The concert of the amateur orchestra

nazgul_nr_5 plays cello in wasn't nearly as bad as I was warned to expect! Actually, it was quite good. The violins were off to a weak start, but the moment the oboe soloist began to play, they suddenly found their feet and kept them - apart from one truly horrorful moment at the end of the slow movement of that Haydn piano concerto they did as the second piece; that was so bad I felt like running out of the hall for a moment. But then the movement was over, there was a short moment where everybody took a deep breath, and the violins miraculously recovered again. The piano soloist was a bit too young, shy and bland to bang properly where she should have, though.

The second part of the concert, some symphony by a totally unknown contemporary of Mozart (they have a new one each time; I half-jokingly suspect the conductor sekritly writes them himself and invents the composers), I spent staring pleasantly into space and plotting evil for

asar_suti, a Dark God Of Awesome Power I have consented to temporarily RP at the Crackbar. But fear not - I have not really succumbed! He'll be over before Christmas.

I was a bit disappointed, even, when the symphony suddenly broke into a blaring finale and fell silent, and there weren't any encores at all; I wasn't through with Asar-Suti yet.-

It's not the excentricity, my dear, it's the quotability. ANd this last sentence was highly quotable.

once again i can only say, you missed some goodies in the olden days.

so, this is your week off then? i can expect you up and typing at 1 am?

No, this is my week on, where I am going to be at work every afternoon. Also, it is hopefully going to be the first of my two weeks as

asar_suti at the crackbar, where the world can expect me to be up and typing at all hours of the day or night.
