I was checking the website of the league I play in today, and noticed a link to some pictures a photographer had taken of some league games. Intrigued, I went and glanced through them, and sure enough, there are a couple of me. Check out these action shots, one of me having been beat on […]

Silent but still kicking
So I last posted a week ago Saturday. Sunday afternoon was another concert, Monday evening was ultimate, Tuesday was a much-needed night off, Wednesday through Saturday evenings were concerts. Through all of this, I was telling myself, “I just need to make it through Saturday and everything will be fine.” My body apparently took me […]
Beethoven’s Ninth
We’re in the middle of doing a seven performance run of Beethoven’s Ninth in the chorus. Reviews and stuff, if you’re interested.
Identification and context
I just had an amusing incident. I was on BART on my way to work, and was lounging in a seat reading my Economist with my music playing. Somebody taps my leg as they’re walking by. I look up, see a guy smiling at me, and I know I recognize him, but I have no […]
More car crap
In the continuing saga of my car, which began here and continued here, I picked up my car two weeks ago after they diagnosed the problems I’d been having as being due to a loose electrical connection. Last week, I was getting on to the highway, accelerating hard to catch up to traffic, when the […]
Social craziness
Wow. It’s been over a week since an update. Not for lack of things to write about, mind you – I’ve just been too busy to get an hour to spend writing. I started my new job last Monday, and it’s a little different than my last job. At my last job, since most of […]
Star Wars in Yerba Buena
I was hanging out at Yerba Buena Gardens this afternoon with a friend. Well, outside the Metreon actually. Yerba Buena itself was closed, apparently for a private party. We saw a couple guys in tuxes go by, and said “Huh, must be a nice party”. Then we saw a couple storm troopers walk by. And […]
What I’m doing with my week off
Before I spend more time interpreting an obscure French philosopher, I’m going to take a day off from serious posting, and do a general journal-type post. To wit, what I’m doing with my week off between jobs. I’d originally considered going and taking a trip or something like that, but decided I had too many […]
Haydn’s Harmoniemesse
I’ll get to the Latour tomorrow I think. But it was time to update the chorus page with the latest concert reviews, as well as funny stories from this week’s concert of Haydn’s Harmoniemesse.
Crime pays, or why people suck
Two days ago, a woman was mugged at 6pm about 50 yards from my front door. My friend and I were walking up the hill from dinner when we heard a commotion up ahead – about half a block up, two black men ran across the street and jumped in a car, chased by a […]
