This is a piece of "art" on the campus of USC. I won't repeat what Leslie said this magnificent work of inspiration reminds her of. I read an article in the paper today about Boingboing.net and then went to Choral Conducting class where we practiced conducting in 1. Guess what we had to say as our arms were dropping on each "1" : "Boing, boing, boing...." Talk about serendipity. Or don't talk about it, I don't care.


By the way, I was going to name my blog site "Terbium," which is a silver "rare earth" metal soft enough to cut with a knife and is atomic number 65, which happens to be the sum of the integers which correspond to the letters of my name, Kelly, given that A=1, etc., but it was already taken. We now know, by the way, that so-called "rare earth" elements are really not that rare at all. But people thought they were when they named them that.



I found another interesting site about the history of my name. http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/Ke/Kelly.html

I'm going to try another train video test. Last two didn't seem to work.

No photos today. Actually, I did take a couple good ones. I'll post them tomorrow. This blog is intended to be a sort of journal. I'm not worrying about the form or frequency, although I do hope that it will become rather routine to publish something at least every other day or so. Events of note: The tram from Union Station to USC was packed to the hilt (reminded me of the buses in Colombia) and as it turned out I had to stand. My main piano professor, Dr. Gordon, was on the same tram. The rest of the day was pretty normal, although I did have an interesting conversation with Glen Bennett about looters, illegal immigrants, and socialism.

The cookie wanted to bite off the cranium of the infamous Atomic Pirate.


My peeps and 'Peaches'






Marci: "I'll give you a sheep for two books."
Eric: "Help me help you."
Tamar: "You're going to place there? I was going to place there, but I could see it would be a bad choice."
Mike: "I've been playing Settlers since I was 3."
Gina: "Woohoo I built a settlement!"
Ted: "Every time a 6 is rolled, we both reach for the same cards and Allison touches me like 80 times!"
Allison: "WAAAAHHAAAAHAAAHAAA!!!"
