I cannot quite explain my intense, savage, overwhelming, catastrophic love for Kansas.

hello city!

as i waist the last half hour of my bostonian stay, i find myself with absolutely nothing to do. so, because i have 6 hours and 11 minutes to think, read, and write on my way home, i figure right now i will post something to keep my blog from becoming obsolete. which it basically is anyway, but let's not go into that, shall we?
First of all, I highly recommend Boston. It's an awesome place. I'm very much enamored of fire escapes and alleys, especially when combined. This is probably why I like Iain's window so much, as it has a view of both these elements. Yesterday in my lonely wanderings around New England Conservatory of Music, (NEC)i found my very favorite fire escape. It's on the side of the YMCA, and I think I would go to NEC just so I could look at that fire escape every day. I also walked down Public Alley No. 810, and I managed to escape the muggers.
Anyway, Boston is a beautiful place. I love being on spring break. I also love the fact that when I get home, I still have 4 days of break to be crazy with my buddies. I am such an awesome travel planner. I think I'll do it for a living someday when I fail at music.
So I think blogs are dumb. I don't know why I have this.
OOH! Iain and I stayed up all night in shifts waiting for Radiohead tickets to go on sale, and we got them! I'm very happy. He did most of the awake part, but that's because he had work he had to do. But I'm a happy person.
That's more than anyone needs and wants to know about my life. Goodbye. Enjoy yourselves.

For those of you who aren't on Facebook...

Happy March! It's so beautiful to be in Ojai in springtime.

Here are pictures of my two most prized possessions.





My Pernambuco tree, c/o Peter.













My viola. That's Abby's violin with it. See if you can figure out which one's which.










I love you guys. Eat pizza.

wow, i forgot about this thing...

Hm. I just remembered about this as I was practicing.
Which, by the way, is all I do these days.
Life according to Sheila:
Get up, eat, school, eat, practice, school, go home, practice, eat, practice, sleep. Start again. Not too enthralling. I hang out with people occasionally. Right now we're on break all week long, which rocks because you get to cut out the getting up and school part of that schedule and add in some more hanging out with people. And going to art museums. And maybe some beach if the weather clears up. And a whole lot of practicing.
Which reminds me: I'm throwing together a recital for hopefully the weekend of may 16th. I'm trying to get the church right now for may 18th in the afternoon. Hoping really hard... Anyway, you're all welcome to come to that, but I'm also seriously doubting anyone will. Except maybe Michelle?? (please!) I'll be playing Bach second Suite, (Prelude, Sarabande, and Gigue), Brahms Viola Sonata #2 in Eb major, Sibelius Rhondo, Bruch Romanze for the Viola, and Walton Viola concerto movements I and II. I'll probably throw in a few things here and there, but that's all I have planned right now. It'll be pretty cool. I have a LOT of work to do, though. Pretty much, if anyone's interested in a good time, a big party, some (hopefully) beautiful music, and lots of good friends, they should come here for that weekend. It'll rock.
Hmmm. What else? I'm wearing socks. Be proud, y'all.
Smoothies are great, Rabic is cool. My name is Sheila, and I think you rule.
The End. Happy Dead Leaders of our Country Week!

Beachy Christmas!



All you chickens rotting away in W. WA will appreciate this photographic evidence that I DID in fact spend my Christmas Eve at Zuma Beach with my friend Peter and his family. Oh yeah... It was so much fun. I'm currently wearing shorts and a tshirt. I love California.
Merry Christmas to everyone.

thanksgiving!

i love thanksgiving. what better way to spend the day then cooking all day, cleaning, and eating? i think that thanksgiving is God's gift to housewives.
in other news, life's crazy. i keep forgetting i have a blog, hence the complete lack of sheila's presence on this thing.
highlight of the week? (other thank thanksgiving, of course, for which i have sat down for a total of about 65 minutes, and that was for dinner... cooking from 1030 until 430 with a few moments spent changing car headlights with deirdre.) that highlight would have to be seeing wicked live in hollywood on tuesday. that was AWESOME. if anyone ever gets the chance to see that musical live anywhere, do so. it is so worth whatever you pay. i went with a bunch of people from school. lots of fun. we went into this awesome vintage clothes store on hollywood blvd., in which we had a contest to see who could put together the best outfit. i don't think anyone officially won, but it was still a blast. i also walked along looking at all the stars in the sidewalk. there were ones for debbie reynolds, queen, alfred hitchcock, etc. very cool. anyway, that was definitely fun. i have been off school all week, also, which is really really nice. and iain has been home since last saturday, and bingy has been hanging at the homestead since yesterday, so we're all together. i love my family.
anyway, enjoy y'all y'all's thanksgiving, and stay warm and toasty in these freezing chills, and bite yourselves for me.

okay, okay...

i could say something about the my life being busy busy busy, but awesome. about school being nice, and that i like public school. i could say something cheesy about loving everyone and life being a pizza pie. but instead, i'm going to say one thing.
in rainbows is amazing.
go hug trees.
love,
sheila
