Mondayitis, Oil Wars, and Requiem...

Mondayitis

Monday, Bloody Monday. I am definitely, as usual, suffering from inflammation of the Monday. Mondays always take longer than every other day, and I get far less done. Blah. Especially after going out on Friday night, getting a few hours sleep then setting off for the belowmentioned rehearsal camp... I also have MIFF reviews to write, but I'm way too exanimate (hurray for archaic mood words) to do them justice. Later on.

Oil Wars

Been a while since I posted anything political... so here's a snippet. Not about the oil, huh. Right. Go read this: As ordered, it's about oil - San Francisco Chronicle - 8 August 2003.

Requiem

Specifically, Mozart's Requiem, as completed by Sussmayer. One of what I like to refer to as the Choral Big Three (the other two being Handel's Messiah and Orff's Carmina Burana). MUCS is performing this very shortly:

Melbourne University Choral Society Australian Classical Players conducted by Andrew Wailes in association with the Cancer Council of Victoria presents Daffodil Day Concert Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Clarinet Concerto (KV622), Regina Coeli (KV276) and Requiem Mass (KV626) at St Patrick's Cathedral Albert Street, East Melbourne Friday 29th August 2003, 8pm $5 from every ticket goes to the Cancer Council's Daffodil Day Appeal Presale Tickets: Adults $30, Concession $25

Get them from me or another chorister directly, and soon. They're a lot more expensive via Ticketmaster, and you're also not likely to get in on the door, as the concert is pretty guaranteed to sell out. Rehearsal camp was on the weekend just gone, and it's sounding pretty damn good, so come along.

Hope the concert goes well :)

Minestrone. Is easy, and v. tasty. Add some fried mushrooms instead of bacon, for vegetarian but still tasty goodness.
