summary of things beginning with C:
Oct. 18th, 2007 12:29 amchorus: Monday, lots of work on McCartney and Holst and ten minutes at the end on Walton. Walton is not in good shape. Director says "Okay, we'll begin with Walton on Wednesday, for sure." Today, lots of work on McCartney and ten minutes at the end on Walton. Fortunately, it sounded better this time. (Walton and Holst, for all they're under-rehearsed, at least make musical sense, so they need less going-over. McCartney is a man of many gifts, but choral composing is just not among them. Or it wasn't in this case. I am ignorant of his Liverpool Oratorios; they might be lovely and sensible. I'm just inclined to doubt it.)
car: WOW. New clutch, and suddenly the pedals are more responsive than I can remember them ever being, ever, ever, ever. I suppose this means the clutch has been slowly deteriorating over a long period (as things do, that wear out), but holy SHIT, I went to back out of the parking space and the car LEAPED like a racing animal that's heard a starting gun. This is going to take some getting used to. But on the plus side, my car is back, and I am rid of the incredibly stupid white Chevy Cobalt.
curling: Save me from teams that are already calling for spares, for a whole day's worth of games (okay, which is two games, but still), before the event has even begun. I know things come up, but DUDES.
In non-C-initial news, I did a small load of laundry, but decided it was small enough and of appropriate materials that I could just hang the stuff to dry, so I've saved a buck and a half and also a 45-minute dryer cycle ... which means I can go to bed now, instead of after 1! Woo-hoo!
Also, my hat came, and it fits. Yay! (I can put that in the C-initial column, though, because it goes under Cleveland.)
