Until further notice: clawing through the to-do list a yoctometre at a time. *glares at clock, shakes head*

Joyful things:

sweet tea

the shop thinks they can give me my car back tomorrow

plot twists. No idea when or how the hell I'm going to manage to write 'em, but it almost doesn't matter: just thinking about the possibilities gets me grinning.

Excel PivotTables. Saints and subtotals! I hadn't known the program could do that.

listening to two oboists rehearse a single phrase of Mozart over and over again

What's up with your car?

Broken swingarm in the suspension, rain leaking through the cowl panel, and a mysterious rattle that was apparently a loose prop rod. The bill is not looking pretty. :-(

And we couldn't pick it up today because I couldn't get away from work. *misses car*

You know how music theorists define "minor second?" Two oboists playing in unison!!

Et tu, cara? I played oboe my last two years of high school. (And also viola. "What do you call 10,000 violas at the bottom of the sea? A good start.")

Flute, bassoon, and oboe. In that order. I should pull the oboe off the bookshelf and play a little tomorrow.
