kate--I have so many meta thoughts, but never the time to write them down. I'll try some later. So far I have thoughts about where I live (metaphorically), writing (big surprise), driving, 20th century music, and other things.
--I had a concert yesterday. It was fun! It was a clarinet piece for eleven clarinets titled, hilariously, Eleven (link leads to SF Conservatory performance on youtube). The composer came down from NY and conducted us! It was amazing. He's part of a bass clarinet duo that's just freaking ridiculous. Check this out: Sqwonk playing Bach's Toccata and Fugue.
--The concert yesterday included Copland's Appalachian Spring (Ballet for Martha) which is supposed to have the following instrumentation: 4 violins, 2 violas, 2 cellos, 1 double bass, 1 piano, 1 flute, 1 clarinet, 1 bassoon. I really, really, really wanted to play that clarinet part - it's one of my favorites. I did not get it. HOWEVER. When they performed, the instrumentation was: 18 violins, 6 violas, 5 cellos, 3 double basses, 1 piano, 1 flute, 1 clarinet, 1 bassoon. All I can say is, thank god I didn't play that. WTAF. Whose ridiculous idea was that instrumentation?

romcomorama is still taking signups! And people who have claimed a movie can claim another (I'm planning on taking Sky High for the Losers fandom). We have 49 signups and over 20 fandoms! We'd like more!
