Morning short takes

Is the restaurant EVOO named after extra virgin olive oil?

Seen on the T: black knit winter gloves with white (glow in the dark?) bones of the hand in the anatomically correct places.

Hannuka tonight.

Working on crocheting projects is good for my mind (making things rather than just thinking about making things), but not always easy on my fingers.

The Method Chorollaries

I went to the MIT Chorallaries concert this weekend. First up was the guest group, Berklee College of Music's The Method, which is a 9-guy group that's very impressive, especially considering it's only their second year. They sang a variety of music, including some jazz (Chick Corea, others) and some rock, and it was all great. I hope they continue (and record a CD).

I wish the Chorollaries were as good, but they weren't. Except for one singer, none of the leads had enough power to balance out the rest of the group. And they just didn't seem to have much energy, either. I think maybe they spent it on the long, on-going skit, which was only mildly entertaining. I was a bit disappointed, both because of the contrast to The Method, and because I've heard them in previous years, and they've been better. Not that it was a horrible concert; other than the balance issues, the music was fairly solid, just not exciting.

Dang

They just did maintainence of some sort on my journal, and a couple of entries have vanished, comments and all. How long do I wait for their return before I file a request or something?
