chu_totoroaish baidu cleared up or something. searches bring up a lot of vids, but no more mp3s.
what a pain. D:
I mean, I could still use vixy to convert the vids, but there goes a very large and very easy source of all Chinese music.
laaaaaaaaaame.
In other news, I got second chair which was OK until Walter got a bunch of solos which I could have (on a purely unbiased POV) read and played much better than him, but more importantly, which he did not want to read, and you have no idea how sucky that feels; 's worse than CPYO in some ways, coz everyone's really good and everyone in the first 3-4 stands would LOVE to read the solo and there are seating FIGHTS when Mrs. Kim says: "first come first serve" but no... spite or anything, at least not against the people, because it's just about the standard and maintaining a certain standard of excellence and that is separate from the people.
not saying that SHS is spiteful or hates each other or anything - rather, the standards are just different. and CPYO standards, brought over, 'd be seen as overkill.
... i ♥ cpyo cellos. :)
In any case I spent lunch ranting and raving my devastation to Wooho, who wasn't paying attention because he was reading The Odyssey (and coz he made it to concert master ;p), but he bought me spring rolls with my own money and we raced a bunch of people on the way back (and won! hahaha) and I have spent all of my complaining &frustration &whatever etc in one overly large dose so that is, officially, over! (By which I mean, if I ever mention it again, do me a favor and slap me in the face.)
So that's the selfishness for the day.
In more fun news, I have... made progress in the dare they gave me @Stephanie's! Don't think I am allowed to divulge what it is for awhile, but tis very fun. &appeals to my prankster instincts. :D
(almost makes me excited for school to start again, because then I can put part 2 in action)
