I am about to go for a mid-day run. wish me luck.
A couple things that are going on in my life.
1. I am enamored with an early music group "le Poeme Harmonique". I wish we could have that group here.
2.I wish there was an early music community here that offered daring yet HIP programming.
3.I wish the Lady from CBI would stop sending me boxes of conference proceedings.
4.I wish I could get used to not double tapping the space bar after a sentence.
5.I wish I could get my brain to count 32nd notes while holding a dotted half tied to an eighth note.
6.I wish the oil industry could be accountable for the disaster that has happened.
7.I wish I remembered to put my watch on this morning.
That is all

Joe Mama.
UGGGH!
Right now I am rehearsing in the Choir for AIDA with the Chorale/Orchestra. I have decided that it is just insufferable and I will never do a summer chorale project again. Picture 100 people who all have their own ideas how Italian is supposed to be pronounced. Half of the people are practically yelling because they want you to know how big their voices are. Top that off with about 10 Diva types who survive on the Idol worship from their peon fan-club, and the guy in front of me who is super nice, but has ADD, and is obnoxious and can't sit still.
I almost finished, The Small Rain last night. Wow, it is heart wrenching. Whereas I can't say that the character Katherine and I are one in the same, I really empathize with her, and pity her at the same time. L'Engle's writing is so easy to read- yet there is something wonky with the Narrator voice. Perhaps it is not consistent- Who knows. After I finish that I think I am going to read, The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury. That will be a bit of a change
I am meeting with Mentee tonight. I wonder what we will do??? Reading for sure, but maybe we will check out the Minnehaha Rec Center.
Randoms of the day: White bouncing Ferret, UFC...really, excellent french press, opaque, dead snapping turtle, kitteh rejection due to fan, more furniture rearranging.

Thriller
Oh, so last night I had a beer with Marita and we were talking about MTV, and she brought up thriller which she had remembered watching. I brought up that we had wanted to learn it for R and B's wedding. So I got up in Ol Mexico and started to do the thriller moves and explained how at the cabin we started dancing and people got injured, and these two older ladies next to me just started to talk to us. I think they thought I was nuts, as I was dancing in Ol' Mexico.
I wish there was a regular broadcast channel that played music videos, new and old. (although, its not like MTV and VH1 ever play videos anymore, and I am too cheap for cable anyway)
More Randomness: The UN is in session yet again, Giant Burger picture, Ewok Magnets, Zhena's Gypsy Tea, I want an Iced Caramel Macchiato.
