But! I have been setting up my beautifully awesome desktop. Only thing that kinda really sux is that the internet doesn't really work on that computer. X.x So um... yeah it kinda defeats the purpose of having a desktop in my room (sorta). I think I'm going to move the wireless router so I get better reception in my room.
Ok now I'm boring myself.
I guess I could talk about my job situation. Honestly, I've lost motivation to work. I honestly, just want to roll around and scrape by with my one tutoring class a week. It's really nice. But I don't have any money now so I really do need to start working. I've half-assedly been searching and I have a 4 week temp job with my old workplace in a week so that'll be good. I dunno I've just been so apathetic lately. MEH! I blame it on visiting family. We're doing too many cool things together hehe~
Like today, we went to this Christmas concert. It was the Seoul Choir or something (I dunno how to translate it) but honestly, they weren't very good. I think that I've started to become a little pretentious about these things (which is terrible) but I just caught little things here and there that just made me realize I don't ever want to see this group perform again. Like the concertmaster had a solo - for something like away in a manger or some random carol and he just sounded awkward. He had another solo during the encore (which honestly there shouldn't have been one...) and he played so much better! I don't know what was going on but then there was also an organ and when it first was playing it was ridiculously loud. Don't they like figure all that stuff out before the concert? For some reason I got the sense that they didn't practice as much as they normally would've because the music they were playing was easier and it shows that there's a lack of professionalism with this orchestra. The choir was fine I thought though the altos could've been a little louder (but I think it's because I'm used to hearing the altos since I sing alto at church...). I dunno, I think I'm being too critical but I mean I general don't pick up on too many of these things but there was a lot for this concert (I could go on but I won't). Otherwise, I'd have to say the medley that they chose really brought out the brass section (they were pretty good) and the first flutist was really good. OO and the violas had a mini "solo" so that was really cool. Also, the percussion section definitely had some cool parts and they had a harp for one of the medleys. I like harps. :D
I still think Handel's Messiah sounds better with a full orchestra and choir (even though it wasn't originally written for one) because of the nature of the piece. Meh. Still a decent performance, I thought.
Meh.
Ok I'm still bored. I'm going to go to bed or watch some anime or something.
