Miscellany
Oct. 13th, 2010 12:23 pmGood Alle Psallite practice last night. There was ALTO WIN on both "With Wreaths of Rose and Laurel" AND Tallis' "Salvator Mundi". Praise Jesus and all the saints, I'm actually finally getting the hang of the alto 2 line on the latter. Only three more practices until performance at Crown Tourney so I need to keep banging along with the midi in my free time. I also need to come up with something to sing for the performance part of the Chalice competition next week. Blarg. I am so uninspired. Hrm. Maybe since I got the position of Baronial Bard this time around for a fantastic booty-shaking dance, I should dance with a snake. The theme of the competition is "Medusa" and everybody loves snake dances, amirite?
In other news, Hubbyfink and I have made yet another step into the 21st century: I bought our first blu-ray player. I'd been holding out against upgrading because I didn't know that blu-ray players would also play DVDs. Silly me.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zipmeister set me straight on that account and now we are ready for big screen magic when Hubbyfink makes that third step into the 21st century by buying an HDTV in the next month or so. (I went ahead and got the player because it was on sale and I had gift cards to burn.) I'm so excited about the player because it's Netflix enabled so we don't have to use the Wii for Netflix Instant Watch. Suh-weet. It's also Pandora-enabled. Pretty sweet.
I may be getting some new job duties and I'm pretty excited about it. A lot of workdays, I'm just waiting for someone to call or IM me with a question. Occasionally, I am very, VERY busy. But for the most part, I'm answering emails and stamping out fires for the first half of my day and losing at solitaire during the afternoon. Bossman thinks I'm a star for agreeing to do this new stuff; I'm not going to dissuade his impression.
