wbur pledge drive = my own personal hell

oh, i *heart* my new icon. ::pets the lovey boys::

i dreamed this morning about sunday a.m. choir rehearsal. we were singing i-don't-know-what but suddenly it turned into a medley of tunes which included stand by your man. it got pretty rowdy and they all started dancing. someone leaped out of the alto section and did a jump split. four men stood up front and did some impressive barbershop. i had long since stopped conducting and just watched in bemusement. that's all i remember.

i worked myself into some serious weepiness yesterday, just contemplating sirius and remus. i mean... it's a little troubling actually. i had a lot of driving to do - here to roxbury to lexington to reading. and the whole way i just kept thinking of them and... yes. made me weepy. may have actually shed a tear or two. this is new for me. i mean, not the obsessiveness, but the level of emotional involvement. not that i haven't been made weepy by an exceptionally good fic before... but there was no fic involved here, just thinking. perhaps i need to take a little step back. heh.

oh, freaky. it's pledge of allegiance time at the school across the street. nothing like hearing a bunch of 5-8 year olds chanting their devotion to the nation. ::shudder::

ok, i am SO ready to be astoundingly productive today. i just found out that a music school in cambridge is looking for an admin. ::raises hand:: memememe. that's MY job. i want it. mine mine mine. so... applying for that and cleaning the house. and maybe, if i'm good, something crafty.

Have you read Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy (beginning with The Golden Compass)? When the third one (The Amber Spyglass--forgive me, as a fellow geek you probably know these books too!) came out, I read all three of them together, and the ending of the last book just broke me. I remember driving around for several days afterwards just thinking about the characters (don't want to give too much away) and really getting weepy. Like, so weepy that when I finally reached the post office (or wherever I was going), I'd have to wipe my eyes and get a hold of myself before going in. So... I know whereof you speak!

Oh my goodness, they're such good books. And I know some people who didn't get all weepy at the ending... kinda curious to see if you do!
