As part of the process of preparing for the Lieder Singers concert in two weeks' time, I've just returned from a voice lesson with Susan. I was a bit nervous beforehand, as I haven't had any sort of a lesson or coaching session since before Christmas, but I think it went quite well.

There are quite a few options of things to do tonight. My friend Adam (who I see approximately once a year, and who, at one time, was my very best friend in the whole world) is in town and playing poker tonight.. there's a dinner/raucous party happening at Kevin's... something is bound to go down at Bryce's house later... and here I am, watching ( Read more... )

This past weekend has been a blur of borshch, ballads and bouts. Somehow, our Doukhobor choir managed to pull off what was, ostensibly, a miniature version of the USCC Cultural Festival that happens in Castlegar each year in May ( Read more... )

Hey, once you get back into the groove, this contant blogging this is about as natural as flossing daily! Sure, it sucks at first, but after awhile, you start to relish the self-imposed discomfort and focus on the long-term gain ( Read more... )

Nothing's quite working out right, suddenly. My days off have been changed, meaning that my weekend is now Monday-Tuesday. Thus, I've missed an entire sunny weekend altogether, and have awakened on MY Saturday to an empty, messy house and heavy, pewter-coloured clouds looming overhead ( Read more... )
