Now with more post-tonality

I suppose I should have put this up sooner.

I’m doing a recital this Sunday at 1:00 in the SBH at St. John’s.  It is a half recital with Steph Kueber.  I’ll be singing some Vaughn-Williams, Corenelius and some Webern, so it should be pretty fun.  I hope that you can attend, I’d love to see you there.

Anyone want to aid to my denial?

Last year I spent my 24th birthday drinking too much Premium and frosting cupcakes in Maur 108.  This year my…umm.. shall we say 2nd 24th birthday will be spent in the Cities.  Michael and I are meeting at our halfway point on the 22nd and staying until the 25th.  If anyone would like to help me ignore the fact that I have actually reached my mid 20’s, do call.  Michael and I would love to see any of you who will be around next weekend.

So remember on New Year’s Eve when I told you all about one of my favorite students, Elvis, who is obsessed with Halloween/horror related things. He is in my special ed art class and it doesn’t matter how innocent my art project is…it always turns EVIL. This is his Christmas story that he wrote and recited to me from memory during art one day. I asked for a copy of it and I finally got it in my mailbox today. Awesome.

T’was the fright night before Christmas.

And all through the house,

not a creature was eaten except for a mouse.

 

The stockings were all hung by the chimney with care,

then opened that morning became a Christmas nightmare.

 

The children were all snug in their beds,

got a lot of eyeballs and half eaten heads.

 

And what to my wondering eyes should appear

but a human flesh sleigh and demonic reindeer.

And a dinosaur Santa so evil, demonic and sick.

I know it; it cannot be St. Nick.

 

From house to house with a sense of joy.

Now the dinosaur Santa ate every girl and boy.

He roared way out of sight.

Merry Christmas to all and we will MMMMM have a bite.

Epop – Anywhere, anytime with anyone

While I was searching one early morning for a game to play with a friend in Seoul, Korea I found a digital version of Epop for Facebook.  It toted a wikipedia definition, so I checked that out.  It seems they have yet to add Epop to the list of synonyms, but there are websites devoted to our favorite pastime.  I noticed specifically that there were some warnings about illustrations containing sex and violence.  No warning though about blasphemy and religious symbols; maybe that’s a consequence of a higher education at a private institution. 

I wish I had the time to find out which one provides the best set-up to play without actually testing them all out, but I don’t. I should have already gone to bed.  I figure the ones not on Facebook would be best, since that’s more inclusive to our friends who don’t have it.  If you feel like checking out the links at the bottom of the wikipedia article and rating them, that would be great.  Then we can set up a huge game with friends abroad and between gatherings… just a thought!
