In 2023, I had a post from yesterday to mark the anniversary of my starting this blog 19 years ago, but it is 2024 now, so now it must be 20 years even.

I mean, it's not twenty-one, but, it's another year!

There are several sirens in the distance. Maybe they are to celebrate the 20th anniversary.

Maybe I'll switch my music to ( Read more... )

Guess what, LiveJournal!

As of 3:07 p.m., I got a message that the librarians found the specific book I had been looking for!!

It is Penelope Andrews' "From Cape Town to Kabul!"

I don't know what it is about, past what I could see online, which was not much.

I will probably get it on Saturday, since this evening I am going to an orchestra concert ( Read more... )

And it's true every cockatiel I bred from my bird Kramer I gave a Greco-Roman name because I didn't trust their survival rates. Ergo logically if one croaked I wouldn't get upset.

The Audubon people wrote, "Audubon Mid-Atlantic applauds the Governor’s decision to appeal the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court’s decision regarding Pennsylvania’s ( Read more... )

Today I tried maybe two or three Duolingo Japanese-to-Chinese exercises but there was a dog barking in the background at the same time as my attempt so I immediately stopped since I couldn't focus. I mean, I know I have earplugs but I also find them annoyingly itchy in my head so it didn't work out as well as could be fathomed. There's also the ( Read more... )

Considering the medium, I thought the orchestra was doing what it could to preserve itself. When I was a freshman in undergraduate school, I have read in my researches about what happens to beehives: a disease called colony collapse disorder. I figured that the orchestra making us watch the tube was the orchestra's way of making sure it didn't ( Read more... )

In reality, I find such memorials whenever I find them of other people Very Boring, but this is my own reaction, and as it turns out, I was just watching with my mother and cockatiel whatever they put on American TV for the recent passing of the Duke of Edinburgh as a method to distract myself from my own painful difficulties, so I am going forth ( Read more... )

I had the Neon Genesis Evangelion theme song Cruel Angel's Thesis stuck in my head. When it was on when I was a chibi they DID play the original music on American TV without making a new version ( Read more... )

THIS IS MY MRI DESCRIPTION

When I picked Beethoven from the playlist and was told it was the 6th symphony, I WAS EXPECTING THE BEGINNING OF THE PASTORALE WHEN I SMILED HAPPILY AND CLIMBED INTO THAT COMFY MRI MACHINE!! *tear* ( Do MRI officials deem the whole symphony inappropriate for mass consumption? )

My dictionary suggests нечестный, недобросовестный, несправедливый, неблагоприятный, and a couple other ne words besides пристрастный. But aren't the people telling me these things (that my main focus needs to rest solely on finding meaningful employment and life's unfair to their typical patients so I shouldn't be acting this way) those with ( Read more... )

This Thursday I'm materialising in Immaculata for the initial symphonic rehearsal.
I bypassed auditions this year by having a long past history of superb oboe performance. I don't remember if I've played with this ensemble before - I don't think so, I remember more Chesco Pops (the ensemble from which I got into that accident). I think Marilyn is ( Read more... )
