A Hodgepodge

In preparation to write down Hamlet's "To be, or not to be..." soliloquy (for a grade) in toto tomorrow, I recorded myself speaking it into my laptop. Upon listening to it, I discovered that I've got an extremely annoying speaking voice, notwithstanding that I somewhat lisp words with a "ch" or "s," sound, such as "pitch," or "conscience," to name two in the very speech I am memorizing. There's nothing wrong with this; it's just odd to hear the difference between the sound of my voice as I hear it as I speak, and when I hear a recording of my speech. But to sum that up, I realized today that If I had to hear my voice from the perspective of others, I'd find myself pretty annoying too. So I apologize to you whose ears are ringing from my drivel.

Watch "JEOPARDY!". It'll make you smarter.

I think I'd like to go into politics, perhaps. There's not enough youth or humor in that field. I nearly just said I'd like to be president, but that's a cliché and a bit over the top. But either way, look out for a "Gavrich 2040" or "Gavrich 2044" campaign.

Now, this evening's lyrical selection:

Van Morrison, "Everyone"
"By the winding stream,
We shall lie and dream.
Well make dreams come true
If we want them to.
Yes all will come,
Play the pipes and drum.
Sing a happy song,
And we'll sing along.
Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone..."
