Someone will pay for this

Today was a dark day, indeed. You and I both know how much Lite Ranch dressing sucks. I've blogged about it before; you know of my disdain. So, I was SHOCKED to find that someone put Lite Ranch in the bottled labeled, "Ranch" at the salad bar in the Comstock dining hall. Let's just say that I was less than pleased. I think I gagged a little when I ate it. Gross.

In other news, I was pretty entertained in my Chinese discussion today when the professor attempted, in his poor English, to explain the difference between "remembering" and "recalling". It was a nice little psych lecture lol. In English, those terms are used interchangeably. But, in Chinese, they have different meanings. In Chinese, 記得 (ji de, to remember) is the act of perpetually remembering something. Whereas, 想得起來 (xiang de qi lai, to recall) is the act of retrieving something from memory. I think I get it. We'll see once the test comes around.

On Sunday, the next U of M concert is going down. It is called "Music for a Grand Space." It will include performances by the Men's Chorus (that's me!!!), the Women's Chorus (they're alright), and the Campus Singers. The Men's Chorus will be performing an eclectic mass, a mix of mass movements from across musical history. Following the mass pieces, we will be performing a spiritual, "Ride the Chariot."

Here is a preview of a couple of the pieces:





This one is alright. They're a little flat. Plus the conductor's hand motions scare me a bit.



We aren't doing this one, but I have a man-crush on this guy. Enjoy, despite this being recorded on the worst VHS tape ever.
