hi. this week has been a pretty good week. On wednesday, I played at a piano festival, the Seattle Young Artists. I played four pieces: three Chopin Preludes and one Beethoven Sonata movement. I thought that I did very well, and the adjudicator had some good comments that I intend to follow.
Yesterday, I had the first two indoor soccer games of the season. We played in a double-header. Unfortunately, we were all out of shape. In fact, I was so out of shape that I couldn't breathe ten minutes into the first half of the first game and had to be pulled out! I was running too hard, and I didn't really regain my breath for another hour.
Today I helped dad pick up some shelves that mom bought a little while ago. There were two, and she got them at a huge discount. This was difficult, because today, from my games, I am really sore, and almost unable to move. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.

What is the biggest waste of time that you've ever heard of?
What is the best movie that you've seen lately?
In your opinion, what is the best food served on Thanksgiving?
If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?
The Economy
The Economy
The economy is all very fine
If you think just of yourself,
Although it causes detriment
If you’re someone else
If you’re, say, an African
Living off your corn
When Monsanto walks on in
And treats your work with scorn.
They buy up all the farmland
And utilize the space
To grow their “Genetically Enhanced” poison foods
At frankly frightening rates.
They treat their animals
Like trade goods
That they can kick, stab, and even slaughter
All for the “greater good.”
Their pens are the size of the gym,
But the max. capacity is full at all times,
I once saw a man grab the ear of
And cause a lot of pain to a poor swine.
They say “A loaf of bread is just $1!”
But the poor are starving ‘cause they haven’t a half
And while corporate food giants get richer,
Small family farms get smashed.
So go and buy more cheap, processed foods,
Even though they’ll make you fat
And try to think about the guy
Who gave up his farm, his life, so you could have that.
