like why can't i tab to drop down boxes in firefox on my mac? it's weird.
anyway, i've been thinking lately that i should pick the fiddle back up again. really i am. i wish that the bluegrass jam in encinitas was on another night besides thursday. my thursdays are quite crowded enough between choir and dancing...though choir is the main conflict. maybe this summer when choir's on hiatus. that thought should get me in gear. i've been toying with the idea of taking my fiddle to work and practicing there in the evenings. i'd be bothering fewer people there than at my apartment complex. i hope. :)
i suppose i should be glad when i google my name that my website is at the top. not sure how page placement works, but i must be doing something right here. probably because my name appears on every single one of these pages, and heaven knows with the archives, that's a ton. it's interesting to google your own name. see where things about you appear...and what other people with your name are doing - good and bad.
tonight finds me heading toward atomic ballroom for the normal friday night dance then to my mom's house to dog sit and be halfway to tomorrow - disneyland. might be some dancing in store tomorrow night as well, either at disneyland for their normal sat night venue or back to atomic since they're having a special dance of some kind. we'll see. sunday: choir, church, choir for a few extra minutes. (i really wish the director would let me sing first soprano, even if it's just for the sanctus of durufle's requiem. it's so drilled into my head, i can't even begin to hear the second soprano part. aie. i guess worse comes to worse, i'll just sing very softly during that part in case i'm off key. or heck - i'll pick someone's note and sing it. i suppose as long as in key with *someone* i'm fine, right?) that performance is feb 12, so it's starting to consume my thoughts. we just started to hear what the accompaniment sounds like and try to sing to it. what a disaster that is. almost seems like we should have done that ages ago. maybe alternate between with/without so that we could get used to hearing when our entrances are and such. then again, i suppose that's what the practice cd is supposed to be for. on the other hand, it sounds like the recording i already have is a better one. hehe. one of my fellow sopranos told me last night that on the recording, one of the singers "has a vibrato so big you could drive a truck through it." doesn't that sound awful? i'm glad i didn't listen to it. ;)

oh, sorry. valentine's day is coming up, too. or as my coworker called it yesterday, "singles awareness day". ;)
