This Side of Lost

You may have seen this already, but I would be remiss in warning you that not shooting puppies was never so difficult.

You'll have to excuse my absence from the blogospherez0rz again. We had a pretty busy week and weekend, mostly due to the choir concert on Saturday. Rehearsals on four weeknights will do that. But it went off very well. The audience was large and appreciative, and even contained a number of people who we knew! Thanks for coming out, friends. It really does mean a lot to us.

And now, for my next trick, I am singing two concerts this week with a group called the Meridian Vocal Consort. They are a 16 voice group lead by Michael Messina, the director at Trinity Episcopal in Indianapolis. They are out of town unfortunately -- Thursday night in Louisville and Sunday night in Indianapolis. But if you are willing to travel, I think they're free, and the group is very good -- and if you know me, you know I don't give compliments to choral groups lightly. More details soon (I forgot my schedule at home).

Woot, choir. I love choir. If I could make a living singing in choirs, I would.

In other news:

• My paper for Nisonger's class turned out pretty well. I discovered that ye olde St. Olaf science library has about half the items recommended by some know-it-all chemistry librarian. Not bad for a dinky little liberal arts college in Minnesota. And I got to use my Access skillz. Yeeuh.
• Samantha's fencing kids came over after the concert and played a couple awesome games of Apples to Apples. Fun game, thanks Mom!
• We made risotto on Sunday night. Let me tell you, that's a lot of stirring. It turned out pretty good, if extremely sticky. Maybe I should have kept adding broth? Anyone have any risotto experience?
• My internship supervisor Caroline brought her 8 month old son Broz over to the library for lunch yesterday. He was very cute, and very distracting.
• I ate waaay too much beef yesterday: another GCB from Marvin's and a reuben at Shapiro's Deli. Yes, the sandwich did really look like that. I counted 26 slices of corned beef, not to mention the sauerkraut. Very tasty, but that's just too much meat. My stomach was not happy. Remind me not to have two beef-centric meals in one day.
• Baseball starts this Sunday! Imagine the use of excessive exclamation points (and perhaps a trailing one) to emphasize this fact... I won't actually subject you to such crudeness.

I suppose I should do some work while I'm at work. Just as soon as I get back from lunch. Hee.
