For me to start somethin'
Buggin' and barkin' at n***az like i was duck huntin'
Dumbing out, just me and
Cause all we wanna do is...

and the jay-z song came on...
SO I PUT MY HANDS UP, THEY'RE PLAYIN MY SONG!

I'm going to Loyola lake I guess from Thursday to Sunday.

Anyone know what's good?

I found myself at work using a weed-whacker, when there were all sorts of trails in the grass. I started to cut the grass and I saw a vole come scurrying away.

I felt bad for destroying his home, so I did what he probably wanted the least, and grabbed him. I continued to grab him and then have him jump away for like 3-4 minutes until he got tuckered out.

Once he was tired, he seemed to relax. I could keep him in my closed hands without him struggling, and eventually the little guy stopped huffing and puffing and started to crawl around on me and explore!

When I put my hand near the ground again, he kindof looked around for a few seconds, crawled off slowly, and then waddled towards his (now somewhat destroyed) house while glancing back sort of curiously at me.

I think I'm gonna go back tomorrow and see if he remembers me.

7:02 PM: I'm only going to include photos of myself in forum posts from NOW on.

Don't worry, they will all be relevant. Maybe I'll post a little less for the next bit, but it's not like I'm a mad presence on the forums anyways.

EDIT
7:09 PM
Scratch that. I only lasted 7 minutes. dang i get so carried away.

obligatory photo:

I really enjoy the style and sound of romantic character pieces for the piano. Definition.

I'll post links to some songs that I have played in the past and enjoyed.

This is a Chopin etude, Opus 25 no.1.
I played this piece for entrance into my university music program. I can't play it as well as Rubinstein, but I really enjoy it nonetheless.

I learned about this set of pieces through my music history class that I took. I think that this is probably one of the best versions on youtube. I really enjoy the feeling that the first and third piece evoke. They're only about 40 seconds and 80 seconds each.

I also played these two pieces for my audition, I had another two pieces in there as well, but I can't find a very good performance. These are on par to how well I play them. Pretty good, but not perfect. Scriabin 24 preludes, Op. 11 no.10,14.

SO. After all of that, What I'm basically looking for is someone to help me in my search for more repetoire to play, that's similar but different at the same time.

Difficulty is NOT something that I'm terribly worried about. The final Scriabin prelude is a Grade 10 or ARCT piece under the Royal Conservatory, and the other pieces are all ranked around Grade 9 or so. Anything more difficult will be a challenge but I think I'm up to it.

I guess you don't have to be musically cultured to respond to my request, and you can be musically cultured without having the ability to help me, but I still think it's a good way to ask for help.

So.... PAICE!

At least until I get bored and come back in a few weeks. I have no time for such foolishness right now.

Wait, what am I thinking....This means I'll have more time than ever for Newgrounds!
I'm gonna start doing sit-ups when I post again. I'm pretty sure I was the inspiration for the original NG workout that was around last year.

I'll try to include pictures whenever I feel like it.

I'm going to write my opinions on the above soon.

Maybe if I have a couple hours to spare.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS NUCLEAR WASTE. DON'T EVEN TEMPT ME BY CLAIMING THERE IS.

EDIT: I know it's been like 2 months. I honestly haven't bothered with NG for a while now anyways.

I went on a 45 minute tour of a SLOWPOKE Nuclear Reactor that is on my campus! Seeing as how this directly relates to my area of study, I found the design and function absolutely incredible!

I'll post a couple tidbits that I learned while on the tour!

- Most nuclear reactors are held at a negative pressure level. This is to ensure that if any breaches between inside and outside occur, air from outside will rush INTO the building to prevent any radiated particles from escaping. So, as you can imagine, there was an airlock needed just to get inside the building!

- I experienced a radiation level of 1x10^-6 Seiverts by being inside the plant for the length of time that I was. My body usually experiences 500x10^-6 Seiverts by being in the sun, so the radiation level is well within acceptable levels.

- Cerenkov radiation was clearly visible in the reactor pool, giving off a blue hue characteristic of the medium in which the core resides, water. No-one really knows why radiation is associated with a green glow, as uranium itself is silver and plutonium emits a yellow blackbody radiation spectrum.

I'll look back someday and laugh. I guess I deserve it, I haven't been following the golden rule recently.
