Things have been satisfyingly busy around here. I got through MUN's theory assessment fairly easily and recorded my audition pieces for them. Now all I have to do is wait until the perfect time to tell them - with a condescending sneer, tee hee - that I'm not coming. And while I'm talking about organ, I'm going to let myself brag for second: I ( Read more... )

Just because I'm so happy that this shortest/longest month is over...

Which date from this month are you most likely to remember?

The day I said goodbye to Grampy. I still don't know if it'll be the last time. I think it was the 15th.

What was an achievement this month?

Scholarship!

What was a failure?

Mia. I've kept it completely to myself ( Read more... )

Do I dare believe my eyes? Does the thermometer really say seven degrees? Seven? And it's still light out. At 6 pm! Now, I realize that there's still another month and a half before we can really begin to take spring seriously around here, but I love these occasional reminders ( Read more... )

*sigh of relief* Puddy's biopsies came back showing nothing wrong with her second kidney. And she's obviously feeling better. After the operation she spent a few days sitting one chair, hardly eating. But now she's suddenly gone back to all her normal puddy habits (demanding breakfast, begging lunch, preening, etc.). I'm soooooooooooo relieved! She ( Read more... )

I'm not sure how much more illness I can take. First Grampy... now Puddy Tat ( Read more... )

Okay, well, either I have strange taste in movies, or nobody but Karen was interested in my little bit of Thursday movie fun. And feel free to tell me if it was the latter... might as well hit my self-esteem while I have more important things to worry about. But in case anyone was interested, the guessing game has morphed into a matching game - ( Read more... )

A Guessing Game

1. Pick 25 of your favourite movies
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions to answer!
6. Try to guess the characters tooSome of these are giveaways, but here goes... Leave a comment if you guess ( Read more... )

It's easier to deal with everything when I'm not in Digby. I still have trouble concentrating, and I completely broke down in my voice lesson today (Monette was terrific about it), but without that hospitally smell that always hangs around the house when someone is really sick, it's at least possible to get on with things. Which I have to do, since ( Read more... )

I have absolutely no close experience with death. I’ve been tremendously lucky that way. None of my close family has even had serious (I mean really serious) health problems since before I was old enough to understand ( Read more... )

I applied to MUN last week, just as a backup, in case something goes disastrously wrong with my Mt. A. audition or something (which, honestly, could happen yet... trilling with my feet? Yeesh.). I kind of expected them to get back to me with a WTF?! about my lack of high school marks, and maybe ask to see some essays, or get me to write a letter ( Read more... )
