-rehearsing student pieces, including one by the conductor's hyperactive and unnaturally talented 8-year old son. Who has perfect pitch, and stopped the run-through to announce loudly to the flute player that "it's an a-sharp".

-Tam Lin (Pamela Dean): I feel like I should have enjoyed it more than I did. Which I think was because I wasn't convinced by the elfland business. Probably I should reread Fire and Hemlock, and then appreciate how coherent Dean is.

-Kathryn Reiss's lastest YA novel. It creeped me out a lot, but all of the things that were bothering me in the beginning (some weirdly flat/stereotyped characters, mainly) were fixed by the end.

-weird dreams involving fleeing across the desert and hiding under carpets, being a slave in a villa urbana and N. from Latin being indicted for murder.

I had a dream last night about trying to sell CDs to Vespasian. This is what happens when you read silly historical-setting murder mysteries to try to distract yourself from agonizing over practicing. But it's still summer, so I can waste time this way a bit longer. At least my thirds and sixths don't suck as much as I feared they would after several months of 'forgetting' to practice them.

I think I finally have a pattern that will work for my doublet, although I haven't been working on it much because I have started another over-my-head project -- Ancient Greek! I am determined that I will keep this one up, unlike so many of the other things I have started, but now my head is a sea of aorist optatives and persistent accents and other horrible things that definitely prove Latin to be the superior dead language and I'm getting lazy again.
