pinging and ponging
i've been playing a lot of table tennis lately. last week i switched from the Shakehand Grip to the Penhold Grip.
today i had an off day. franklin beat me each time we played and i lost to Ted Talbot 13-21. the thing about this is Ted is really good. last time he beat me it was 6-21, and a few of those were just errors on Ted's part. i'm getting better, which is fun.
next week is the 1 o'clock lounge and Syndicate performances of the 9 o'clock lab band. next wednesday i'm performing the first movement of the Flor Peeters trumpet sonata at departmental. any north texas readers would like to come and hear me, go right on ahead.

my roomate and I went through a huge pingpong phase of our lives together. I even played in a tournament!
