Temp. will not go below 40! YAY
These came out last weekend (yours truly is featured in both):
This second one is in Chinese. I have no idea what they’re saying, so if any of you can help with that, it would be greatly appreciated. 
I had my eyebrows stringed today, basically where the saw them out of your face with some string, it hurts.
A lot.
When I met Fiance Yey for lunch, I asked him if he liked what I had done, he said he didn’t notice, and when I got huffy, that I do all these things to look nice for him (sort of true, Like to nice for me) he told me he was only marrying me because I’ve got a “Lovely bottom”
I laught so much my smoothie came out my nose.
It was good 
For the love of all that is good, do not ask him if pieces of clothing makes you look fat! I do not know why women continue to torture us so. d:
It’s because you’re looking at us from the outside, and we can’t do that.
Tcht!
For all our younger readers, the answer is always, “No.” Practice this, because any hesitation is fatal.
Aren’t there some women (5%?) who’d prefer to hear, “I think you should try something else…”?
Granted, finding that 5% is hard… d:
No. This is a dangerous myth.
Understood.
As long as you avoid “No, the dress is fine, it’s the dozen pies you ate at lunch that make you look fat” you’ll be fine.
I always found that odd. I’m always honest with my wife because I want her to feel comfortable in what she’s wearing, and she really does appreciate that honesty. I’m not there to lie to her; I’m there to be supportive and honest.
I had to stop after seeing the first one to say, HOLY CRAP! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!
Seriously, that’s crazy good shit. (Who did the vid? I hate them. (Also, I’m in lust with your pianist (Don’t tell The GF (She’d probably get her in the end anyway.)))
Don’t you have a show soon? (Hoping I didn’t didn’t miss it.)
Hey! Baltimore! (and they managed to work around that awful sculpture at the train station.)
Weird to hear the whole “foreign person talks for a few seconds before the translator clues you in” from the other side.
Anyhoo, yay Armando!
I’m socially awkward, not insane.
blinks
How’d I miss these? I must have been maximizing/restoring the window size.
Grats Armando! Kinda reminds me of the 16 string Symphony Orchestra playing the EVE Online soundtrack. I really like the last two songs. Linked because it’s an hour long.

I also like artists who do Unplugged acoustical renditions of their songs.
BTW, Mobtown Modern, as mentioned in Armando’s Chinese vid. (Never heard of them, but I’ll be checking them out.)
Ahhh, I never quite got that part worked out
Yey! bought me the 5 Specials Dr Who Box Set! YEY!
Enjoy them.
I’m watching the 1953 George Pal War of the Worlds (the Podcast inspired this) with my boys, age 5 & 7. They’re loving it so far!
Seven year old’s idea: “Fly a plane over the aliens when Mars is in the sky so that when they shoot at the plane, they hit Mars!”
I like it.
I’m a bit late in posting this, but for Xmas my roommate got me the 25th Anniversary Transformers box set, with EVERY episode of the G1 series. I haven’t posted sooner because, well, I’ve been hiding in my room watching Transformers. I’m sure you can all appreciate that.
Thanks for the kind words, Pike.
The guy who did the video is called Mike Krazinsky. He’s an editor with ABC News and has his own little production company called NetNix. The video should link to his YouTube page which has a bunch of other pieces by him.
I do have a show soon. Actually, several. I have one tomorrow afternoon (just a little piece of mine being done at a saxophone symposium at George Mason University, no biggie, but it’s still nice). The big one coming up is my Birthday Cantata for Audra…wait, not quite. That piece is a long time coming (100 day long pieces don’t write themselves that quickly, you know). Seriously, it’s a piece based on the work and last days of Mark Rothko which is being done at the National Gallery of Art by my ensemble with the National Gallery orchestra and chorus, along with a smaller piece by a friend of mine.
THEN, on February 3 I have a piece being done in Baltimore by the double bass professor at the Peabody. It’s a suite for solo bass based (see what I did there?) on a bunch of rock and pop tunes from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. It should be fun and he plays the hell out of them (and I’ve only heard an early run through and it already sounded pretty bad ass).
After that, all of my gigs are out of town (though they’re mostly job interviews till March. Shhh…I don’t wanna jinx them). Right before the international meet up (which is the main reason I can’t make it this year. Next year I’m going to try, though I’d hoped that we could do it in D.C., but it doesn’t look like my super cool concert idea is going to pan out that soon, so…) I have a gig in Syracuse that’s going to keep me away for a week or so, premiering a cello concerto which I finished last year.
Man, you should know better than to get a musician talking about his work. You got me monologuing! :eek:
