i feel like such a bum

Being the only person on my FList inundating LJ with senseless posts, whilst everyone else is probably off studiously studying or whatever appropriate task you set yourselves these days.
Completely randomly - I am convinced my clarinet is dead. It keeps squeaking in a consistent and predictable way. If I remove the body of it (i.e. just leave the barrel and mouthpiece intact) and blow through it, it doesn't squeak no matter how I blow. I think the padding on the keys died.
I swear, music instruments from China hate me. I was tuning my cousin's violin for him a few days ago, and the damn string snapped. It was a G (i.e. the thickest string) and I didn't even wind it over the G when it snapped. The string itself was worn already even though the violin was supposed to be new, and the metal tore ==; And the instrument tuning pipe is off-tune, I swear. And the pegs refuse to hold in place. Argh. (Had to go out and buy replacement string, which costed $23-$59 ==;;;;;)
Gundam Seed Destiny Special Part II (again in two halves) screened Thursday and yesterday. I'm told they have continued to make Lunamaria more protective of Shinn rather than fangirling Athrun. There's also more romantic interaction between Kira and Lacus, as opposed to their more courteous and detached meetings in the original anime.
...They've also given Lacus bigger boobs in the opening sequence.
And after the "nice" bit of Athrun fanservice last episode, there's some Lacus fanservice this time.
Will write more when the Chinese version comes out ^^
