It feels like all I ever do anymore is travel, or get ready to travel
My conference presentation last week went okay. And the weather was gloriously lovely for driving from Vancouver back to Eugene. I could see all the big snowy mountains: St. Helen's, Adams, Hood, Washington, and the Three Sisters. I love that ( Read more... ) -
Being the new kid and Birthdays
The last couple of days have had their ups and downs. Wednesday evening I went out for some beers (well, some pear cider, actually) with several of my coworkers. It was all women, mostly around my age except for one who's been here 30 years, and was my first social outing. We did end up talking shop, but I got my first introduction to office ( Read more... ) -

Just like the first Easter...
Friday night I played Bach's Cantata 106 ("Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit") in a concert at a local LDS church. It's such a lovely cantata, with two luscious swirly obbligato gamba parts. The concert wasn't bad considering that we had at best maybe 4 hours of rehearsal time, and only ever ran the entire piece once prior to the performance. ( Read more... ) -

My Powerbook, which has been fussy and problematic for the last several months, decided to stop working yesterday. I have a bad feeling that the hard drive is shot-- when I try to power it on, I get the chime and the light comes on on the latch button, but there's no sound of the hard drive spinning up, and nothing further happens. It won't even ( Read more... ) -

This weekend had a lot of lovely moments, even though I was having an epic Day of Fail on Saturday. Still, that said, I'm not sure which was the best: spending time with my grovemates at the Spoon and setting our calendar for the year; dancing with my troupemates and my awesome students at our hafla; eyeing a very handsome gaius_de_mare looking all dashing in ( Read more... ) -

21st-century gypsy
My time in Seattle was excellent all around. I enjoyed the conference, my paper seemed to be well received, and I made some good contacts. I quite enjoyed all of the presentations I saw as well, save one where the mode of delivery irritated the fuck out of me rather negated the quite worthwhile points that were being made. Also, I met Asha ( Read more... )
