Whew. Finished reading all my friends' entries. Or most of them. Admittedly, I skipped
shadesong and
theferrett. I think they'll manage without me.
Now for things I wanted to say and didn't feel like putting into comments.
1. Politics:
I can't say whether America got the president they deserve. But now that Bush won, deal with it. The worst thing to do would be to fall into some sort of apathy and saying democracy doesn't work. Let's face it: this time, he actually did win. And if the majority of the Americans wanted him, you can think that is stupid, but they have the right to vote for him. That's the point of a democracy.
This is the place we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in...
2. People
scathedobsidian is one very lucky man. And if he isn't, he should be.
jaded_dreamer is very sexy. And very beautiful.
proetida should wear short skirts more often. She looks great!!
tuva was a very cute child.
I think those were the main things that came into my mind today.
We all know that most people on my flist are amazing writers / artists.
3. Hugs
I love you all. Hugs for the people who need them. [Insert good advice here] for people who need that.
A little devil for
tuva so she remembers to have some fun.
OK, and now for an account of my week.
( Tuesday )
( Wednesday )
( Thursday )
( Friday )
Workday starts at quarter past seven, so I get off early. Fridays I can get out at quarter to twelve, so I hit the road today long before the main weekend traffic and only got into one traffic jam all the way.
But ging to bed at nine feels late now. I'm usually so exhausted from meeting new people and learning new things that I just have dinner around half past five and go to bed a little while later.
Coming home today I was in time to take the dog for a walk and then get to choir rehearsal. The oratory by Frank Martin was okay, though not perfect. The Mauersperger was stellar. We were so great, even though we were singing a capella.
And the soloists for the Martin are fantastic. We have our favorite tenor to work with, he usually joins us for Christmas oratory as well and he gets along with the choir really well. When he sang his solo today, one of the younger sopranos behind me turned to a friend and said "Gosh, he's so hot." Now he isn't really hot. But his voice is, definitely. I'd think half of the choir has a crush on him just for that voice. And the base was fantastic, too. I don't think I've worked with him before. He's pretty young and not at all as bog as you'd think he is, and still he fills the whole church with his voice. I think I got a crush on him, too. ;-)
Tomorrow morning dentist's appointment and later final rehearsal. I should also do some shopping and get a haircut. Then in the afternoon the concert.
I have to go back on Sunday so I'll be on time for work on Monday. Need to get a parking sign for my car to prove I have the right to park on the base. Need to take a picture to put on my ID.
