...my second-to-last order of the month was from Virginia. Which means that rather than being able to put it off for a month or two, I now have to figure out how to pay my sales tax to the state. Stupid order.

I have this mostly done arrangement of "Where You There?" that is for Soprano/Tenor soloist and handbell/handchime quartet. It is slightly different than one might expect, as all six verses (each with a different musical texture) can be done together as a singular piece or the six verses can each be done independently. (Specifically, I was thinking of certain Ash Wednesday/Maundy Thursday services where, during the reading of the Gospel, a verse of "Where You There?" is sung at appropriate moments -- "...sealed it with a kiss" after Judas seals it with a kiss, etc.) Anyway. I need a name for this, and the best I have is "Six Meditations on 'Where You There?'", which is okay, but I'm sure someone here can do better.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
