Miscellany

Once again I've hit that "I must catch up on everyone's journals before I can post again" rut, but I know mea rosa, in particular, will want to read this, as well as everybody else, so here 'tis.

LeGuin speech on the nature of fantasy from June 4th.

Other news in this neck of the woods...

The mole on my arm tested negative-- everything is a-okay.
I'm still waiting to hear from Pacifica on my application. I hate waiting.
I have a deposit on a car in UTAH after much runaround from dealers here (since my houseguests left, I've been engaged in hunter gatherer mode). Orders for the Prius are about to be cut off because Toyota is 20,000 orders behind, and one can't get them fer love or money. Mine will probably arrive April.
My health insurance is screwed up, so medications that used to cost me $30 now cost $147. Joy. Next thing on to do list.
And that's about it in the practical department.

In the impractical department, just because, here's a new piece of music I'm working on. Professional musicians plug your ears. Liltha means "it dances".

Take care everyone!

Hey there, good to hear from you. I wanted to thank you for letting me use that other piece of music for that contest entry. I didn't win, as it turns out. But you gotta figure that with 3400 entries some people were just going to go over the top with their entries. Apparently the guy they picked for the music catagory got his whole band in on it. :)

Still, it was a fun project. Learning those lyrics phonetically was harder than I thought, but a neat challenge.

Also, I really liked Liltha. Did you do that with your little harp? Because it sounds really good. :)

Explanations.
