happy Monday!

I slept a lot this weekend and was not wildly productive. I did make it to lostvoice's birthday pub night, also to chamber choir practice. I had fun at the former and think I'm going to enjoy the latter -- it's a nice group (of whom, bizarrely, three people plus me are from my choir and four are from my mother's choir; small world) and the music is tricky ( Read more... )

choir, books

you sound AWFULLY chipper now.... **iz confuzzled**

in other news, I am predictably sucked in by _Heartland_ on CBC. They even mentionned TTOUCH! for HORSES last night (they demo'd it all wrong, but STILL!) It makes me kind of glad I hadn't gotten around to reading the books ;).

Wow, I wish I had as much time to read... well that is, other than school related articles and books!

Good for you!

you also need to understand that Ell's sooper-seekrit super power is the ability to read LIGHTENING fast. She doesn't so much read books as INHALE them ;). Us mere mortals simply look on in awe....

Also, most of the time, it's not like I'm reading wildly complex books that I have to struggle to understand. Those take me longer.

Although I believe monkeycommando is still a little bitter about the time I read Foucault's Pendulum in 2 1/2 days.

you read it in 2.5 days?!!! Un.Be.Liev.Able.

Also, some of us still take months to read Gaudy Night....

It's really a wonder I EVER got all them funky letters that follow my name that suggest I have read lots of stuff....

(though I think 13 years of post-secondary education with a focus on matters literary and discoursal may well have broken me, or at least my desire/ability to read like a mad fool ;).

Thanks! I hope you're right. They did seem very happy to have me there, anyway. ;)

Great to see you Saturday!

Friend of Eric's -- he was at Steve's wedding if that helps. He may even have made a speech. And he started it.

Dan Condie, AKA Condo.

Steve's Best Man. The unusual five-man band for the evening was me, Steve, Zac, Condo, and ELL. Robin got de facto guy'd early on. I only recognized the ass grabbing on Dan's part, and was somewhat disturbed on two counts:

-he'd just met ELL
and
-he's engaged

so I thought it was a bit forward.

Then I remembered the honorary guy induction, and the fact that the grabbing of ass which I witnessed occured while ELL was lining up her pool shot, and realized that Dan may have been having trouble being on the bottom rung of pool players that evening, with Zac and me, and not up in the elite borderline semi-competent group with ELL and Steve.

Mind you, the mimed groping of boob was also a little disconcerting.
