Get thy own friend.

I don't wanna go to work today. I'd rather stay home and bake cookies with April. Because then I'd get to eat the chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven, which is a wonderful pleasure.
However, yesterday's romp in New Paltz was fun, as per the usual Wednesday custom. Once again, Mary, Brie and I played some Molf, and the usual hilarity ensued. April was playing with the digital doggy fun that is Nintendogs, and Wyatt came with Shanti, and he started playing the pure lunacy that is Resident Evil 4. In the middle of a long stretch of never-ending enemies, Mary felt it necessary to play Istanbul (Not Constantinople), which has become the song to play when one is going berserk shooting religious, mindless, Plaga-infested RE4 monks.
Evening was approaching, and April had a dinner date with her professor and a couple of friends. Ben, Mary, Brie, and I went over to P&G's, and we saw that it was good. They always have yummy, yummy food. After we had our fill, back to campus where Brie and Mary went to class, Ben and I went to Jazzman's since we had some time to kill. We met up with Kyle, chatted, and then I went to chorus. I think Ed is having a "dead" theme this semester, as the 2 works we are performing kinda center around death:
--Mozart's Requiem, which I sang in high school under the direction of Daniel McCarter and Deb Phelps. However, when I did this, I was a tenor. Now I am a bass, and have to relearn everything. Which isn't bad. Also, this is the Robert Levin version, whereupon he revises the work that Mozart's student, Sussmayr, did. The original, standard version is the Sussmayr-completed edition. Levin polishes it up. It does sound very similar to the original, but with some noticable differences and additions.
--Gustav Holst's Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda, which deals more with pain, death, and war. So far, it's proving difficult to learn simply because of how it's written--in 5/4 and 7/4 time.
So, after chorus, met up with April in the library and went home.
PHANTOM IN A WEEK!!! (bounces!)
And now, off to work. Poopy.
