What the hell rhymes with that?! "I'm harpening, you're harpening, we're all harpening..."
I heard a dyadic, bell-like clanging somewhere in the distance. Curiosity piqued my interest, and I was getting ready to go find out what the noise was, when I realized it was getting closer. It dawned on me that it was probably some sort of Ice Cream Truck. An Ice Cream Truck! Right here on our street! Our street of friendly, mostly adult ( Read more... ) -
How bemusing
As of today (and barring any sudden changes of heart on the part of the auditioners), I'm now in my school's Bachelor of Music program. It's a bit of an experiment, so I'll see how it goes in the fall, but at least I've got the bloody audition over with. Fortunately, this one went better than my Concordia audition several years ago. -

I had a fairly subdued birthday Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary, the latter half definitely better than the former. Good food, good company, and some nice surprises (thanks again for the call, Rachel). The Chinese restaurant's placemat did freak me out with its terribly accurate horroscope for my birth year, but that's beside the point ( Read more... ) -
Who wants to take me to the hospital?

I'm pleased with my results, but there's so much more that could/should/will be done ( Read more... ) -

Today is the four year anniversary of elfbabe and I, and the first we've had a chance to spend in the same country. Here's where I lead a rousing chant of "FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!" -

elfbabe's parents and sister arrived tonight for a short vacation in Ottawa. This is a good thing, because in the pre-arrival "OH SHIT THE IN-LAWS ARE COMING!" rush to make our house look somewhat less squalid, we.. well, succeeded. And, believe me, our cave needed it ( Read more... ) -
36 Chambers
I spent time today in this anechoic chamber; the results were, in a word, addictive. After a period of near total silence, the ambient internal sounds of my nervous system became audible. Several minutes later, I began to hear my heart beat and, shortly thereafter, the sounds of my blood's circulation ( Read more... )
