A Few Self-Indulgent Drum Pics 

All right! It worked! I'm not sure how long these images will be hosted, but I can at least display them for free right now. It may be some kind of 15 day trial, but I can't remember. Anyway, here are some of my drum pics.

This is another angle of just the set.

A picture of me actually playing the set (this is the first time I've put a picture of myself online, by the way)

Another pic from before I upgraded my cymbal setup

Another angle of the set w/me playing the snare drum and looking very uninterested (you can also clearly see that I play drums in a basement...under the stairs, next to an old refrigerator, and surrounded by Pittsburgh sports memorabilia...I live in a dorm now, though)

Okay, that's enough for now. I just really wanted to post drum pics, and now I can. Other than that, there's not much to blog about right now. I had a quiz in philosophy today, and only one of the questions was taken from my listserv arguments. That's not very much, but it was still cool to look at a college exam sheet and see my name on one of the questions. I don't have any rants in store yet, so I'm going to wait on that for now. One last thing: It's snowing in Syracuse. Yes, it does snow in October in this part of New York. I like the way one of the snare drummers put it yesterday (this isn't an exact quote, but it's close): "We might as well dress warm, go outside, and welcome Old Man Winter, because he's going to be here for the next four months." The snow is actually one of the reasons I came here, so I don't mind that much, but it's frickin' freezing outside! I'm going to stop now. Later.
