The downside of that "French for reading class" in grad school is that later in life when you are faced professionally with an article in %&^$*ing French, you feel obligated to %&^$*ing read it.

@petrarchian @kate_mezzo So I didn't imagine the side plank! I was up in the Family Circle and wasn't sure I should trust my eyes.

You know how sometimes you do a piece of freelance work, and you send an invoice, and then *crickets* ?

@MichelleEdgerle @khj5c @ManyaZuba Damn! I was in San Diego like last week to see my parents. Should have timed that trip better....

Comment of the week from a German on my accent (in German) "You sound like a German who has been in the United States for twenty years"

There's nothing quite like "Or tutti sorgete" from Verdi's Macbeth to get a person going in the morning, work wise. (I'm not saying there's nothing better, just that there's nothing like it)

Survived the DMV yesterday. And they did not switch up the o and the i in my first name on the new license, which happens more often than you'd think.

@carnegiehall My mom's evening rehearsals with the community orchestra. She played the flute. Brother and I had to sit in the back of the room in our PJs and read/play quietly. I absorbed a lot of music and got to try out a cello!

Trying out the Idagio streaming service, and it spat out this Meyerbeer-based playlist that was actually pretty fun. I ended up listening to Anna Bonitatibus singing something from I think it was L'Africaine.

Yolanda is going to be my new alter-ego. Who drank all the Jägermeister? Yolanda. Who signed up for a free trial of a classical streaming service and forgot to cancel? Yolanda.

Got a query about whether I could translate something from English into Spanish for someone’s school assignment. 1. No, I can’t and 2. My favorite random query email is still the one where they thought I was a simultaneous interpreter and the email began “Dear Yolanda”

Just started playing JDD's new album with all the jazz arrangements. I think my dog has learned to recognize her voice.
