Is this week over yet?

No?

*hides under blankets*

(This is of course entirely my own fault for procrastinating.)

Performances in 21M.340 (jazz) class today: awesome. I have nothing but respect for the three gentlemen who played sax for us for two and a half hours straight (and the two guys from the class who did piano and "bass" on the piano), and everything sounds so different with the correct instrumentation. Different and ... legitimate. Or something. Further convincing me that I want to learn to play saxophone, once I graduate and start work and get settled and can afford it. :p

And now to write that UAP proposal and learn the bit for choir alto solo auditions. (Totally not going to get it, because I've looked at the list of people auditioning and there are several better than me. But hey, lots of the sopranos audition even though J is amazing, and the tenors in spite of S being amazing -- it'll be a growing experience.)

You can borrow my flute, if you want. Learning how to blow across the top is a bitch, but once you've got that down the fingerings are the same as for sax (or clarinet, or oboe I'm told) except, if I remember correctly, D and E are switched.

Good luck on choir auditions. I hope you get it.

(I lost track of when they were. :( )

And honestly, you are one of the people that made MIT fun for me. Your energy in choir, your Heroes discussions, and everything else. So yeah...

And wasn't Avenue Q amazing???

Avenue Q rocked my socks off -- hysterically funny but still with some pretty heavy things to say. (it's amazing what you can get away with by hiding behind puppets, i guess!)

Cheers to you too -- miss you in choir this semester (Sam's social emails just aren't quite the same) but hope you're enjoying your free mon/thurs evenings. :)

I loved that show ever since I heard the soundtracks.

Aww. Thanks. I miss choir, but I just wasn't enjoying the music, and I usually end up staying in lab later, or going back after my PE class. Hopefully will get a paper out? Maybe? if I'm lucky?

Have a great spring break!
