Dec 12 02: throw up the sash
Well, its 5:11pm Eastern time, which I believe means that I have set a new record for Time Until Bathrobe is Exchanged for Clothing. Spent today putting the finishing touches on my swim team’s photo gallery—which means that tomorrow I think I will get my own up and running. I am so proud.
Those of you itching for Australia photos can start by looking there. Yes, there is a shot of Nikki.
stop typing and shave, already
The reason I have to get up and go is because I have rehearsal for tomorrow’s concert. The Juilliard Choral Union will be performing Vivaldi’s Gloria and Handel’s Coronation Anthems. I am making my debut as a countertenor in the Vivaldi—it’s a small group and the director wanted a ‘countertenor sound’ out of the altos. So I’m singing with them. Should be fun, althouh thinking like an alto as opposed to like a tenor is really tough. One’s place in the chord structure is different; alto lines zig where tenor lines would zag, so my singer’s autopilot is totally useless here. The Handel will be spectacular. I no longer hate Handel unconditionally, although I maintain that it’s unbelievably boring to learn his music. The same sentence over and over for five minutes, followed by the next sentence for five minutes, ad nauseum.Anyway, if anybody’s going to be in NYC tomorrow night, the concert is at Lincoln Center (Alice Tully Hall) and it’s free. Doors open at 7:30 for an 8:00 show.
