um what's happening?

were the words that came from my mouth as the hair stylist applied hot wax on select locations on my forehead. she had just finished the usual shampoo after the cut but this was an unsolicited and unexpected service. she is a band parent so i'm sure it was done as much out of amusement as it was kindness. it was a rather tame in relative terms of the procedure but very strange as i would have never anticipated being part of such a thing. oh well, this should provide insight to the status of my non-working life that an event like this would merit a blog post.

other news:
junior high contest was two weeks ago and went ok but not as well as we had hoped. the high school bands go tomorrow. should be interesting to see my group of zombies at 6:40 am.

eric case is moving on from google. it has been a brilliant adventure for him and i have enjoyed following along (although often confused by the technical jargon) from a distance.

the kolsch turned out fine but not quite to the level of the brown ale. i think a raspberry wheat is next for the H-brewery.

the sox have been on tv three times in the last week so it has been nice to watch a few games although they just lost a shootout to the evil yankees.

indoor drumline championships were march 29th. we had our best show of the year and finished third in our class. we are a little miffed about finishing behind a show based on the tortoise and the hare but that is just the way it goes sometimes. being the only 3A school in our class, it was nice to bring our hillbilly operation down to houston and hang with (a whip up on some) 4A and 5A schools.
