Hey, kids, guess what time it is! It's STUPID-O'CLOCK!!
I just want state that I'm not actually opposed to the whole "I like to rise when the sun she rises" idea. That's OK, and is something that I occasionally do (though not that often recently).
Preceding the sun on this whole 'rising' thing is an entirely different story ( Read more... ) -
Well, I'M not getting back to sleep anytime soon...
Stupid "trapped in the late Cretaceous" dreams. I actually survived longer this time than most, mainly because I was bright enough to go out onto a lake where the raptors couldn't follow me (I used giant lilypads). Raptors can't swim.

Princeton Contra
I didn't feel at all prepared for this dance (I printed out the music earlier in the day), but I was pleasantly surprised at how well things went. I think the trick is just convincing myself to relax ( Read more... ) -

This by itself is problematic, since the score sort of needs a minimum of 4 violinists to play all of the notes on the page at times. What made it crazier for ( Read more... ) -

Interesting discovery of the day: my stand-mate in pit orchestra knows Jeremy Kittel, having gone to school with him in Michigan.
Opening Night is this Friday. I still have the comp ticket, and I can possibly procure an additional two. You know you want to go to one of the performances. -
In Which I Take Up A New Instrument
So, at Sweeney Todd rehearsal tonight, our conductor asked me if I could do her a favor. It seems that our drummer can't make two of the performances, and he has some fairly conspicuous parts that need to be played. Nothing difficult, more like atmospheric stuff that occasionally needs to show up in the musical numbers (knocking, banging a washtub ( Read more... ) -

Snow is pretty and sparkly.
But shoveling it takes away some of its luster. -
sylvansafekeepe, Shameless Self-Promotional Division
I have one remaining complimentary ticket to Narberth Community Theatre's production of Sweeney Todd. Performance dates are March 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, and 21 at 8 PM (Fri & Sat), and March 8 and 15 at 2 PM. I am unsure which, if any, of these dates are currently sold out ( Read more... )
