Daniel Knaggs does a good doctoral recital. It's been awhile since I saw a Rice recital anyway, and the quality of the compositions and the performances were both worth the schlep from home. It does make me wanna write something, though. -

Winnie had four babies day before yesterday. I keep carving rocks. I pulled off a new-music gig with very little warning for the first time in ages. Sylvie is still confined to my room most of the time. It's still too cold, though there was one day that was paradise. I hope the sun comes back soon. -

I have restored my data after a catastrophic hard drive failure around Thanksgiving. It is nice to have my own computer back. -

Tony's in town for the holidays, and despite his family's drama, he got to come over last night. We spent a lot of time trading music, but there was a significant amount of just catching up, too. He is an awfully good cuddle. And I don't think it's just that I don't often have the opportunity ( Read more... ) -

It has been Christmas for awhile, and I don't have to go to work. It seems like more of a change than I think it is. I remember getting back from grad school and, before Dan hired me or I had any regular ensembles, making up things to do to fill the days.

Wow. That may be the best show experience I've had since Tony Beliveau handed me a piano string right off the stage.
I arrived in Austin, found a relatively convenient and free parking spot, and confirmed the time of the show with the bartender at the Hole In The Wall (very apt, really). I spent the remaining 7 hours mostly in the car, ( Read more... ) -

It's gonna be three eventful weekends in a row. Last weekend, it was Halloween, my very favorite. I even had a costume all day; it turned out really well, and I made a crown for it that I'm still pretty proud of. With materials I got (except the leaves) (well, actually most of the quartz I already had, also) from the weekend before, at the Gem Show ( Read more... ) -

Well, I am back from Boston.
It was an odd trip, but a good one. Though I do not like how Brent and Tony act in each other's company at all. Luckily, most of the trip was not with them together.
AND IS SAW KING LEAR! Oh, man. -

So much singing, so much birthday. Many yay. -

I am intimidated by tomorrow. This is the first year that Yom Kippur services, my period, and my birthday have all coincided. I'm basically on my feet singing from 11am to 7:30pm.
But Reggie is going to take me to the Barber Violin Concerto after that, so I will drive very fast away from temple. We'll see how late the service goes.
