The Yodeling Nazi
And she has the internet at her fingertips again! FWOOSH!
Uh, yeah.
So today I had my first bassoon lesson. *snort* It was hallarious. Mr. Hinds and I spent the first ten minutes trying to figure out how to put the damned thing together. Then it was:
Hinds: So you put your bassoon in this strap thing, and you sit on the other end of the strap so it supports the instrument.
Me: Oh my gosh, no. I am not using a butt-strap.
Hinds: It's not a butt-strap. It's a strappy thingy that you sit on.
And then it was a lesson of "You put your lips together like this and blow." and "Don't get your hair caught in the reed. It's bad for juju."
Then it took half an hour to put the thing away because there are three bassoons and we had two of them out, interchanging parts between the three. And when you go to put it away and it won't fit in the case, then it's not a good thing.
OH! Sara and I went to the play last night, blasting the yodeling song from the Sound of Music. Mall heard us screaming to it. The play was interesting- good, but depressing.
And I got dissed by Martin, the exchange student from Slovakia again.
