So we sing to say we want to make it right
Today was extremely tiring (although we got health insurance out of it!) but in the last half-hour I have heard two really excellent things:
TwoSet Violin, "Pachelbel's Chicken"
Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp, "So We All"
They are both very different applications of classical music and they both make me happy. Also Hestia made a literal pillow fort out of the couch:
Good cat.
P.S. And I just found out that Rich Horton's review of Forget the Sleepless Shores is now online at Locus. So it is really not as though I had a month of book and then it was over. That makes me happy, too.

Thank you on all fronts! (Except Hestia, who I can't take credit for, but still appreciate.)

Some moments later, her brother came up to investigate and she launched.

Wakanomori showed me Pachelbel's Chicken some time ago--it's excellent. BEAUTIFUL AND GOOD.

Thank you! I would like it to last.
And Hestia's all-pupil, pre-attack gaze is a thing of beauty to behold.
She is our household's mighty hunter. She was only a few months old when she brought down the roaring housefly.

It improved my mood at once.

I am doing something terrible. Also candying peel, so doing something terrible while sticky.

I almost certainly approve, even stickily.
(Peeling and chopping apples for a pair of pies, myself.)
Pachelbel's Chicken
Also, health insurance is boring to obtain and wonderful to have.
Re: Pachelbel's Chicken
I don't even dislike the original! I just agree that being played on a squeaky chicken improves almost anything.

I am looking forward to not owing my life savings for my body being the way it is.
Re: Pachelbel's Chicken
Like, it's hilarious for about the first minute, I'll agree because of the concept. But, no.
Re: Pachelbel's Chicken
For me it just got funnier as it went along: it commits so thoroughly and so seriously to its absurd concept, even to squeaking the fiddly little sixteenth-note descant out of a rubber chicken which we weren't sure it was going to be capable of playing notes that fast. It was like watching a high-wire act. An incredibly, sincerely stupid high-wire act.

I love that photo of Hestia.

Thank you!
I love that photo of Hestia.
She is often harder to photograph than Autolycus, but no less beautiful.

"And I began to wonder, why? Why would Pachelbel do that to us? Such a beautiful instrument. And my theory was, he once dated a cellist, and she dissed him really bad, and for the rest of his life he came up with the worst cello parts he could ever think of. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't hear him every day . . ."
That's magnificent.

A VERY APPROPRIATE RESPONSE.
