Amusicality

The past two days have been greatly entertaining and musical. Thursday manifested itself as most epic nrb/karaoke night ever, thus far.

Crowning moment was everyone witnessing Ty's first time, during which he stole the show for a good 5-6 song block with magical gems like: "Umbrella", "Roxanne", "Part of Your World". Doesn't remember a thing. Amy and I reached the point of laughter where sounds don't even come out but tears do.

We tried a new place, though Feel has always been good to us, Soop Sok Music Studio offered a steal of a deal. Our group of 17 earned us a majestic and spacious room, perfect dance floor, tambourines that lit up like those sneaks you wore at four years old, rotating ceiling colored disco balls, a stage, large LCD, small screens all around. Most nice Korean NRBs are this equipped, but I'd never been able to take advantage of the larger rooms 'til now.

The party continued on Wilshire Blvd. all the way back as we actually took part in an immature, but so freakin' fun windows down, side-by-side, radio-blasting extravaganza. Of course Rach and I abided by the law at all times, stayed buckled, under limit. Late-night In N Out topped off the night perfectly.

This was only the beginning of epic karaoke. Mo' F'sho'.

Friday evening, I caught up with Mustardseed. Had a deeeeelicious NY Reuben at Urth, then wandered Beverly Blvd. a bit.  The night winded down and back up at Amy's with epic Rock Band, Uncharted the movie/the most engaging "video game" I'd ever witnessed, then a most welcome run to BCD on Wilshire.

It's been a good way to let go after a stressful and busy few weeks with papers and the less pretty side of CEC. Being a director definitely holds its perks but there's always the burden of responsibility. Despite all the obstacles so far, I appreciate the experience. Been dipping into the world of leadership, money management, negotiation, delegation, team dynamics, professionalism on a larger, college-level scale. Movin' up and movin' on from student council and ASB days!

Plus you can't beat the people. Love the people.


Week 5 and 6 might end me before 2012.
Three papers, two midterms, Boondock Saints II screening and panel, CMF judging, CMF finale, two $2 movies, Halloween? (least of my worries). Safe to say that I will be relieving major stress November 7-8. Two amazing shows, can't wait, though part of me would love to spend that weekend at home.

Now, with bruised hands from playing the karaoke tambourine and rock band enthusiastically, here goes...
