9/15/07 - 1/29/09 Forever???I understand this is a long time for a fish to live. She was a good pet.
Turns out, Gudrun was not dead. I was about to fish her out for a burial-at-sea, and lo, the bitch swam away from me! She is super old, though. I thought she was dead-- she's very pale, and she floats at a total 90 degree angle in the tank. Although she can definitely swim, and use all of her body, she seems to be too tired to put in the effort to use her rear fins unless she absolutely has to.
Ah well, I'm happy she's alive. I got Gudrun within weeks of moving to Somerville, and she's just always been there. Like furniture. The idea of living in Somerville without her was kind of bumming me out!

A B&E?
On Sunday, last Sunday, I had to go to CCTV, even though it was closed, to teach a make-up lesson in remedial computer skills to some elderly people. It was snowing a lot, and very cold. And also, CCTV was closed because it was the MLK holiday weekend, and they expected me to open up shop and just teach the class. Okay. But people failed to prepare for the fact that CCTV has a burglar alarm, and I don't have the code to disarm it, and so instead of teaching class, I almost got arrested for breaking and entering.

Jonny is mad at me because I'm a flake
Jonny was supposed to visit me in Somerville, but I had to cancel on him, opting to go up to New Hampshire yet again and bang on a tree.

In other news, the Young Composers Festival is coming up, kids, and I'm performing a piece I'm composing for a prepared piano (piezo mics and Pure Data strike again!) The working title of my composition is "Motherboy XXX" (so far, that's all I've got— please someone help me come up with a better title?)
I'm nervous about performing: this will be the first time I've performed at a piano since 6th grade, when I had to play the national anthem infront of the whole school and I started trembling uncontrollably. But even then, I chugged through, sour notes and all. Fast forward 10 years and there I am with Vicki, making a fool out of myself and laughing when Windows crashes while I'm on stage. So yeah, whatever happens, it'll be an interesting performance. You should come down!
