Writing two posts tonight to make up for the one I missed on Sunday. I was busy finishing Twin Peaks and studying with friends in the Barnard Library, both of which were great. I ate a delicious bacon cheeseburger. Today I gave my discussion presentation on Twin Peaks, which went pretty well, I'd give myself a solid B-. After that I had a brief WBAR meeting then Jazz ensemble class, both of which were fun. We were learning a Charlie Parker tune by ear, which is at least making me better at singing. After that I went over to Carman to play in the funk band I'm in, we were short a few people but had a really nice jam session, I'm excited for the party we're playing in on Friday. Lots of job stuff to do tomorrow, hopefully it goes well. I've been putting off job stuff for too long because I don't really want to accept all the change that comes with it, but oh well. It's almost spring, time for cleaning and change etc.
There's some really great TV shows out there right now. Man Seeking Woman has been great, just watched the premiere of Last Man on Earth which looks promising, and Better Call Saul has been better than I expected it to be. I thought it was going to be more of a case-of-the-week "how will Saul get them off this time?" type of deal but it's been great narrative so far. I watch lots of television, so this American Television Drama class I'm taking is very relevant and fun.
Should I start beginning these posts with "Diane- "?
Here's a song from a show, or at least a show's version of a song.

Moanin', from Sakamichi no Apollon, an anime from a few years ago about some high school students learning jazz in 1960's Japan. It gets a little (a lot) too wrapped up in love triangles and tropes partway through the series, but it's good overall and especially nice if you're a jazz fan.
