Singing, Gaming, and Crafting
12 years ago
It's been a while since I've told you fine folks what I've been up to in my life, so I thought now that the worst of the week is over, I'd let you know!
I just got out of singing the second half of the Medieval play Slaughter of the Innocents, in which I had been Herod before they cut the part of the play in which plot develops. Also the acting. And added more people at the last moment who didn't know the music. At least the rest of the concert was okay other than the play?
There will be another, staged play (like we had done this one before the music department got its hands on it) in April. For the Easter season, we'll be putting on the Visitatio Sepulchri (visit to the tomb), in which I'll have the role of John the Apostle. Haven't seen the music yet, but I'm hoping it will be good!
This Sunday I'm helping out at the Trinity Pops Concert, bringing a ton of Jambalaya that I still need to pick up ingredients for as well as fresh veggies and fruit salad. Because of course they assign those tasks to the one allergic to celery and fruits with edible skins. There will be no leftovers of that anywhere near my kitchen after I clean up. I'll also be accompanying one of the singers for my first time back at the piano since the wedding I played for this October.
If you're interested in hearing me sing some time, come to the Unitarian Universalist church at Fee and the Bypass on March 3rd at 8:00 PM for the Voces Novae concert! The central feature is a 20th century Jazz-influenced concerto for cello and choir. I've got one of the solos in the middle, so there's that!
BLOOMINGTON GAMING AT RACHAEL'S (in caps for those scanning) will be on Feb 17th at 2:00 PM. This was pushed back a week from the original announcement for reasons that the space wasn't as free as the schedule had said at first. Also jambalaya (see above). ARKHAM HORROR will be brought with multiple expansions. Please let me know if you want to play, as we can manage at most 9 people for that (10 if I only GM and don't play a character). CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY as well, for those less inclined for long, cooperative games with rulebooks the size of a tax document.
Finally, I'm pulling materials together to think about working on crafts on a larger scale than Christmas presents. I'm hoping to put some samples up soon so people can see if they'd be interested in me making more!

Not sure why the church specifically asked me to make Jambalaya, but there you have it. I'm in Indiana.
