i go back to school on monday–which is why i didn’t make the trip with The Girlfriend this weekend–i’ve got lots of absolutely nothing to do so that i can mentally prepare for the upcoming semester. see, i know i’m going to be busy every day from monday through june, so i’m taking my last opportunity to sit around, watch basketball, download music, and play DDR to my heart’s content.
for anyone who is interested, my choir is gearing up for a concert the 8th of March. it’s a departure for us, i think, as most of the music is spiritual in nature. it’s fun for me because i’m getting back to music i’ve not sung in years plus learning new stuff–we have a new commission that features overtone singing and some interesting looking musical instruments called “whirlies.” growing up i’d always been in chamber choirs and groups that did a fair amount of sacred music, so being able to sing some of that again makes me smile.

we’re learning to do harmonic overtones too! though I’m pretty sure no whirlies are involved in our song.
so, Vox is going to Mexico instead of GALA? we’ll miss you in Miami.
