Cats? Are not ergonomic. No matter how much they think they belong on one's lap. Instead of the keyboard that one is _trying_ do work on.
Ice-encased vehicles make getting places on time more complex. But heaters and defrosters are good. Ice-encased driveways are interesting to walk on and drive back up when one gets home again.
It's bloody grey out. Which spelling of gray is right, anyway? I'm just going to randomly change between the two. That works less well when one had a teacher with one of those two as his last name in high school.
I miss singing in Handel's Messiah when I was in high school. I think I was in the soprano section because when my voice was in shape, I was _almost_ a soprano. I need to track down a recording of that. And of the Carol of the Bells. Since those are the two xmas music bits of which I am very, very fond.
There is a small beany baby lizard on my monitor. This pleases me for inexplicable and yet pleasant reasons. LIZARD!
Winter says hi. Also, it says I need more uppers. Stupid winter.
I need more piano music. Makes my brain quieter.
Tired.

Also, I have piano music. And a piano, for that matter.
gray = American
grey = English / rest of world. I use grey for no good reason. Gray looks like it'd sound like donkey braying.
I could track down the Brandeis Messiah sing if you wanted to *go* to one. You're invited.
Messiah

Date: 2007-12-10 09:29 pm (UTC)True! I meant recordings, but you playing does also work well for brain quieting purposes.
I note that I am very likely to forget which is which (gr[ea]y) immediately, but noted for the moment. :)
