wasting time...

i spent the morning with my allergist.
he's a funny little chinese man with an office on the 14th floor of a building on Broadway.
he said i should listen to a Norweigan singer named Sissel, because she sings like an angel.
just wait'll he hears me sing.

ps...i'm still allergic to grass and dust. and i'm going back on the allergy shots.
western medicine may be evil, but it's more fun than being sick all the time.

i do know that she was born on feb. 21, 1933 as eunice waymon, in tryon north carolina.
ha!

new day

i'm writing a research essay on nina simone.
The problem is, not many people have written books about her.
Pretty much just she has. An autobiography. It makes research kind of tough.

sometimes i am so cool

i always get inspired to blog when i'm on the bus, driving, almost asleep, showering, sitting in ear training/sight singing, picking my nose...
and when i get to this page is all flits away.
maybe i need to keep a hardcopy blogging journal.

the guy across from me has short hair. he's wearing a headband.

weird.

note: it's been realized by some of the population that I am not a pansy.

cheers.

He saw me from the cross.

Hey yo. I just came across this letter. I wrote it while I was on my dts as part of a weekly assignment we had to do.
read on!

Dear Dad,
I have fallen in love! Long dark (lice -infested) hair, deepy brown eyes, a beautiful smile (full of rotting teeth). Beautiful skin (except for a few scabs on her legs), bright-coloured clothing (albeit a litle dusty and dirty).
Her name is Kristalina. She's the sweetest girl ever, rather like that Melinda I brought home a few years ago. Remember how smelly she was? I was so tuched when you took her from my arms and held her in your lap. You stroked her hair as she sobbed, and wiped her snot and tears all over you. But still you held her, talked with her~youlistened so intently, never taking your eyes off hers, though at times she could hardly look at You. It was a beautiful thing to watch.
Well, I think she's learned~or is beginning to learn~how to share that love with others. She loves holding Kristalina. Melinda was a bit turned off at first, but after thinking about You, she held that little girl close.
I'm so glad she's learning! She's got a long way to go, but I think she'll only get better at it as se understands your love more and more.
That's all for now,
Love, Jesus
