Nov. 17th, 2005

some of the geeks at MIT did an experiment to test the effectiveness of tinfoil hats, and published their results. :-D

badastronomy talks about it here.

i was so ... geeky

i appreciate that you want to take the top part, when the altos divide, because you came down to the alto section from your previous life as a mezzo-soprano. thing is, so did the second member of the alto section; and i, the first member of the alto section, am actually a first soprano doing the director a favor. you know the one song where the sopranos go up to the A above the staff? i sing that note with them, because i'm the only person in the room who has both that note and the confidence to sing it clearly.

in short: sorry, but please sing second alto kthnx. :-)

i was so ... high

cmshaw is here!

i got to the bus station about 45 seconds before her bus pulled up, and we got her checked in to the guest room here, and we had lunch, and she and my localfriends appeared to find one another amusing, and then i went to choir practice and she's napping, poor tired thing. and in a little bit i'll go wake her up and we'll go have an afternoon and then dinner and fun times at the college bar and YAAAAAAY for people visiting me!

i was so ... giddy
