The new drink of the summer is mojitos. Move over margarita! Mojitos are damn good.

Bach Mass in B minor....is so good but so hard. Audition tonight. I hate auditions. I might not audition for the Terry Riley piece because I just don't know it that well and I should be more prepared for that end.

September 1st is the official "moving once again"

On my way back up from Boston, I discovered that the graveyard wasn't too far out of the way. If I had known that, I also would've made arraingments to go put some flowers on Pepere's grave. I'll have to keep that in mind for future reference.

And how exactly do you make a mojito? Enlighten the mixed-drink challenged!

[kellthevalkyrie]

Yeah, I was surprised how easy it was to get to right off 89.

A mojito is an interesting time, because you have to "muddle" the ingredients, which is just a fancy word for smash. Heh. You take mint leaves, lime slices, and sugar and put them in a glass then smash them all up with a spoon (lime juice works better sometimes) then you use white rum (bacardi works good) and club soda. It sounds sort of gross, but its actually quite good! The first sip I took I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but indeed I do!

What flavor of these mojitos are you liking? I saw the mint one on their site...ew. Sounds gross.

[missmetal]

Yup, there is mint in it. Sounds very gross, but it's pretty good!

*ahem* Emperor where?

[kellthevalkyrie]

BB King's on 42nd Street. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th!!! I'm not sure if there are tickets left or not, but you should look into it.

Hey girl!!!

We did that @ Shenandoah this past fall. Very challenging, even for the best conservatory students at the University. You know that I'm a classical music buff, but Bach's mass seems to transend all that into something spiritual.. for me a least:)

Cum Sancto is my favorite!, our conduction, Robert Shafer, of the Washington Chorus, took it at a quick tempo, those runs are fierce!!!

Best of luck and enjoy :)

Thank you! I look forward to the challenge of it if I get in,.....runs are *not* my strong point, but I guess it would make me stronger at them, for sure.

It will for sure be a spiritual experience for me on all sorts of levels, this piece is something else.
