Vacation from Rain

Last night I did decide to stay in -- the snow and rain were just more than I wanted to deal with, in costume. In clear weather I could easily walk to either house, and I imagine I would have. Something inside just said "stay in." That's very unusual because I love parties ordinarily. But I decided to just go with my impulse. Many thanks to n0ire and miss_chance for the kind invitations, and I'm looking forward to reading your recaps of the festivities.

I stayed in and worked on my two cabaret songs, which I'd had little time for given the MWOW schedule and work. The online accompaniment that comes with the sheet music (for 30 days) is helpful, but it's not human, and doesn't have the timing and natural flow of a flesh-and-blood pianist. I do need to get with a live accompanist before the sing-thru. Must talk to bacall or mdm_sosostris about that. The cabaret is December 2 and 3, with a lovely dinner included. Hoping many will come out for that.

Today is gorgeous; the way fall ought to be -- I wish we'd had this weather last night. Much out-and-about-ing today, with the final workday for MWOW happening midday.

Oh, I finally saw The Corpse Bride on Friday with Chris. I honestly didn't expect to like it as well as Nightmare -- I didn't think the humor and cleverness of my favorite claymation creation of all times could be repeated. But it was. I can honestly say in certain ways it reached new levels. I'm so glad I made a point to see it on the big screen while I still had the chance -- those details that can be missed on a small screen really enriched the humor.

Mail Mix-up

At some point yesterday or this morning, I accidentally pasted pheromone's email address into the "from" field in my email, and my emailer used it as default on several more e-mails, until the mistake was discovered. Meanwhile, poor pheromone had to field a mysterious message from my landlord about an electrician coming over, and a conversation between me and someone I'd met at her party last week. She was as confused as I.

Anyway, if I sent you an e-mail in the last 24 hours, it probably has the wayward "from" address on it. Please adjust it if you reply! (those on my friendlist know my email addresses. :-)
