As it's been forever since I've done this (so long that I don't recognize this post page, nor do I approve of this font that I'm typing in or anything else; if it ain't broke, why does LJ insist on trying to fix it?!?):

Yoinked from songquakeRules -- Questions must be answered with only "yes" or "no." One is not allowed to explain any of these answers in ( Read more... )

And now we come to the most intense three days of Holy Week, intentionally designed by early Christians to drive choir members and O/CMs insane. It's interesting to note how various Organist/Choir Masters approach Holy Week and, in particular, the Triduum. Most seem to have things fairly locked down well in advance of now in order to minimize the ( Read more... )

So I posted something in my dreamwidth journal. Just FYI.

(posting the link to the journal and not to the entry because there's a cut-tag in there and it seems to be unobserved if one clicks on the entry itself)

So I'm trying very hard to do all of my posting on Dreamwidth. I don't like at all these new formats that LJ keeps rolling out, I don't like how long stuff takes to load because there are links to Facebook buried in various places (yet another reason I'm not on FB; it's a long list of reasons), and other places and so on. And I realize I've got a ( Read more... )

Tonight I went off to Trader Joe's and Whole Paycheck to get various items for my pantry. The incumbent "storm" (which, I'm given to understand, is supposed to be mostly rain at least tonight) had nothing to do with it. I made quite a TJ's shopping list the other day and couldn't drag my body out of the house to go have at it ( Read more... )

Well, it's not often that a horoscope can make me cry but Rob Brezny has done it. It's not that I fully believe in astrology, per se, but he writes stuff in a way that is essentially just "here's something for you to think about this week and perhaps going forward, too" and lo, it is often of the helpful.

This week, as has actually been the case ( Read more... )

A colleague of Former Voice Teacher changed positions a couple years ago. His "new" church is about a half hour drive from here, and I've always liked him a lot when we've interacted in the past (he's adjudicated choral festivals that FVT is the coordinator for, and I've been her assistant for several of those). He also has the advantage (for me) ( Read more... )

I took today off from work. Wanted to do more around the house and then get ready for tomorrow and packing insanity ( Read more... )

I seem to be in the midst of a time which reminds me of last March and April... a challenging time to get into work but a good time to work on the house decluttering still more. I'm feeling like I'm drowning in more stuff. I doubt that's actually true but I'm all for thinning the ranks and making major donations to both Goodwill and my garbage ( Read more... )

I just wandered over to the website of my alma mater, The Little State University That Could, because I was curious what my GPA was in order to get the graduation honors I got.  I'm looking at grad schools (why yes, I am a masochist, or at least partially insane) and Another State University offers the degree I want at a price point I might some ( Read more... )
