- A week ago, my choir director asked me if I would mind singing the descant on one of our pieces. I sang it properly for the first time during rehearsal last night and was awesome at it, so that's cool.
- This weekend, on a whim, I decided to pick up my Dark Tower reread at the point I last left off three years ago and thus am now reading Wolves of the Calla*. This is very exciting because a) I love everything about these books to the point that I occasionally have to take a break from reading just to have emotions about, like, the existence (or lack thereof) of Gilead and also b) so, I've read the first 4 books in this series a bunch of times and the last three only once each, when they came out. Which means I have forgotten a hell of a lot of stuff that happens in Wolves and am constantly surprised by it. It's delightful. (Less delightful is the fact that Calla Bryn Sturgis has a very strong dialect that I can feel creeping into my thought patterns as I read and I'm trying really hard not to let it come out my mouth.)
- Tomorrow is May Day and I have taken the day off work because it is a holiday. I'm going to go for a hike on the beach in the morning and then come home and watch The Wicker Man, as is a right and proper celebration of the day.
*Okay, no, I broke off the reread in the middle of Wind Through the Keyhole because it wasn't grabbing me like the others - right after Wizard and Glass, another big flashback was too much - and so I still haven't actually ever finished that one. Maybe I'll read it after the end this time.
