A friend subscribes to a daily Thoughts From the Whiteboard and shares the occasional goodie. I really identify with today's item: What I really need are minions! If someone else could fix dinner, clean the house and pay the bills so I could work on costumes and do vocalises, the world, or at least my world, would be a better place.
TW does do stuff around the house; he's been going thru seemingly every scrap of paper in the house, weeding out the stuff we no longer need, organizing the things we do, starting on the taxes... I bet he'd love a minion or two himself.

"Readability"
Found a link by surfing from a friend's blog, in which she posted the results of a "readability" test. I didn't like the starkness of that version, which gave no explanations of the results or the criteria used to derive them, so I went to another site and got these results:
http://juicystudio.com/services/readability.php#readingresults
It helpfully explains different systems for measuring ease of reading. What's interesting is their phrasing; they talk about how easy it is to understand what you write. It says nothing about your level of intelligence, unless you consider your ability to communicate ideas clearly to be an intelligence quotient.I thought it odd that 2 of the indices purport to estimate how much schooling would be needed to read my blog, but those numbers came in with pretty different results - Gunning Fog says you'd need an 8th-grade education, while the Flesch-Kinkaid index says you'd only need a 5th-grade education. Maybe it depends on the quality of the school system. ;-)
The biggest flaw I see in these "tests" is that the key, or perhaps the only, criterion seems to be number of syllables in words, assuming a direct correlation between "difficulty" and number of syllables. These assessments don't address grammar (or lack thereof) or punctuation (yes, punctuation can affect meaning!). It's completely possible to obfuscate or be unintelligible using words of 3 syllables or less; you don't have to bring out the $10 words to produce confusing prose, though of course it helps. Conversely, it's also possible to communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely without requiring one's audience to know every word in the unabridged Oxford English Dictionary and without "dumbing down" your text.
One more example of why one should take these Internet "tests" with a generous sprinkling of salt.

Maintaining momentum
Back to the gym today for more time on the treadmill. I tried one of the pre-programmed routines this time; a little less boring. One of my gym buddies promised to show me how to use the elliptical machines on Friday, so I'll give that a try then.
As we were getting started, someone else arrived who popped Night at the Opera into the DVD player. Much more entertaining than CNN or some other cable channel.
And tomorrow TW starts a cardio class on base. He sounds like he's looking forward to it.

Another reason to call it Hell Week?
A friend sent me a link to this href="http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/living/2009/01/21/germaise.actor.shot.in.head.wfts">video. The subject line of his e-mail was "the dangers of community theater"; not hard to see why!

Busy weekend
I couldn't accompany TW to the cabin this weekend because I have rehearsals both today & tomorrow. Instead, I'm seeing a couple of shows he wasn't interested in.
Musical of Musicals: The Musical was a lot of fun, even funnier than I'd anticipated, and well done. It's funny how doing theater has skewed my perspective, though - I found myself considering the various numbers' potential as audition pieces, then dismissing them because almost all the women's stuff seemed to be written for soprano, which I'm not, except for the couple of "belt" numbers, and I can't belt. It's all about me, after all! :D
Tonight, friends and I are seeing Orpheus in the Underworld, in English. We've been invited backstage afterwards by the lead tenor. That's pretty unusual - audience members are not supposed to go backstage! - so I hope no one sics Security on us. However, having teched in that theater, I know exactly how to get to the dressing rooms. If we look like we know where we're going, maybe they'll just point us toward our friend and leave us alone.

That's twice...
Monday was treadmills, so Wednesday was weight machines. First time I've done those in (too many!) years, so I was surprised to find I actually remembered some of the basic principles. Better, I took the lowest weight on most, not all of them. I did almost no arm work because my one shoulder was still bothering me from some unknown injury, but the leg work went OK and I even did both regular and cross crunches. Almost nothing hurt afterwards, though, which tells me that I need to up weight, reps or both the next time.
The Chief was talking about hitting the gym on base Monday or Tuesday (since my lesson is on Thursday this coming week). I'm surprised to find I'm actually hoping that happens!

It's a start...
A colleague & I actually made it to the gym yesterday. We each grabbed a treadmill and he ran, while I walked. My asthma kept my speed to 3 mph, but I did put in 1.5 miles. It's back to the gym tomorrow, but Friday I've got meetings at another building and Monday we're off for the MLK holiday. Here's hoping that doesn't kill my momentum before I've got any...

More sleepwear to sew!
TW's flannel pj's are starting to show their age and he hasn't been crazy about what he found in the stores, so he took me up on my offer to make him a pair. The one catch was that he'd have to accompany me to a fabric store! horrors! to pick out a flannel print. I eased him into fabric shopping: first we looked through Wal-Mart's limited selection (though I did get the pattern there). Then we visited a craft store with huge selections of fleece and flannel, where he settled on a print of duckies on a blue background. I guess he really likes the print - he keeps saying we need to go back and get more for a nightshirt for me.
Costume/sewing geeks having fun
Went to a friend's house a few nights ago to help her with a project. She's been working on a reproduction of a Tudor-era "french gown", accurate down to the underpinnings. This girl's so committed to accuracy, she sewed the stays herself from the general directions in The Tudor Tailor. She's already finished the chemise and kirtle (like a sleeveless underdress; this is the piece that has the stays in it) and I was helping her fit the torso mock-up for the gown. She showed me the gorgeous brocade she ordered on line for the gown; I can't wait to see the finished product, especially how all that fabric moves!
Naturally, we also spent a good bit of time catching up (we hadn't seen each other since Pirates) and talking costuming in general. I got to meet her cat (who didn't like it when the project got more of our attention than he did) & snake, see her brother again (another Pirates alum), and generally had a lovely evening. It's just a shame that I had to leave earlier than I would have liked so I'd get at least some sleep before work the next morning.

Another sign of colds in the household
In pulling a load of laundry out of the dryer tonight, I found the shredded remains of 2 or maybe even 3 tissues. Wonder which of us was guilty of leaving 'em in our pockets? (I blame TW; he's gotten so good about emptying his pockets that I've largely quit checking pockets before throwing things in the wash.)

Resolutions?
I've generally been opposed on principle to New Year's resolutions (it's just an "odometer phenomenon" - nothing special to get worked up about), but I'm toying in a very general, very UNcommitted way to maybe possibly thinking about trying this. More a "N things I'd like to accomplish this year" than "N things I MUST accomplish this year".
So, now that I've caveated this 20 ways to Sunday, here's a preliminary list of things I think I'd like to have done by, say, Christmas 2009:
So, now that I've caveated this 20 ways to Sunday, here's a preliminary list of things I think I'd like to have done by, say, Christmas 2009:
- hang some pictures at the cabin;
- hang some pictures in the living room at the house;
- expand my crockpot repertoire (this one won't be tough - I have exactly one recipe in that repertory at the moment);
- start dancing again, at least a little bit;
- maybe start using the gym at my new building (this one's heavily dependent on finding someone who can show me how to use the equipment without doing myself an injury)
- expand my musical/theatrical horizons, perhaps by attending something new, auditioning for something I think I might not like, or learning a new tech skill.
Now to see whether I remember to check back on this during the year, especially come December.
New phase of life for a new year
The Chief retired (again - this time as a civilian) as of 31 December. He spent a fair amount of time this weekend doing his "I'm retired!!!" dance and gloating in song about no longer needing to iron shirts, lay out his things the night before, or get up by 5 a.m. to go to work. I'm sympathetic - I may well have my own happy dance when I can retire - but given that I do have to lay out my things tonight and set my alarm for 0530 and go back to racing rats tomorrow, I'm finding that ongoing celebration is starting to wear just a teensy bit thin... ;-)
Another believer
The Chief had his first massage over the weekend (he'd been complaining of neck problems so long that he actually acquiesced when I urged him to try a massage). The therapist I recommended has worked with an orthopedist for years, which I think reassured him that this wasn't some New Age, hippie-dippie pseudo-therapy. He now understands why I try to get a massage whenever I can (which unfortunately is rarely more than a few times a year) - he's still marveling at how much looser his neck feels, and has already booked his next massage. Yes, I'd say he's been convinced.

Happy New Year!
Don't worry - I'm not one to wax philosophical, or at least not at length. I just hope that all 2 or 3 of my loyal readers have a good new year. May you weather life's trials, may at least one dream come to fruition, and let us know when you can join us at the cabin! :D
We wish you a Merry Christmas...
Spent Christmas w/ the family and it was good. We got in late Christmas Eve, so getting up for 7:30 mass the next morning was tough, but it was worth it. I joined Mom (organist), K and her family (3 of them playing brass for prelude carols, one son singing bass) to provide the music and it was great. Best of all was closing with Joy to the World. Mom always - always - modulates to a higher key for the last verse, which I absolutely love because it adds to the joyfulness of the music. I'd been looking forward to it, and was already happy to be singing with family. K's voice & mine blend well together anyway ("that genetic thing", as another sister quipped), and her son, well, same genetic compatibility, which added to it. By the time we got to Joy to the World and that long-awaited final verse, I was singing away with tears running down my face - glorious!
The rest of Christmas Day was a bit crazed, partly because I still had to wrap all the presents we'd mailed ahead to avoid the baggage fee for the extra suitcase they'd've needed. H and her family arrived for the weekend that day, and the boys were SO full of energy after being cooped up in the car. And of course there was all the cooking and last-minute prep that needed doing for dinner for 26, since there's only so much you can do ahead. But it was fun, everyone was healthy, my nieces' nightgowns were big hits (though the younger one's was so big it dragged on the floor), and everyone seemed to have a good time.
Friday was only slightly less quiet, partly because we were having dinner at Mom & Dad's again, this time including J's in-laws, who got into town that day. Dinner was mostly leftovers, which was just fine - I happen to love left-over turkey and the carbs that usually accompany it.
I also managed to squeeze in a visit with a friend I've known since grade school, the Chief & I treated ourselves to a coupla goodies at Williams-Sonoma, and we even got a little quiet time with my aunt & uncle (who were putting us up in their guest room) despite spending a LOT of time at Mom & Dad's cooking & cleaning up afterwards. Our last day, though, as I was helping Mom assemble dinner, she commented that she'd miss her "kitchen buddy" when we left. I gotta admit, it was fun sharing a kitchen with her.
The only down side was the "plague" - my oldest niece was the first one to come down with a virulent stomach virus that also attacked both her brothers and one of my brothers-in-law, and which hit the Chief the night before we were supposed to come home. Fortunately, it didn't hit him very hard - he was able to get a halfway decent night's sleep, and it abated enough that he was able to get through the flight home without incident. (Thank God it was a non-stop!) He then went to bed almost as soon as we got home - slept nearly 6 hours over the course of the afternoon and evening.
He also came home with a cold, which I'm now getting. Bleah! I've already sent our regrets to the hosts of the New Year's Eve parties we had planned to attend, and it looks like our weekend at the cabin will be spent blowing noses, coughing, and dining on chicken soup. Good thing we have plenty of nice, cozy throws out there, as well as a decent stash of firewood

"Then shall the lame man leap as an hart..." *
Mom was telling me about a Christmas party they went to last week, which boasted a small combo playing music for dancing. My father, who has been so crippled up by repeated major back surgeries and several joint replacements over the past several years that he still uses a cane most of the time, actually managed to DANCE a little!!! Mom admitted he was a bit wobbly, but given that at one point the doctors weren't entirely sure he'd be able to walk again, this is wonderful news!
* Recitative #19, Handel's The Messiah, quoting Isaiah, IIRC (I don't have my score handy).

Singing Messiah and getting paid for the privilege!
When my voice teacher asked if I'd be interested in helping swell the numbers of her church choir when they sang pt. 1 of "The Messiah" for the 4th Sunday in Advent, I agreed almost before she'd finished telling me any details. I haven't sung any Messiah in years and jumped at the chance; and she was going to let me sing a solo too? Where do I sign! Then came the kicker - she planned to pay me for something I'd happily do for free. After all, while I know plenty of people with paying church jobs, I'm not one of them. In fact, the running joke in my church choir when someone is late to practice or makes a mistake is to threaten to dock their salary (of $0).
Yesterday was our Sitzprobe, if you will - our sole rehearsal with the full complement of instrumentalists (violins 1&2, a viola, and a cello in addition to the organ). We'd been rehearsing with the organ all along, and the 1st violin (the organist's husband) had joined us Thursday, but having all 4 strings really made a difference! And it was SO cool to stand up there and sing "He shall feed His flock" with them right off my left hip (it's a very small chancel)!
I found the service a little disorienting. It's a Methodist church (I'm Catholic), and this was a special service, I was sightreading 2 of the 3 non-Messiah hymns, and I was relieved when they put me at the end of the processional line. Not a problem - I knew it would be unfamiliar, so I just watched everyone else - but as I joked with Mom later on the phone, it can't have been hard for the congregation to figure out that I was a visitor. The Messiah, however, generally went quite well. The first soloist had to clear his throat a few bars into his first solo but recovered nicely and sounded quite good thereafter. The first chorus got a little off track when one section made an entrance in the wrong place, but we recovered within a few bars and after that, the choruses were probably the best I'd heard us do. I felt good about how my solo went, got some nice compliments on it, and was able to sincerely compliment the others. It felt a little weird to go to someone else's denomination of a Sunday morning, but somehow I don't think God will mind overmuch if my prayers occasionally emanate from a church with a different "brand" out front. ;-)

Party, party, party!
You can tell it's December - I attended 3 parties in as many days!
Thursday was the big day at my new office, and what a partying bunch! Secret Santa drawing, and the white elephant ("Yankee swap", present-stealing) game, a door-decorating contest, a most-festive-attire contest, and a vast potluck spread with beer & wine among the beverages.
Friday was the Chief's office party which they also made his retirement party. There were the usual serious presentations (including a certificate and poinsettia for me), as well as some pretty good friendly ("beers of the world") and gag gifts. They obviously have some bakers in the group, as the potluck included homemade fudge and Christmas cookies. They also played the gift-stealing game; I suspect my husband didn't know he had been included, judging from the look on his face when they called his name as the next to open or steal a gift. After the party, we then proceeded to prep for the next one, going out to pick up the ducks we'd ordered, then going home to continue cleaning, polish silver, start getting the table ready, etc.
And Saturday was our dinner party. The table looked lovely, the food was OK (how do I keep it from getting cold so fast even when I warm the serving dishes?!?), and the company was great. We had rather more glitches than usual (e.g., put the jellied cranberry and the Chief's homemade cranberry sauces in their dish, which we left in the fridge; loaded up the CD player then forgot to turn it on), but nothing major. It was lovely to be able to sit and talk uninterrupted for hours; if we succeed in getting them out to the cabin, we'll be able to look forward to more of the same.

Whew; chance to catch my breath.
My, but we've been busy the past week or two! I got my nieces' nightgowns finished Tuesday and all but a few presents boxed up & mailed by Wednesday. We've been cleaning and decluttering and even decorating a little for a small dinner party last night, I've had rehearsals for my voice teacher's Messiah this morning, a Merry Widow rehearsal or two, an audition (not cast but I may well tech), saw a friend's show last weekend, made a dent in our Christmas shopping, and the usual grocery shopping, cooking, laundry, etc.
Friday & yesterday were particularly busy, with all the last-minute prep for the party, complicated by a migraine-inducing front that chose this weekend to visit. (Not that there's ever a good time to get a migraine, but still...) But we still managed to clear the worst of the clutter, shoo away the dust zoo (forget dust bunnies; we were finding rhinos, hippos, giraffes and I forget what-all else!), polish silver and get the food cooked. Today we were too tired to do much more than finish the dishes and read the paper.
The party went well, for all that it was much more intimate than originally planned. Between scheduling and family emergencies, we ended up with only 2 guests. However, as we hadn't seen them in months and months, it was nice to have them all to ourselves.

Already checked out on Snopes.com.....it's for REAL! Doesn't take but a couple minutes, please send one! This is a wonderful site. Just takes a minute and well worth it!! XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL
If you go here, you can pick out a thank-you card, Xerox will print it, and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them. This takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you. Please take the time and please take the time to pass it on for others to do. We can never say enough thank you's. Thanks for taking to time to support our military!
