north of the boarder.

rumor has it bluetooth is coming out with a new wireless kite.
i can dig it.

in other news:
let's fill in the gaps of my hole-some blogging. i'd better jump back on the wagon before i fall too far behind and give up altogether.

.˙ two words: madison wisconsin.
the pictures are still trapped on my computer at the repair shop but envision this, 30 000 people in red and white, cheering at the tops of their lungs, and me, little julia, clinging to her trumpet for fear of dropping it due to extreme shaking knee syndrome. intense.

.˙ international trumpet guild convention.
again, a little nervous playing in front the pickiest trumpet crowd you could find. but the result? everyone loved it! it was wild!
"NSU, is that in New York?" "No, South Dakota, actually." [cue jaw hitting floor.] "Oh wow, you're all masters students there?" "No, we're actually all undergrads." [clunk] "Is there a doctor in the house?"

ok, so that is enough over-the-top bragging. i'm sorry. it's just been an exciting semester.

.˙ i've been inspired to write some music. ever read the mysteries of harris burdick? its a kids book by chris van allsberg and its reeeaaally wonderful. so head to your local library and track it down. anyways, i have a long term goal of writing a series, perhaps album, inspired by the book. two songs are started and i've got a bunch of ideas on the burner. its been awhile since i've been writing.

.˙ i also work at the local library now.

.˙ i've got my own apartment now in aberdeen. murder mystery house warming party coming soon!

.˙ more currently however, i am at home, and it is a beautiful life i am living here, however temporary it may be.

.˙ most importantly, next week i will become... A WARRIOR! i'm picturing myself as like, the girl version of john lock... meets xena, warrior princess... meets transformers... yeah. i'll be a changed girl when you see me next.

the bottom line is there is a lot going on in my life, some of it so exciting and tender my rambling blog isn't worthy. i hate these "ketchup" blogs. rambling, uninteresting, cruelly in-cohesive, and dull. its a good thing no one reads them.

es ist liebe,
julia.
