Our Cantata was yesterday, two performances... went very well... many folks said they were touched... my solos went well (so I'm told)... I just can't get used to bein' told I have a beautiful voice... cuz I don't think so... The choir director wants me to do a duet with her this Sunday... Oh Holy Night... I love that song... never dreamed of actually performing it...
Hope it went well for you bro...
;o)
I sing in public too, when I am drunk at Karaoke bars...
I have decided that twice a week (Monday and Friday perhaps?) the Daily Tolkien will be an article written by a "Tolkien Virgin" (Mark-Edmond) who as he reads/has read the books about Middle Earth for the first time gives a short article with his thoughts and commentary about what he has read to that point. He has read so far, The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and has almost finished The Lord Of The Rings.
His pace is approximately 1 or 2 chapters per article and if you would like to reread the books (or even read for the first time if you are also a Tolkien Virgin) to coincide with the posting of his articles (like I said, two articles per week), you will end up finishing The Return Of The King next year almost the exact week the final movie is released.
These running commentary threads could be great for discussions on the various chapters and could be a great place for people to ask questions about anything they are curious about that the articles might make them think about.
What days would you recommend for the "Tolkien Virgin" articles? I was thinking Mondays and Fridays. "Bookends" as it were. :-) Gives you the weekend to read the chapter or two being discussed on Monday, and the rest of the week for the chapter or two discussed on Friday. A leisurely yet structured pace that should be easy to work into schedules.
Your thoughts?
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
I wasn't going to go anywhere near that one. *hums the Lumberjack Song*
That's strange, I didn't have any problem at all. I even used 2 at the same time, both mine and my brother's.
The winds around here are supposed to pick up this afternoon.
Should I worry about weakened trees falling?
good thinkin'...
g'mornin' LF... how's life in the PRM this mornin'?...
It's also Dec. 16. Shouldn't we be getting Beethoven's Birthday off?
That doesn't count... everyone sings when they're drunk...;o)
I have only done karaoke once, but my rendition of Rocky Racoon was well received...
But the sun is shining (for a little while) and the air is crisp. Not bad for a Monday!
How are things in your neck of the woods? BTW, where are you stationed?
