@choster hello, yes, I am the Marxist horde, I'm on it right now. Thanks for asking.
@skillpatrol CaK is plain impossible. And I took my last chemistry exam 22 years ago.
Certainly we can find a valid molecule that adds up to 2019 somehow.
@Robusto back from the concert right now. Spectacular. I think I've tasted blood. I don't know how you could be doing anything else.
Obviously I was shaking and sweating for the first ten minutes like. Really horrifying. But there's no escape, so you just do your thing.
I do not remember a single note that I've sung. I do not believe for a second that I hit a single one on purpose. But I think I did hit quite a few through pure osmosis. That's what you do two months of rehearsals for. That's what you listen to the pieces for on your mobile phone on the bus for sixty days straight.
At any rate, we got 15 minutes of standing ovations from a sold-out hall. 1200 people.
And after the concert behind the stage the choirmaster shook everyone's hand and said thanks in person. And I've been told by people who've been in the choir for 20, 30, 40 years, that that's literally never happened before.
Meaning to say, even if I fucked up half my notes (which again might very well be the case, I have no idea, too much of an adrenaline rush, memory wiped clean), even if I totally fucked up half the notes, I didn't fuck them up totally enough.
Next up Durufle Requiem, another piece I've never heard of before, concert in summer.
And then Mass in H minor. January 21, 2021.
Here's to that. My third beer for tonight, then I'm off to bed.
