a Sad Country Ballad for a Tired Superhero

I spent over half of my day in band today. It was really frustrating because I really don't have time for that right now. The first hour was just the general band class and then I had to practice for about an hour and a half to get ready for the repertoire test that Mr. Herard had suddenly decided to start doing. He makes us sit down with him and play through a bunch of songs. The test wasn't fun but it's done now. And then I had to eat lunch really fast and go to a sectional. I was just so tired and out of breath by the end of it. It was rough. And then I had to spend the rest of the day working on math. It was a long day.

I'm thinking about having an inauguration party on Tuesday. I really wanted to go down to Washington but I couldn't quite talk my parents into it. But I feel like there must be celebrating. The thing about having a party is that there are only certain people that I could invite. You know, the ones who actually like Obama. I don't like excluding people. The other thing is that I'd really like to listen to his speech and once you gather enough people in one room you are not likely to hear the TV. I was thinking about ordering a cake from Dairy Queen with his face on it. I was also thinking about making cup cakes and spelling out "GOBAMA" on them. I'll think of something.

Frost/Nixon is finally playing in Calgary. It's only playing in one theatre though. On the other side of town on top of everything else. I'll get there. I'm going to see this bloody movie.
