Compromises
A couple of weeks ago I complained off-handedly about the commute I’m having, and that made La Professeure sad because she said she loves her life right now, and wants me to love mine. I guess pi...
Emotional Masturbation
It’s been a month and a half since I last wrote; I feel like there should be stuff to write about, but can’t really recollect them all. Food, Friends, and Merriment There has been several non-o...
Carnegie Hall
So I played in yet another of the amateur group’s Carnegie Hall concert two weeks ago. By this time it was no longer a big deal - I was not nervous, I was not excited - it was more like a chore, ...
Just catching up
I feel, again, like I don’t write here any more, since it’s been a month since I last updated and that update was just a survey. In truth, there is not much to write about. Except perhaps the sn...
End-of-Year Survey, 2014
Happy New Year. I figure I’d do this first before posting an actual entry… What did you do in 2014 that you’d never done before? Go on a river cruise. Perform with one hand at Carnegie Hall. P...
Tis the Season
Doctor's visit I mentioned last entry that our rat Henrietta had a tumor and needed surgery. The surgery happend the first Tuesday of December, and went very smoothy - apparently tumor removal f...
Because I cannot sleep
The suburbs that never sleeps Lately I have been having more days when I just can’t sleep. Ever since I moved to the suburbs, I have to up at a normal hour, 7 or 8 in th morning, having had 5 or...
Management
I feel like I really have to force myself to write these days. I used to have a text file open somewhere where I would write down entry ideas… stuff I wanted to get off my chest. Now, nothing. T...
Catch up
Catching up We have been doing “stuff” in the past month and yet I feel that nothing is new. Let’s see… Last weekend the Ex-Chamber Music Group Organiser and the Violist invited us to a hike in...
Distributed Processing
Mindless code monkey I’ve been enjoying work since coming back from my honeymoon, since most of it involves mindless programming. It’s a nice break from the research and cross-team coordinating ...
Treadmill
Since coming back from our Honeymoon we have had a busy schedule. The in-laws visited for a week after we came back, but La Professeure took care of entertaining them (she's on summer break), but...
Multimedia Dump
We have been having a semi-busy time after coming back from the Honeymoon, with the in-law's visit and seeing friends and today being my birthda. But I am being lazy today, and will leave documen...
Recapping a Month
Making an impact Wow, it's been a month since I wrote here. It's not that there aren't stuff happening, it's just that I have gotten lazy about writing them. Four weeks ago we went out into th...
Performances
Star Trek and Butterfly The Star Trek performance two weeks ago, and it was fun. The pianist who was supposed to play the Skywalker theme and Darth Vader theme did not show up until the very las...
The Next Step
Upstaging myself I was hoping to take a breather with piano after the Carnegie Hall concert. So it was nice not to have any performances to worry about in the past 2 weeks. It is true I was as...
Performance Weekend
Carnegie Hall Concert, Take VI So I performed at Carnegie Hall again last Saturday. It was my second time playing solo, and first time playing with one hand... so does that count as a half-solo ...
To be Appreciated
Short note before I go on... So, my 6th Carnegie Hall concert is tomorrow. Strangely I don't feel as much of a panic as I did in previous years, even though I am arguably less well-prepared. I t...
Merrily We Slog Along
Astro- and Particle-physics Last weekend we spent a lot of time visiting La Professeure's friends in the city. On Saturday afternoon we went to the Theatre district to meet with her college room...
Been There, Done That
Company Man I have not written much because nothing much has happened. I think, after the wedding, there really isn't anything new to look forward to. My routine these days are pretty monotonous...
Songs, Snow, and Dark Matter
Songs and Merriment Last weekend was Take II of my sister-and-law and my house concert. Learning from the "mistakes" of Take I, we got much less food, and prepared more of them the night before,...
Hello Prosebox, Goodbye OpenDiary
I suppose all good things must end. 10+ years and 930 entries (8 of which were favourite-only) later, I must leave OpenDiary. I've been reading the 'last entries' of open diarists and realized ho...
