Notes

I think I got it! It's really been annoying not being able to put the cak's in musical notation because technically everything should be (seeing as we created the system in the first place). So here's what Bobby (whose ideas Eddy symbiotically? voiced throughout the whole class) and I almost got ( I think it goes faster and the cak's are triplets and that's why they've been tripp[l]ing us up [get it? ha, aha, ha]):

bold is where you cak
The sir tit pong tit's are 1 2 3 4 (or each "tri").

CAK cak cak
Tri pl et Tri pl et Tri pl et Tri pl et

cak cak CAK
Tri pl et Tri pl et Tri pl et Tri pl et

7 cak's
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and

6 cak's
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and

It's so much easier just to understand it by ear, though. Harder to explain by theory.

I think it's interesting how Francis told us that we're all a group on the same level but we are intermittent, transient teachers or leaders by whom we learn. It's like someone popping into your room once in a while to tell you what's what. It connected to the video in a sense because we were watching our teacher be a student. So everyone physically in the room at that moment became equal when he pushed play. And that's cool how he showed us that, because that's one of your most vulnerable and embarrassing states, when you're in a state of learning and imperfection and inferiority, when the painting or performance isn't finished or perfected yet.

I almost got into an uncontrollable fit of laughter with the new ahh's we did--the motions were just too much (it was mostly the circle-swaying that got me).

My voice kind of felt sore after that class, which means that I probably didn't use my diaphragm all that much. Gotta work on that one.

The Dodge Room is an OASIS for 4-hour chem labbers who actually use the entire 4 hours. (Mayonnaised sandwiches and shrimp gumbo and spicy oatmeal raisin cookies, mmm....) Plus that lady there was really nice.

Anyway, last class on Tuesday? Awesomest thing ever, the dance that Sravya did. I can't believe memorizing and performing 15x the dance sampler she did. It was crazy awesome beautiful. The transformations part and the part where the demon died? were my favorite parts. I can't wait to do (or at least try) something like that.

I don't remember much else from that class except the part where people acted out the 9 expressions and Jason acted out my favorite character EVER, the beggar person from FASA's Culture Night festival scene. Gets me evvvery time. Oh and we did steps! I almost forgot that.

I need to catch up on the Ramayana. I haven't read it since I wrote about it.

Last class I met Sarita and Rebecca.
Today I met Joey and learned about the evolution of the Aristocrats joke.
