Woot, may have gig playing for a schnazzola jewelry store dinner party. Good thing, since none of my orchestras rehearse this month.

Made dinner with Maureen and Dr. Tepping and my husband. Sooo much chopping and peeling. Like rehearsing chamber music, Maureen requires a lot of prep time, but it's always good.

Lesson with Valerie today. Blew my mind, again. We spent most of the lesson just on bow changes. What she said is way too detailed for me to write down, it's like ciphering the communications between a divine locust swarm. Not in a doomy way, just the way prophets come away from sights-man-was-not-meant-to-behold with that blank expression, saying, "...stars....monsters...so beautiful..."

Got a fit of inspiration on the Marta train two days ago, wrote a chanson based on a scene out of Grim Fandango (what do you call a Spanish art song?). I should get Gina's friend Gerald-the-bass to sing it.
