Bryan pulled into the driveway last night as I was finishing the green-nail-polish sketch of a dragon on the new door of the van. I had the King's Singers turned up as high as they would go on speakers extension-corded out the front door, flashlights pointed at the car door, and bottles of nail polish in my teeth, but I dropped it all to hug him, and dragged him inside to say hi to mama. We ended up watching most of the Tony awards and looking up various presenters on imdb before we went to get pie, but pie there was, and a grocery run. Not long, though, before his bedtime (since this is Bryan, though, to be fair, he did have to teach music theory to high-schoolers at 8 in the morning).
Today is Monday. I decided to take advantage of this fact and walk to the newly open Mission Burrito in the Village to redeem my continued association with Rice University for a free burrito. The line was nearly 45 minutes long, but I had a book (for those of you who don't know, Bill Bryson is hysterical) and headphones, and it was a very good burrito.
On my way back through campus I decided to look into getting a microphone from the DMC, and lo! All it took to check one out for a day was signing a page saying basically I wouldn't lose it. I haven't tested it yet, but if I can get it to function with my Line-In jack I will rerecord some lamentable vocal tracks on the Joodles collaborations.
I spent around half an hour in the library reading the aforementioned Bill Bryson book before I ran into Dr. Nancy Bailey, who is always unreasonably friendly to me, and Craig Hauschildt, who is also inexplicably amicable. They were conducting a lively discussion of the comps when Bryan wafted by, and I took my leave of them to sit in the windowsill of the music-library nook where he wrote his senior thesis. It was an hour and a half mostly composed of companionable silence, peppered with the occasional sharing of sentences or idioms of interest from our respective reading. As we walked out, he admitted to me that he was out of practice reading in his discipline. "But you're back into it now," I said. "It must be addictive." "Sure," he said, "it's a lot like nose-picking. It's very satisfying, and probably salutary, but you wouldn't want anyone to see you do it."
We're probably hanging out this evening. Perhaps we can get Dan involved and start on the great Nico hunt.
