short takes

cellioIt looks like we're going to go see Harry Potter tonight. I'm not an adict or anything (haven't read the books), but I do want to see it and it's probably in my best interest to see it before Thanksgiving (fanatic family member on Thursday, then an SF convention for the weekend).
Last night was the D&D game. I thought my character might advance to 7th level last night, but we came up about 300 points short (target was 21,000). Oh well. Next time for sure. :-) (Well, nothing is ever sure; she could die or lose a level or something annoying like that. But I really hope not.)
Monday night the SCA choir started doing Christmas music, so I'll be taking a break until after the performance at 12th Night. I actually enjoy the little break each year; I think some people in the choir worry that it inconveniences me (and the two other people who are reluctant to do that kind of music), but sitting out one batch of music per year doesn't bother me at all. Monday we spent half the time on "regular" music and half on the seasonal stuff, and that might even continue for a little while (didn't ask), but it's more of a pain to attend half a practice, and it's not like I'm going to be behind, or behind for long, on any regular material they cover in the next month and a half. I'm pretty good at learning and/or sight-reading parts.
Speaking of music, On the Mark is getting ready for
our performances at the previously-mentioned SF
convention (Darkover, in Timonium MD). This will be
the 12th year for some instantiation of the group
(wow), though the first for our new members

Should be fun! Ray is also starting to write
songs for the group, which is very cool. Up
until now we've had a bunch of people who can
write music (to varying degrees), but we've been
weak on writing words. (We had a past
member who could write words, and we were able
to turn one of her poems into a song before
she ended up moving to a different city and thus
leaving the group. With luck, Ray and Jenn
aren't about to move to DC. :-) )
Sunday we got to see dr4b and eub
at Sunday lunch, which replaced Sunday dinner so they could
make their plane back to Seattle. Seeing them again was
nice!
The beta release did go out on Friday (after I left). My manager seems to be pleased with the results. I am spending this week doing damage control -- finding all the spots where we crammed in something quickly and inelegantly, and fixing them.
