A Very Good Day

Today was a very good day. I got my license and first chair in the orchestra I'm in. I doubt anyone really cares, but I felt like telling the world. Today was a very, very good day.

Good day!

"!!!!!"

"Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind."
-Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man


"From the back, Vetinari looked like a carnivorous flamingo."
-Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms


"Winners never talk about glorious victories. That's because they're the ones who see what the battlefield looks like afterwards. It's only the losers who have glorious victories."
-Terry Pratchett, Small Gods


"Sometimes there has to be a civil war, and sometimes, afterwards, it's best to pretend something didn't happen. Sometimes people have to do a job, and then they have to be forgotten."
-Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms


"(...) perfectly ordinary books, printed on commonplace paper in mundane ink. It would be a mistake to think that they weren't also dangerous, just because reading them didn't make fireworks go off in the sky. Reading them sometimes did the more dangerous trick of making fireworks go off in the privacy of the reader's brain."
-Terry Pratchett, Soul Music


"They think they want good government and justice for all, Vimes, yet what is it they really crave, deep in their hearts? Only that things go on as normal and tomorrow is pretty much like today."
-Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay


"'Why are our people going out there?' said Mr Boggis of the Thieves' Guild.
'Because they are showing a brisk pioneering spirit and seeking wealth and... additional wealth in a new land,' said Lord Vetinari.
'What's in it for the Klatchians?' said Lord Downey.
'Oh, they've gone out there because they are a bunch of unprincipled opportunists always ready to grab something for nothing,' said Lord Vetinari. [...] The Patrician looked down again at his notes. 'Oh, I do beg your pardon,' he said. 'I seem to have read those last two sentences in the wrong order."
-Terry Pratchett, Jingo


I like to read. A lot. One of my favorite authors, if you hadn't guessed, is Terry Pratchett. He's a British Fantasy/Humor author. That's all I have to say today.
