"Mercy? You wanted mercy!? I'm chaotic/neutral!" --some crazy guy on the internet.
So DnD is back in full swing. I must say, though, that it has a tendency to consume some people. Thankfully, not us. Schoolwork, shindigs, and other commitments (like concerts) take precedence. However, I have now performed a nerdism.
You see, I've noticed that almost everyone in our little group of "questers" owns a pair of their own Roleplaying Dice. In fact, so much that I found myself more often than not using their dice rather than the DM's. This became confusing, so we had to call out each of our throws, which only helped mildly. So:
Yeah. I got dice.
Goldish auburn dice. Only 4 dollars online, so no biggie. I just feel like an even larger nerd than before. BUT: I'm not any different than a gaming group that meets each week, especially when we punctuate dungeon crawls with games like Bang!, Fluxx, and Chrononauts. It's fun, and a welcome reprieve from the constant barrage of musicality.
Just finished with half of my midterms. Vocal tech had us sing and then get critiqued from the class, then sing again (A-). Linguistics was 35 multiple-choice questions in an hour on lecture material; no problem. The Beast this past week was Music History; 30 musical pieces memorized ("name that tune" essentially), and about 1500 years worth of historical facts. Woot. (I think I got about a B, and I hear there's a massive curve :) ).
Well, I have go eat dinner, then work on, what else, Music History, head to an interview, then practice my keister off.
Over and Out,
Adam
PS: Wind Ensemble concert on Thursday at 8:00 PM. And I have solos.

What period of musical history are you working on right now? Were they big classical hits that you needed to work on, like Beethoven's 5th and Debussy's Clair de Lune? Sounds like fun.
What musical eras were covered by the listening exam? Did you have to identify the big classical hits, or were they more obscure pieces? Sounds like fun to me. The listening, that is, not the other stuff.
Judging by the semester covered here, it was more obscure. Well, tsk, tsk on me, not OBSCURE, just older.
