I have just re-discovered "Réponse d'une épouse sage" by Albert Roussel. I think I have to sing it ( Read more... )

Well, I've just submitted my Mannes application. That makes two in so far. And I was talking to Greg recently, and I remembered that I had never really posted here about my grad school proceedings. So here it is ( Read more... )

Thanks to Target and my dear friend Daniel, I now have a brand new bookshelf with enough room for just about every book I own, plus sheet music, CDs, picture frames and probably some other stuff. I've kept my old bookshelf as well, but it's almost empty.

Mmmm, my boss is in a meeting with the door closed. That means I don't have to try to look productive. After this meeting we're having a second meeting for office staff, so after that I'll have something more substantial to do...but right now, I'm indulging in some totally unproductive time. Okay, except I did look up flights for my boss's ( Read more... )

I love that if I buy pants in the Petites section of Ann Taylor Loft, I don't have to shorten them. Wheeee!

Light in the Piazza tonight with the Finishing the Chat crowd. I feel like I've graduated from FTC Youth to full grown-up member. Plus I told my mom that I was going with a bunch of online friends, and she said, "Oh, that's so great!" ( Read more... )
