Music: Miles To Go, which I finally heard. Thanks Amanda for the link.
I figure it's finally time to let you people know what's up. Went to Pittsburgh the 27th of December through the 4th of January. A good time was had by all. It barely snowed Tuesday. Don't get me wrong, it was cold and snowing, but not enough to make a snowman or snowangel or something. So Tuesday was the coldest day; that night me and Karen went to Wildwood Highlands for snow tubing. That was awesome. So fun. Big hill, like HUGE. I was really scared at first, because it's kind of intimidating standing on ice at the foot of this huge hill you're about to go screaming down, but it was so much fun. We also had a good time staying up almost every night into the wee hours of the morning playing game after game of parcheesi. We played a bit of trivial pursuit and outburst as well. Monday night there was a bible study christmas party at their house. So we spent all day cooking and setting up for that, then people showed up and we ate dinner, kids in the family room, adults in the dining room for gossipping. Very amusing. We watched some tv, including a two hour special about the Press Your Luck scandal on the Gameshow Network. That's very interesting. Kinda creepy actually. The guy was totally insane, but that stuff always interests me. If you have not seen the movie Quiz Show go see it. Now. We also spent a lot of time shopping. Went to Sal's, Plato's Closet, and a few malls. We went to this one store, Pawdaddy's, it's an indoor craft fair. It was really cool. That's pretty much all we did. It was fun just hanging out. Now I'm going to post a few inside jokes and memories from the trips, just for my own records. Don't expect to understand them.

"How do you get home from Beaver Falls??" "I think we're approaching Ohio!" "No, wait, we see a sign! It says...William Flynn Highway!"
"OMG, what if I hallucinated the Steak and Shake?! How will we ever find them?! Oh, it's right by Ikea."
Walking right past Hot Topic
Maz hating Gary
New Year's pretzel
Gary, on his return from work New Year's Eve: "I smell like a bar"
"It's such a nice day out. There's not a cloud in the - oh wait...nevermind."

Monday after I got back I just kinda....slept. Tuesday started back up school, not much to write about there. But it did start my music appreciation class at PBCC. It's...interesting. When we got there, (we being me, krystle and jonide) this one guy was talking to us. He had obviously failed the class atleast once, and told us that the professor was a real flake and we would know what he was talking about as soon as he walked through the door. Boy was he right. He also told us that we would be fine. "Just dont be a smartass and you'll be alright." This class looks so easy though. We spent 15 minutes trying to teach this one lady why a trombone can't play a chord. Special. We have to write three papers, which were sort of making me nervous, until I found out that they were 2 pages each, double spaced, about any musical experience. Oh boy. Haven't had too many of those.. *rolls eyes*

That's all I can think of right now to write, but this will be a progressive entry, mostly only the list of Pittsburgh things, so don't pay attention to it unless your last name is DeBaldo, because you won't get it. Atleast not all of them.

Glad you had fun in Pittsburgh, it sounds like it was an awesome time. ...What's in Plato's Closet? o.0

Dude, can a musical experience be when that guy came in and yelled at Mr. Lerner right before the winter concert? He was conducting while it happened, right?

Plato's Closet is a store that sells clothes from other stores like American Eagle, Aéropostale, Gap, etc, but a lot cheaper than in those stores. It's good for people like me who are extremely cheap. But, for example, while we were there Karen bought a monkey purse for $4. Rock.

No, he said that it has to be about like what the music sounds like. He was telling us that if we write about like a concert we went to or something like that, "I don't want to read about the band jumping up and down on stage; I dont want to read about the people in front of you doing ecstacy. It has to be about how the music sounds." Eh, whatever..
