So the past little while has been a little hectic. Last week was the beginning of the "Oh crap, there's only 3 weeks left to complete all the stuff I've been ignoring all term" week. All of you who have done some higher form of education know what this is like. It's all the stuff you've been ignoring, and that your teachers have neglected that gets squished into the last few weeks before exams. This is of course compacted with long term projects and all the social stuff that comes up at the end of the year. This combination has left me with little time to come on here and blog away.
Between Thursday and Saturday I saw three recitals (congrats to Natalie, Christy, and Taylor), and enjoyed the premiere of my Horn Trio at the Student Composers Chamber Music Concert. As well there was celebratory wine to be had Thursday Night at Bertoldi's and celebratory beer to be had on Friday at the Grad Club. In fact Friday night was terrific for I got drunk and chatted up some girl, whom I agreed to go wherever she was going next with, and ditched for the last bus home. Ah alcohol, the story juice.
Aside from that, school has taken over. I have 2 electro pieces premiering in a few weeks in which for one piece I lack performers, and for the other I have the performer but lack the, um, well piece. As well, an acoustic voice piece sits half composed on my desk, due on Tuesday next week. As well my thesis is beginning to build momentum, which of course is starting to build tension and anxiety over the prospect of having to actually write this damn miniature opera. And of course counterpoint looms over everything like the black shadow of death.
And of course, I chose to ignore that tonight, and watch Office Space, and drink wine with Taylor instead. I leave you with my two favourite quotes from that film:
"No Talent Ass Clown"
and
"This is a Fuck"
.... Damn, I love that movie...
