Hi,
There is some TV show on about soup making. The guy is referring to the broth as “Manish water”
This week has worked out nicely, minus class. Tuesday we started our “color design project”. It started at 10 when we met up in a room and then talked about what we were going to do, go to the museum. Before we left, my teacher started saying something about this Harry Potter store near the British Museum. I went with Betsy and Zoe, and somehow instead of trying to get to the library, it was more important to find this Harry potter place. We found it, and it was an expensive art store with lots of drawers. The British Museum was nice and we got two guided tours, the first of which was on Africa, and the second on Mexico. Some horrible thing in the gift shop told me not to eat my cranberry / turkey sandwich in there, so I went out and waited for friends to stop shopping. As I sat there crinkled up in the corner, I saw about 99% of my class. They saw me as well: alone, sitting on the floor of a huge museum of a sandwich. After that, we split up and Betsy and I went to Boots to get print outs of our photos. There was a screaming baby there. The photo machine was fun to use. After that I told her about the place where I was going to get clarinet lessons and she wanted to find some jazzy singing classes. We headed for City Lit College. It was hard to find but on the way there, we convinced Graham H. Locke of Graham Carpets that we needed to redo our backroom. How big is this room? 600 sq. meters I said. He said no way and that I didn’t have a room that big. So we asked about pile and padding to redeem ourselves. It takes approximately 10-14 business days for the plaid carpeting to come in. It’s “flamboyant” and “over the top”. “especially for a 600 sp. Meters.” So we get to City Lit and it is so well organized, and nice and big and clean, the opposite of our real college. There were two people at a help desk specifically assigned to answer questions. IT JUST SO HAPPENED that in 45 minutes, there was some lady coming in on behalf of the music dept to answer specific music questions. We waited around, had water, and talked to some lady drawing triangles. When it came time to meet with music lady, we were first in line. I asked my questions. She set me up for an audition for the next day to see if I’d fit in with the advanced clarinet class. Then, since Betsy is a singer and doesn’t need equipment, had an audition on the spot!! She was “rusty” she said. She kind of waved her hands around when she sang and cleared her throat and said “o dear” when bad notes came. She sounded good though! The lady said she’d be best suited for Jazz Singing 1.
Wednesday I went and auditioned, and got into the class. She said I am grade 8, but I doubt it. Grade 8 is pretty high. Then I went and saw some contemporary galleries for homework. By went and saw, I mean, everything was either closed, being renovated, or other examples of not being open. The day was worthless and I got nothing done. MANISH WATER AGAIN!!! I came home and went to band. We started Christmas songs cause our concert is next week. It is so fun. At one point, the director came over and sat next to me and asked me to play sax parts on some jazzy number because there are only 2 altos and neither are “spot on”. In one week, I’ll be Eb, Bb, and Eb alto.. HAHAH.. We started one of my all-time favorites, which is Christmas Spectacular, which starts off with a ridiculous sfortzando piano thing. It is by Leroy Anderson. My brother is also obsessed with it. It is amazing on Eb. It is weird when you really like the music how easy it is to play. I told this old wise proverb to the oboe player and she agreed. Then she offered me some Ricos for sax. “I overheard the saxophone conversation.” She said she ahs a blue saxophone. Godspeed.
Today I brought my no-work to class to have a no=conversation. After that, Eureka and I went to an Alien exhibit at a museum. We had lunch at the café, she having two silver fish (spitting out bones) and me having vegetable lasagna. She told me that one time she found 10 pounds on a table at a restaurant and kept it, suggesting that it was stealing. Then I asked her what she did with it, and she said “I gave it to a charity because I was nervous.”
