I know that I had ideas, I had these ideas that I wanted to write about, write about here, but now, now they are gone, gone, and all I am left with, I am left with this ungainly repetition of phrases, of these phrases in order to get this first paragraph, to get this first graf long enough so that my drop cap will not look silly.

From the New York Timescorrections page: "The Advertising column in Business Day yesterday, about the sponsorship of a concert and prayer tour by the Chevrolet division of General Motors, misstated the name of a performer taking part. He is Michael W. Smith, not W. Michael Smith."

This evening and most of tomorrow, I will be learning to be a less mediocre bell choir director. I am sure that they will point out that (a) my pinky-inside-the-handle-of-the-bell technique is immoral, (b) the bell pieces I have composed are atrociously atonal, and (c) the seriousity in which I take more role is absenter than absent. It should be fun.
But. Please tell me which four of these seminars I should sign up for this evening. (Blogger's been down, or else I would have had this up earlier today.)
Music for Levels I, II and III (pretty much should, I suppose)
Music for Levels IV and V (no)
AFC Reading Session (um, huh?)
Treble Bells Techniques (no)
Bass Bells Techniques (no)
Directors’ Concerns (perhaps)
Clapper Clinics (um, huh?)
Area III Board Chat Room (likely not allowed)
Composing and Arranging for Handbells (yep)
Advanced Conducting (if only they had beginning...)
Organizational Skills (yes! this is so what I need! except...uh...more of a life overview of such skills, rather than a bell-specific discussion. but still.)
Bells in Worship (perhaps)
Beginning Directors’ Issues (probably a good idea)

My Sixpence single finally came yesterday, so the winner is me with my guess of a week ago today. Yay me. "Northern Lights" is okayly okay, at least on first listen; Sixpence's B-sides can't all be "Sad But True"s, I suppose.

Wow. For the second time in two election cycles, a politician in a Midwest state running for Congress (first Carnahan in Missouri, now Wellstone in Minnesota) has died in a plane crash. Sad, and strange.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
