Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

How low a number of voices for the Barber Agnus Dei would still be effective in a 2-3,00 seat space with good acoustics, or decent mics and sound system? How many would be optimum?

A capella? You better have a fucking good choir. (I assume this is an imaginary choir.) For that piece, I think it's up to eight parts, and you'd want at least four people on a part, so minimum of around 30-ish? I mean, there are probably groups that could do it with fewer people, but I'd want four on a part.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yeah, thanks! For this hypothetical choir in a hypothetical Wait Chapel (WFU, Winston-Salem), a friend was insisting two people per part would be fine, since the hall is relatively small. Yes, in floor space. It's cavernous, though. I was thinking more between thirty and fifty, the larger the number, the better. Two people per part would be too intimate--I don't even know if they could successfully sing the piece. Thanks!

That piece has really long lines and not a lot of time to breathe.

I am on a transit adventure because of construction. Eventually I will find my way to the Target.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I went to Target! And got a Captain America hoodie, among other things.

Everyone's happy with what I'm doing, and I didn't even ask for the two raises (I was going to, but hadn't yet, when they happened) but someone else went to bat for me and pushed them through.

That's great, though!

Bonus for getting to the airport early: I ran into my hairdresser (and owner of my hair salon) who had just missed her flight, and she treated me to a massage at one of those airport express spas! So now I feel awesome!

Sweet!

Congrats on the raise and support, JZ. Sorry about the extra stress.

Fun, Amyth! I was just at your salon this morning (lash and brow dye) and wondered where the owner was.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Buffista parents hivemind: Is it possible for a 2 1/2 month old to be teething already? ltc has been trying to stick her whole fist in her mouth the last couple of days, and has been fussier than normal. The fussy could be from the little cough she has, but the fist thing seems like teething to me. Mom swears I had two teeth at 4 months old.

I couldn't find any character underpants for ladies! Was my store just bullshit?
