Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
My computer is broken. I am posting this from the craptastic computer downstairs.
I believe it's the power supply, because there was an outage last night, and I suspect the subsequent power surge fried it all to hell. Needless to say, I am rather annoyed.I used to do LP's. Currently archived here:

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
I miss here too, but Curly has been doing some discovering.
Eight week terms are really intense. Plus weekly essays.
Curly's schedule from last Saturday 'til this Saturday:
Sat morn and afternoon: Putting up posters and busking to raise publicity for The Mikado.
Sun: Finish reading primary and secondary reading for essay.
Mon: Two lectures, reading and more research. Eve: Choir rehearsal.
Tue: Lecture, more reading. Evening: Rehearsal for The Mikado. FINISH ESSAY
Wed: Tutorial, class, get next essay topic, do reading for it. Club debate in evening.
Thurs: G&S elections and unofficial rehearsal. Also, sectional rehearsal for choir.
Fri: Lecture, copy up notes, more reading; another club.
Sat: Full runthrough of Mikado.
And if you think that's crazy, next week's schedule is as follows (skipping out all mentioned above):
Sun: FINISH ESSAY. CHoir rehearsal with soloists.
Mon: Normal choir rehearsal, plus the usual.
Tues: Hand in essay, enjoy one day of nothing; excepting what's listed above. Oh, except the Mikado dress rehearsal.
Wed: First night of Mikado; plus everything lse listed for Wed above.
Thur: Second Mikado, plus everything else.
Fri: Third Mikado, plus everything else.
Sat: Afternoon: complete runthrough of Petite Messe. Evening:Last Mikado, plus everything else.
I still have an essay to do that week as well.
So pretty intense, but I still manage to lurk here, if not post.
Now for some reactions:
Wait, what. Charity's a teacher? A math teacher? Buh. Whu'?
Reina's back! *glomp hugs*
@Bath: You were missed dreadfully, and I'm glad you came back.
I miss Skippy. Does anyone else miss him?
Also; when did Fred leave?
@Jibbers: *hugs* Losing the internet can be really sucky.
Back to the essay. Wee. But it should be easy to do. And has to be done by seven so I can go to rehearsal.
. . .
Essay crisis! (I jest, I've had far worse problems than that. Such as a 2 500 - 3 500 word essay that was at 1 300 words at midnight when the essay was due in by half past eleven that morning.)
Nonetheless: Minor Essay Crisis! And they're fun too.
Bathatar!

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
While I start idly wondering if I could get myself down to Oxford next saturday. Probably not.
Man, your G&S society is one of these ones that's like vaguely professional and puts on more than one big show a year."'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
And yes, the opera The Mikado, I'm only in the seated chorus, but it's been great fun so far. Rumour is that if the Production Manager can get everyone memorising their blocking by Saturday she can get tapdancing gravediggers into the show.
We do one a term. Last summer they even performed at the international G&S festival. It was Utopia Ltd., we got shown the DVD and it was really good. The play was a wee bit sucky, but they were good. Especially as they were the youngest amateur group there.
It'd be nice if you could come along, you can order your tickets by email (PM if you want it?), but if you can't, there's always Ruddigore next term, or any term after that.
You should. It seems like a lot, and it is, but we (at least, most Arts students (I pity the Mathematicians and Scientists with their crazy schedule of multiple lectures a day, labs and stupidly large amounts of problem sheets)) still have enough time for fun and parties and clubs and stuff.
EDIT:
And while this is going to be a crazy two weeks, it's only because both my shows (choir and G&S) are coming close to doing their productions, some weeks are downright lazy.Last edited by CurlyKitGirl; 2009-11-17 at 11:39 AM.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
I was actually coaxed out to a club last week. My first time at a club, I was quite excited as I was with friends and it was a cheap entry night.
When we got there it would have taken three-quarters of an hour to get to the front of the queue. And it was raining on and off rather heavily.
I went home. As did most of my friends actually, but they had a major panic when they realised I wasn't with them (I'd stayed back to talk to a friend willing to wait) even though I'd told Waiting Friend what I was doing and asked her to tell the others what I was doing.
Waiting Friend got in a lot of trouble for making them worry.
So ends my abortive Attempt At Being An 'Ordinary University Student'.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
We only do one actual G&S show a year, in late february, and then something smaller for a summer show (Last few years they've been things our director wrote, using songs from G&S and similar shows, but changing the words).
It would be nice, but I remembered what I'm doing that night - going to see the Gosforth G&S society here. I could go a different night, but
also train tickets to Oxford look kinda expensive
so I...
...
I'll have to think about it..."'But there's still such a lot to be done...'

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
Yeah, her reasoning behind wanting them (besides being pretty awesome) is that there was a production (or film?) in c. 1992 that had them and she loved it.
I don't know for certain if they'll have them just yet, but we should find out on Saturday.
Hope you do come, but like I said, there's always another production next term.
I might come up and see your Pinafore then, late February should be easy to manage, middle of term, just a day or so. I'll definitely think about it.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
Yay! My oral presentation went great.
For those interested, it was a presentation of observations at the Pierre Auger Observatory: Explaining an extra drop in the flux for high energy cosmic rays and the anisotropy in the origin of high energy cosmic rays.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
Big issue is how much I'm willing to pay to get there. Suddenly I see why learning to drive might have been useful...
And yay! As I'm playing Ralph I think everyone should come see my fabulous performance. And as I'm the society treasurer I think everyone should come give us their money.
@^: I don't know exactly what that means but it sounds awesome.
ION: Next wednesday I'm singing in this. Just got the email with the music. Not much for the choir to do, but should be fun, and since before I got asked to be in it I was planning to go see it...Last edited by Thufir; 2009-11-17 at 12:27 PM.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
Excellent! I don't know if your got your mark back yet, but I hope it's a very high one.
EDIT:
@^: Okay, you officially rock my socks off. That's amazing!
That's why I definitely entertaining thoughts about coming up to Newcastle; plus train fare'll be cheaper as I'm closer to it than I would be at home.
And yes, learning to drive may be useful.Last edited by CurlyKitGirl; 2009-11-17 at 12:32 PM.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
Lego is always good. We only have giant Jenga blocks (as in one foot long, four inches wide, and an inch or two thick). Makes for a great noise after the inevitable collapse though.
ION:
I ran out of bread today. And biscuits. Yet I have sandwich meat, butter and jam. This upsets me as it means do sweet course.
So for dinner I made do with one of those packets of instant noodles, you know the kind where just put them in a saucepan and heat up the water 'til done, but in my room.
Armed with a kettle, a bowl and a fork. It works really well, sure the noodle don't take on as much flavour, but there's still the water and treating it as soup made for an excellent dinner.
IOON: (IN Other Other News)
JSTOR is acting all screwy on me and is taking ages to load the next page of the article. Oddly, even though it's for an essay on transience and immortality in Tennyson's The Princess I'm using an essay on The Princess and the influence of mid-Victorian achitecture. It's a really good essay too.
EDIT:
PHOE! *glomp hugs* I've missed you! How've you been? Today is a good day for the Curly one.Last edited by CurlyKitGirl; 2009-11-17 at 12:47 PM.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
Oh, JSTOR. That thing never worked the way it was supposed to for me. It just kept dying instead of loading anything. *fond memories of academic life*
*hugs for Curly* Myself? I'm doing decently well. I've mostly been drifting across the country looking for a place to live. Not by choice; this is where the whole "cars saved my life" thing came into play. But I'm somewhere, I'm settled, and I'm doing technical writing, so I can't complain.
...Ok, so I can. I need to start doing more creative writing again. I haven't in so long, I think my writing muscles have atrophied.
