Go away. I hate you. I am boycotting you for the rest of the season and maybe for the rest of my life. Go to Toronto. Good riddance.

Happy Veterans Day. I'm proud to be the granddaughter of two great men who served our country.

I don't like having to travel on a highway to get to parties at 24 Linwood. It makes me feel so far away from everything I used to be close to. (Granted, I could take Main Street the whole way, too...but the construction and lights drive me crazy). Oh well, it was still fun to stop by. I need to show my face more often, probably without my fuzzy companion who is not the most social person in the whole world...but I love him anyways.

If you missed out on Harmonia last night, you can still come see us sing on November 7th out in Orchard Park. I'm just putting this out there now to give plenty of notice :) I know it's a long drive, sooooo, I don't really expect anyone to come. If you did, however, I know you wouldn't be disappointed. You may even thank me. Hmm, probably not.

P.S. For every concert, I either email the faculty or I print out the fliers and put them in mailboxes. Last time, I only contacted the teachers who expressed interest. Still, in the two years I've been in the group, no one from my work has ever come...at all! Should I just give up or keep bugging people?

The Harmonia Chamber Singers will be singing tonight at Blessed Sacrament Church at 7 pm. It's on Delaware and West Utica. This concert is free (donations accepted). Check out our website: . :)

I have the flu.

It sucks.

Not that I mind staying home from school...but it's much more fun when you're actually healthy.

So today @anne came over and we made dinner and then watched TV, something I don't do often at all. The TV part, that is. @anne doesn't have cable, so she enjoys coming over to watch all of our channels. Anyway, we spent most of the evening watching TLC, and 2 of the 3 shows we watched revolved around morbidly obese people trying to improve themselves. I mean I know they're supposed to be inspirational but what is wrong with these people? I just don't get it! Once you hit like, 300, isn't that time to quit? I mean I know these people generally have severe psychological issues. But how sad!!!!! And all the time and money that is spent helping people who just need to eat less and move more...ugh. Ridiculous!!!!!

So I wanted to put up some pictures but I think they're too big or something. Maybe I'll put some up later when it's not 11:30. Anyway, here I am in Chicago!!!! I only have two more days of classes, then singing at graduation on Saturday and hitting the road! I actually won't be home until Sunday, but that's okay. I miss home so much. I miss my cat and my family and doing Buffalo-like things. It sounds like the weather has been craptastic though, so that's not something I'm missing. Chicago has been fun again this year, although not quite as exciting as last year - probably because I've been here before. Highlights of this summer included a great deal of yummy food, learning how to conduct fairly well, writing some nice choral arrangements, eating tasty food, going for lots of long walks, and did I mention food? One not so nice part of being here was stress. I was having a lot of trouble with stress last week. Just feeling very anxious and panicky all the time. It's been waaaay better this week since all my work is finished and I only have one more exam. I haven't felt panicked at all. But there were definitely some scary moments last week. Panic attacks are not fun. My poor body can't handle them!!!!!

Ok well maybe I should study for music history...or maybe not because music history ROCKS and I rock AT it. Especially Modern Music History. Boom. I rock.

So even though I don't feel like putting up Chicago pics, I will put up a couple hot, sexy webcam pics :)

This weekend, the Harmonia Chamber Singers will be giving its fourth and final concert of the year, titled "A Cappella Infusion". It is a concert featuring a variety of styles, all on the "lighter" side, including "Blackbird" by the Beatles and "Africa" by Toto (yes, the 80's song). We were a finalist in the Artvoice "Best of Buffalo" contest!

Saturday, March 30, 8:00 at St. Gregory the Great (off Maple, next to Millard Filmore Suburban) in Williamsville

Sunday, May 31, 3:00 at Holy Trinity (across from Anchor Bar) in downtown Buffalo.

There is no set admission and a free-will offering is collected at the concert.


COME!!!!!
