Went to the student dance concert tonight. One of the modern pieces was really cool, but the rest just didn't make much sense to me. The African piece was neat, and taiko was amazing. Luckily, the dancers that danced in front of the drums for a bit got out of the way quickly -- they didn't need to be there. In fact, they shouldn't have been there. They were just distracting and blocked the view from the awesome drumming.

This is an interesting quiz...

What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

So despite having actually lived in the Midwest for more than half of my life, the accents generally cancel out, with 'Yankee' coming out a bit ahead. Cool.
