anabelwumpkins is in the air! delayed slightly, though, so she'll be getting in right after midnight. which is actually kind of late for me these days. because i am an old lady? yes.

i went to boulder today to meet with myrtle about the monteverdi edition of which i just finished a draft and my repertoire list. i came back from boulder with a whole bunch of loot, including:
-a new pair of the same flip flops i've been wearing for the last three summers which have word down so much they were no longer miraculously comfortable and supportive
-a pair of keen shoes that are more comfortable than they are attractive which is not always how i roll. but my feet have been feeling kind of messed up lately, so. we'll see how this goes.
-a giant score for spem in alium. myrtle saw it on my rep list and decided i really should own it and so gave me hers. i am pretty psyched about this. it's a piece for 40 different parts so it is rather unlikely i'll ever conduct it and thus was not likely to purchase it for myself. however, i love tallis and all that enlish renaissancey stuff and i'm very happy to own it.
-another nerd score, a framed poster of a page of the old hall manuscrpit. myrtle said she gave it to me bc she knew i would know what it was. of course! what early english choral nerd wouldn't?
-a heaping pile of octavos myrtle is getting rid of for whatever reason. including some good stuff for women's chorus.

so, yeah, totally scored. :)

oh! and now rach is home and it's dinner timez! maybe i'll be back later with mcr high school au recs and highway decisions, etc.
