A Great Weekend
Last weekend was one of the best I've had in a while. It started with leaving work early on Friday to meet pixie20 for the Seattle International Beer Festival. (I spent the weekend mostly on stouts and lagers.). Saturday was a day of rehearsal followed by cider at a neat bar with Aussie-rules football. That sport makes rugby look safe. Sunday, we slept in ( Read more... ) -
Bei Mir Bistu Shein (Spanish)
Mostly finished a side-project of mine yesterday and thought I would toss it out to the world to see. If you actually know Spanish, I'd love feedback:
My Translation
Con todas las chicas del mundo
yo buscaba algo profundo.
Pero todas las personas
fueron nadié y no más.
No puedo recordar ninguna.
Ahorita yo te he visto.

Die Moorsoldaten
Last night, LRS put on the Night in Berlin concert, a collection of music by German composers. Unlike earlier "Night in" concerts, this one skewed very strongly towards the classical. In fact, there were only 2 non-classical pieces. One was the Weill piece "What good would the moon be?" from Street Scene. The other was Die Moorsoldaten which I ( Read more... ) -

I can sing!
Still staying very busy. Work is nuts with barely any time to breath during the day.
In other news, I attended a "Vocal Master-class" taught by a friend of mine. She covered use of a microphone, working with accompianists, and related performance skills. I went in planning on doing something by Weill, but hadn't found any good pieces for my range ( Read more... ) -
I need scrap canvas
I'm contemplating an art project and am hoping to scrounge a few supplies for the experimentation phase. I am in need of painters canvas. I'll likely be cutting down to strips of 4"x10" (or there about) so scraps are great. Unfortunately, it does need to be reasonably clean (no paint already or things that will irritate skin too much ( Read more... ) -
Please let this month end
I'm really ready for January to be over. There has been so much stress from so many different sources. I just feel totally exhausted and drained. Right now, I'm just worried that the month won't end on the 31st. There is so much good in my life right now that I can't bear the thought that the bad of this month might overwhelm it.

Brain dump
It's been a long couple of weeks. Sister in town, GF in intensive classes, stuff hitting the fan at work. Lots of stress in life. It all came to a bit of a head on Sunday, but fortunately worked itself out by Monday afternoon. Still, that day off, while relaxing, was still not what I was really aiming for. Still, back to work today and trying to ( Read more... ) -
NYE Ideas?
Yeah, I know that it is the 27th, but I'm still not sure what I'm doing for New Years. I'm wondering what crazy parties are going on around town (or even private parties) that I may not be aware of.
So, what's happening?
