Piano, Ninja, Alcohol burner

So today in orchestra, the director had this cellist play a song she heard him play earlier on the piano for us. It was cool. In the song he reached over and ran his fingers over the strings of the piano. It was SO cool. I can't believe no one has thought of that before (as far as I know, the song was written recently.) Then again, you can only play it on a grand piano, so I guess that's a slight disadvantage. But still...

Also, she explained the Ninja game better. So here's how it goes: (we start on Monday or Tuesday)
So when you see your target, you sneak up on them, and like, 'X' them with your hand (*thwip thwip*) on their back. Then they tell you who they were going after, so you go after that person. (also you e-mail the person in charge [it's someone in one of the other orchestras. I guess she's the 'mastermind' of the current game] and tell them that you Ninja'd so-and-so and she'll tell you who you're after also) So then slowly everyone gets eliminated, untill there's only one person left. That person wins. Yay. Bake them cookies or something. So then I guess we start again. Also, you can take your person out any where, (except the music hall way and that person's locker, for us) even out side, like in the super market or anything. So that's cool. Okay. I think that's everything. So yeah.

Then today I was doing an experiment to calibrate my thermometer. (It's .9 degrees Celsius to high, FYI) and I used an alcohol burner for part of it. It was fun. So that's that. Okay, done now.

What kind of thermometer is it? Mercury? Kerosine? ?
