not to be missed. By the way, she also hosts the Piano Jazz hour on NPR. Not bad for an 89 year old.

I guess that's all for now. It's good to be back on LJ. :o)

Fucking, Austria.
