metres to go before I sleep
May. 10th, 2006 11:23 pmLast week's rehearsal: painful. Let's just leave it at that.
Let's not. Let's expand it briefly by saying that our choir director sent out a sort of apology e-mail, which I think was a good thing, and part of me thought it might be a good thing if some of the choir sent out apologies as well.
I did not seriously consider just not showing up for the concert.
Not seriously.
This week's rehearsal: the polar opposite. There were still some snags and things that really, by this point in time, we should have down pat and should not need to work on. But they were the exception, not the rule. Considering the fact that this is our last rehearsal before our final concert, this is a good thing.
Freedom Trilogy is a little ho-hum. We're slightly off, don't have Cassandra belting out the Amazing Grace solo, no drums... meh.
But the Cohen Hallelujah arrangement is... trancendent. Just completely and totally uplifting and glorious. Um. Wow.
Kurt's going to have somebody recording, and I hope that song turns out well. It's never the same, though, in a recording. There isn't the amazing live miracle feeling.

Spent most of Tuesday walking, and most of Wednesday driving. Went to Daniel's chemistry class (ten home schooled kids, at one home schooling mom's house, learning about chemistry. This week's lesson was "smell". The boys made me perfume for Mother's Day. Daniel's was vanilla, cinammon, and thyme, and Justin's was sandalwood, lemon, and cinammon. Both very, very nice.
It's still so odd to go to my mother's house (which I have to, a couple of times a week, to water the plants and bring in the mail and reassure the insurance company that the house is not abandoned). It's... it's just odd.

mynuet and lherelenfeline, much food for thought has been munched upon in my mind, re your comments on conservativism. Mucho mental munching. Thank you.

thursday100plus re. a website, and I think I'll keep plugging away at the website. I'm sure it'll only be of interest to about 30 people max, but seeing as how about 95% of the work has already been done, I may as well put it up. So far I'm up to January 2004, with February almost done too.

Chris' last day as a resident will be June 9. That's 30 days. Between now and then, he has 6 call days. It's a little unreal.
