I'm on holiday! So far I have achieved:
1 Prom. Technically that was yesterday but still. It was an achievement. Te Deum is a big fuck-off sing. I think it's the first time CEFC's been conducted by a female conductor. It's definitely the first prom I've ever done with a female conductor. She was really awesome. Very clear beats, very nice, wearing a really cool dress-coat-thing and generally very cool. We are also awesome but a) we are one of three choirs and b) you may have to take my word for it because we were a long, long way away from the front of the stage. WOO VERTIGO.
Actually, I think my favourite bit was the first two chords. The orchestra plays a chord, which is loud. There is a bar's rest, during which you can practically hear the organist cracking his knuckles and thinking pshht, you think that's loud? And then he plays a chord of his own, and it is LOUD. And that is my favourite part of the whole piece.
1 lie-in
2 viewings of The Goonies (one with director and cast commentary)
1 page of really random 2 page comic strip - in pen! So even though it is horrible there is nothing I can do about it now (because my computer image editing skils SUCK). I will pen-ify the second page and scan it in and then it will rot away in a subfolder somewhere forever, as it should, because it's terrible. But still.
1 new webcomic addiction (Celadore! Although now I need to stay away from Zuda comics, it's a minefield of addictive awesomeness and really slow-loading explorer-crash-risk pages...)
2 cups of coffee
2 successful avoidances of joining in with wank on the internet. (Sidenote: I spent a good couple of hours last week reading the Fandom Wank Wiki and enjoyed it immensely. SEND HELP.)
0 reading of Shatter samples even though I checked my work email out of interest and I think they're all/nearly all in now. I do not have to look. I am on holiday. Yes.
0 words of anything. In fact, I think -1 because I opened Impossible and deleted a word. Bah.
I am about to achieve groceries, and then this evening I will try to achieve food that is not Matzos. (In other news: MATZOS. They are not food in any traditional nutrient-based sense of the word, but I have so missed them. Apparently they don't grow in Barking. This would make more sense to me if it wasn't for the fact that I never had any trouble getting hold of them in Carlisle.)
