Congrats cas!
Whenever I have something major like that that I’ve completed and sent off, I always picture that scene in Empire Strikes Back during the Battle of Hoth, when they’ve fought the ferocious ground battle for a while, and finally the Rebels are clear to get the first transport away. They shout something like “Transport 1 is away!!” and everyone cheers. It’s the exhilarating feeling that you’ve completed a difficult task and all you’ve worked for has had a positive result.
Thanks Thot 
I usually just dance around the house and have an extra bounce in my step. But now I’m going to have the Hoth image in my head, lol.
Though if I manage to pass everything (I’ll know late March) then it’ll be more like the montage at the end of Jedi. 
As it has been said you Rock.
Ended up at Circuit City yesterday and bought a $225 camera for $90. Will be useful at MegaCon today.
You know, I don’t really need to know how you and Mrs. Talos do things, but thanks for sharing.
As I recall, that didn’t turn out so well for the rebels, at least in the short term…
Casilda, on the other hand, should come out all right. Woot, Cassie!
The transport did get away didn’t it? Crap, do I have to go back and watch ESB again?
It did. But it may have been the only one that did. Seems like the Empire kicked some rebel (sorryBarb) on Hoth…
I WAS THERE!!!
It was pretty fun actually, not what i expected a lot more anime then i thought would be there
Haha, no, not with him, had to take the wife ;). Yeah, he was there, performed a verse reading on stage, Tom and Crow (Corbett, not Beaulieu) from MST3K were there, and I shook Tom’s hand, and I think my wife and I were in the background on some photos Neil’s personal assistant now has (we were just standing in the anteroom between the foyer and the theatre between acts and Neil was taking a bunch of photos with his G1. I figured he wasn’t at the concert ot be bothered by rabid fans so I mostly just aged my heart about a year and a half and couldn’t believe I just ran into Neil Gaiman at a concert for some guy no one at my office knows.
So my wife threw it all up on Facebook and it was awesome and now I have pictures so I can say it all happened. Best wedding anniversary ever.
And thanks for the welcome!
There is a chance we might get snow flurries tonight/tomorrow. I think that would be awesome. Snow in Florida!!!
When I lived in North Florida it did snow. Students did not respond to the first bell. I could see them just standing there through the window. Not until I stepped outside did I know they were watching snow falling. I did not have the heart to yell at them to come in.
We’re getting a major snow storm in the Washington region today. I decided not to even try to make it up to Baltimore. With the kids home, though, I don’t know how much work I’ll manage to get done at home. I guess it wouldn’t be a big loss if I didn’t get much done. 
SNOW DAY SNOW DAY SNOW DAY!!! first snow day in about 7 years or something. i just woke up. this is amazing
My group in my business communications class got a 100 on a recent project. Professor said we were the first group ever to get a 100 on that particular assignment. Guess you could say we rocked that form letter.
My local grocery store carries tomato paste in a tube instead of a can. This has made me very happy.
I’m about halfway through writing my cello concerto and just sketched out the little Renaissance dance (in a piece based on an ancient Greek myth? huh?) that I’d like to have the second movement start with (what comes next is beyond me, though).
Work in some “Watchtower”!
If you’ve given a musician’s-eye-view of the episode, I’ve missed it. If you haven’t, I’d love to hear (read) it.
I think I posted something over on one of the episode threads a few days ago. There’s not much to tell, though. It’s about as good a picture of the composing process as I’ve seen on film or TV (thanks in no small part to Bear McCreary’s input) but not perfect (though that may be because it doesn’t quite match my own process. I’ve never written at the piano and my problem is not so much coming up with ideas as whittling them down to something useful and non-facile sounding, if that makes any sense). I did like how they worked in the piano, and the tune (which could be simple enough for a kid to play, but sounds much more sophisticated when you have the “secondo” part that Slick was playing) and in general the thoughts on music and how it makes life worth living, that sort of thing.
It ain’t 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould (starring President Adar as Glenn Gould!), but it’s good in its treatment of music. And the piano playing was real, which is nice (it gets so annoying seeing people try to fake play on film).
So much fo not having that much to say, huh? :o
My first Honor Harrington book came today!
