Recipe, Orchestra, Comic book, Geometry, Work

First, I'm going to give you the recipe to an official 'Chicago Style' hot dog, because I feel like it. (and because I just ate one :D)
Ingredients:
Hot Dog
Bun (a normal one with poppy seeds. Poppy seeds are a must.)
Dill pickle spear
Tomato slices
Onion, diced
Bread and butter relish (a bright, food-colored green, if possible. [yes, it's true.])
Mustard (NO KETCHUP)
Hot peppers (I'm not sure what kind they are, but I do know that they're spicy, short, and yellow.)

Boil the hot dog. (don't grill!) Put in the bun. Put on the mustard. put on the relish. Put on the onion. put on the tomato slices. put on the hot peppers. put on the dill pickle spear. enjoy.
Note: If you fail to have any of these ingredients (and as far as I know, go out of order,) or add any ingredients, then it is NOT a 'Chicago Style' hot dog.

Okay, so now you can go enjoy one of those. They're pretty good, although I never eat the peppers, myself.

So in Orchestra, our director had us mix up the seating of everyone so there was no one of the same part by each other. (If you don't know, a string orchestra is usually arranged like this:

B Cellos Director 1st Violins
A Violas 2nd Violins
S
S
E
S
with the parts extending out. Something like that.) So me'n my stand partner, (we play 2nd) were where the first & second chair cellos would sit (if we did chairs, any ways) We had cellos behind us, and a viola to the side. It was great. It was easier to hear the other parts, but slightly harder to keep together. Then, this one time when she (the director) cut us off, some people were playing a bit after words, and she was like, "Those of you who were playing after I cut off, your E was flat." It was funny. Then, later she was like, "I'm getting lonely up here! I want to be surrounded by eyeballs!" Which was kinda funny, in a slightly morbid way. But really, people COULD look up more. And then she had us flip our music stands around and play a part with out the music. Her point was that we knew the music a lot better than we thought, but I already knew I had it pretty much memorized. Still, it was fun. Then we had cookies, because of the 'Cookie Rule', which follows: If someone forgets & leaves their possesion(s) in the orchestra room, he/she owes the entire orchestra cookies. Which is a great rule.

Today, I also revamped that one mecha I was talking about for my comic book. It looks less awkward & bird like now, but WAY cooler.

Also, today I got to do a little of my FAVORITE kind of geometry problem. It's the kind where they give you a buch of lines/triangles that are all inter-crossed, and have you figure out a bunch of angle measurements. I love doing that.

Then I went & worked. That was fun. We put in two dishwashers. I think I could probably put in an entire dishwasher by my self now. (maybe with some lifting help) Except, for maybe the wiring, I'm not completely sure how to do that. Then we loafed around for like an hour and a half because we couldn't do the next job till five. Then we took out an oven/microwave, and put in another. That wasn't too dificult, just heavy. (really. Those things are beasts.) Then we put in a microwave. That was interesting. Then he took me to a hot dog place. I didn't really know what I wanted, so he's just like, "Fine. Give the boy two hot dogs, french fries, and a pop." So they did. That's why I gave you the recipe, by the way. I think I'm going to go to bed now... I have a concert tomorow. And I've been really tired lately. Maybe I should try to find a good time to have a nap. Okay, done now. BYE!

Eew. You're orchestra teacher had you get mixed up, too? I hope you didn't sound as bad as us :P

We sounded amazing. Because we are amazing. And humble. (lol, jk. But really, we sounded great!)

I like that kind of geometry problem too.
