I've seen a number of beautiful things this weekend. A green field, a blue sky...

After rehearsal Thursday night: the perfect summer day. A slight breeze, white clouds drifting across the dusky sky. Past the parking lot of Trinity Church is a green field, next to an old schoolhouse. I lay down in it, arms outstretched, my eyes seeing nothing and ( Read more... )

Oh hey, LJ-land. Long time.

I was laying on the deck after a run tonight, stretching and cooling down. My glasses were off, and I was looking at the sky, listening to EITS. A plane flew overhead, and I wondered, "How many UFO sightings in the past sixty years were reported by people with bad eyesight?"

I'm sitting in a diner in Roscoe, NY, and I'm looking right at (among others) a Wesleyan University pennant. Appropriate, since I'm heading to Middletown. Between driving from Boston to Binghamton last night and from Binghamton to Middletown today, I've been on the road for 7 and 1/2 hours, and I've got another 3 ahead of me. Lots of time to think ( Read more... )

One of the UMass coxswains is coxing a LTR class at Hamp this week. She told me that Tony, my old coach, had gone down to Princeton to pick up a new Hudson 8+ to demo for the year. Later, after leaving our boathouse, I was driving past the UMass boathouse, when I saw a flash of blue on the trailer outside. I turned around and went back at the first ( Read more... )

Marshall linebacker Kevin Whitworth tries to get up off the field in the middle of the fourth quarter. There is a sudden interlude in the frenzy of the game as he takes off his helmet and rises only to his knees. The sun is beating down and the humidity makes every piece of clothing stick to his skin like heated molasses and Permian is knocking on ( Read more... )

Last night, I had a transformative experience. It was one of those things that reminded you why you fell in love with something long after you were first introduced to it; it was like a husband looking at his wife of 10 years and seeing something that reminded him of their first date. A few members of the rowing club I belong to, Yankee Rowing Club ( Read more... )

I miss New York. It's at the point where it's an almost physical desire to be back there. I know it wouldn't be the same, but while I was down there, I wasn't worrying about finding a job, or any of the other stuff that's on my mind right now. I didn't fully realize how much music has the ability to keep the rest of the world out ( Read more... )

Tonight shall henceforth be known as the first night I go to sleep aware of Pan's Labyrinth. That movie was so messed up. But it was great.

It's 4:30 in the morning on my first day of Spring Break (last one as an undergrad!). I finished with Threepenny Opera earlier today. Since February 24, I have either been in rehearsal or performing in three different ensembles (with the exception of that one snow day). It's time to relax.

Now, another meme, courtesy of in48frames.

I filled this one out a long time ago...I wonder what's changed.
