Well… Choral Evensong is over now. I would have stayed at the after-party longer but Debi and Marrianne were headed home and I wasn’t interested in walking home alone.<\/p>\n
The service (which was more of a concert) went well other than our Dean of the Chapel basically refusing to cantor part of it (or at least lead a section) so Debi had to take over for him. (I have issues with him but that will be in another entry.) It was Holden Evening Prayer and since I cantor that every week with Debi (who is ten times better than I will ever be), it was easy music. The rest was all anthems and fun stuff. We did Rutter’s “Te Deum” which was great and we had full brass percussion and organ for that. It was a worshipful experience since I really wasn’t thinking about notes or dynamics too frequently tonight. Singing Holden with 200 people does that to you.|*||*|The after-party at Nancy’s house was really fun. She has 5 kitties and this was a Very Good Thing. (I have cat karma and some of my college friends would argue that I am a cat. \ud83d\ude42 I was a happy Jen.) The food was basically hors d’oeuvres but it was fun conversation. =^..^= I ate with Carla and her husband and we talked about earthquakes and rattlesnakes and my addiction to JigZone.Com<\/a>. (I am *NOT* addicted. I play it when I’m bored at work which happens frequently because my shift is usually after my Worship class and I’m usually too burned out to think about anything else.)<\/p>\n I know there are some problems with my layout but those aren’t getting fixed until tomorrow (well…since it’s after midnight, later today), so please be patient. If you can point out what is messing up in my code, I will be eternally grateful to you.<\/p>\n C\/S<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well… Choral Evensong is over now.
