One-note Wonders
I dreamt I was asking or being asked, if composers stood at a piano and were asked to play one note, what would it be? I only came up with these before the dream changed/I woke up ( Read more... ) -
I was posting on Facebook and thot, back in the day, this would have been an LJ entry…
Wow. Very powerful. So many profound, touching, and inspiring stories and ideas packed into 17 minutes. Do watch ( Read more... ) -
Greg's Halloween Adventure
Well that was fun! Just finished digging my food out of the snow bank out back. ("Just" was in the morning when I started this.) The food kept just fine. Here's why it needed to ( Read more... ) -

ohmygodThatWasSoTOTALLYAWESOME!! Dick Dale at the Iron Horse tonight. I was moved. It was painful not having a dance floor or even any danceable space on the floor. So grateful to Em for bringing it to my attention! Made my week. :D -

Fweww. Back from Dawn Dance. I am showered, shaved, and soon to be slept. My laundry rack is currently full not of clean clothes, but of clothes that need to dry before I can put them in my laundry hamper. :) Those of you who are keeping track will remember that back in May, I was unable to attend the dance.

But perhaps the language used in a given ideology or the specific aspects of mind and emotion it appeals to provides ( Read more... ) -
Alison Krauss & Union Station
Saw them on Sunday. What a treat! Very special. Dan Tyminski has a very distinctive voice. I wish they had played "Man of Constant Sorrow" earlier in the evening so I could have enjoyed his songs without thinking, "Boy, that sounds like 'Man of Constant Sorrow.'" :-) My favorite new song of the night was one by the bassist. Can't remember a lick of ( Read more... ) -
Ahhhh…
Don't get me wrong; I had a fantastic weekend. Perfect, really. But today I notice I am irritable. That's what happens when you have such a sustained release of dopamine over a long period of time and then have to come down from it. At least, that's what happens to me ( Read more... )
