pleasures and plans
Read/Post Comments (1)
Eight pleasures:
(1) eerily excellent tarot reading
(2) shumai, edamame, and apple pie for breakfast. And hot coffee.
(3) listening to Bach - there's always something new to learn, even when one's performed the piece before and even when the performance one's at happens to be a mess.
(3a) the soloists were excellent (...while singing, anyway. Do conservatories not coach people anymore on the parts when they aren't singing?)
(4) running into friends at intermission and chatting about Israel
(5) nuzzly dog
(6) new antivirus program installed (I'm hopeful that it will be a better fit for me than the old one)
(7) writing/submitting mojo back in the house (as predicted, right when it's not a convenient week for it. Running with it anyway.)
(8) postcard from St Kitts! Such a pretty blue!
Via Lori-Lyn, originating from Magpie Girl: eight projects currently on my burners...
(1) finishing poem-cards to sell at 2010: A Space Oddity
(2) publicizing General Assembly (per my duties as Denominational Affairs chair), including the Guide for the Frugal Attendee (including the volunteer-in-exchange-for-registration option)
(3) drafting poems and/or flashfic inspired by qarrtsiluni's call for riffs on classics.
(4) practicing the raga I'm supposed to know inside-out four days from now
(5) composing two reviews for Galatea Resurrects
(6) working on my present to the couple whose wedding I attended in Tel Aviv last fall
(7) cajoling myself into carving out time for long walks. Earlier this week, I saw a pair of fingerless elbow-gloves at Fire Finch in a gorgeous shade of blue: who knows if they'll still be there a month from now, but as a carrot, they'll do.
(8) more of the sprezzatura, less stress-bunny-tude. Yes, this is a project, to the extent that I've privately worked through Havi's VPA framework in sorting out what I really intend. Short version: answer "How are you?" with what I'm happy about, rather than what I happen to be fretting over. Especially since I'd much, much rather discuss the former anyhow. (And aren't blog posts -- at least, most of mine -- but a indirect variation of answering "How are you?" So.)
