Dr. Dennis Hayslett conducting Eric Whitacre's Sleep-excerpt

I thought this was rather interesting...an orchestral arrangement of "Sleep" by Eric Whitacre. It's not the whole thing though, unfortunately.

My List of Things

So it's been a while since I've last posted, and I thought I would share a list of things that annoy the heck out of me, and things that I find enjoyable.

Top 10 Things that Annoy Me (not in any order)

• People who drive slower than the speed limit in the fast lane


• Radio commercials that have horn honking or police sirens in them


• John Tesh


• That Delilah woman that comes on 96.5 at night


• Alabama's "Different Season Every Day" weather


• When I can't find the droids I'm looking for


• People who stop their car in the middle of the road in my neighborhood to talk to another neighbor going the opposite direction when they could easily just use one of several thousand other forms of communicating with them such as a cell phone or e-mail and not block the road so I can't get home


• People who do the same thing at Wal-Mart using shopping carts in the already too narrow aisles


• Having to pass the piano proficiency exam when the chair of the department probably couldn't even pass it


• Nancy Grace

Top 10 Things I Find Enjoyable (not in any order)

• Warm pants fresh out of the dryer on a "Alabama decided to be cold" day


• Warm days where I don't have to wear shoes and can wear sandals


• Watching Scrubs


• Hanging out with friends


• When the senior adults have a luncheon at church and they make me a plate to eat later


• Sleeping more than six hours in a night


• Playing XBox 360


• Working with kids. They're quite insightful sometimes.


• All of the "That's What She Said" moments


• Venting frustrations by blogging once every few months

I might add to this later. For now, this is all I can think of.
