and whatever

as finals week (or, more appropriately, the Period of Keeping Myself In Denial For As Long As Possible) drags on, my thoughts get more and more disjointed. thus, it's time for one of my incoherent bullet-point posts.

• i had forgotten how much fun "For Unto Us A Child Is Born" is to sing. i participated in a Messiah sing-along this afternoon...and yet again, the "Wonderful Counsellor" part had me covered in goosebumps. there's so much baroque awesomeness in that piece...but no part stirs me like that one does.
• i've actually been doing a lot of singing this weekend...the choir concert was last night. i can't say every song went by without a hitch, but there were moments of absolute beauty. i was especially pleased about how we did "dover beach revisited" by dominic argento...that's my favourite piece we did this semester, and i'm so glad that it went well in the performance.
• amusing random people should not be allowed in the coffee cartel. they are detrimental to my studying. i met up with one of my friends there yesterday afternoon for the purpose of studying criminal procedure. neither of managed to crack a book open. the person at the next table was a 2L at SLU who happened to have the most hilarious stories known to man. thus, the three of us spent three hours laughing and carrying on until i realised that i had to go home and get ready for my choir concert. oops.
• i've done no work this weekend. i've done no studying this weekend. i've done no law this weekend. i have to start that back up again tomorrow, since i have two more finals [criminal procedure and incarceration] that must be finished by friday.
• i don't know if any NFL players or coaches read this, but just in case...will someone please, please, please find a way to defeat the Patriots? they're now 13-0. the last thing the city of boston needs is another sports team to act obnoxiously superior about. if the Pats go undefeated this season, no one will ever hear the end of it.

alright, off to shirk some more. i should be studying...but jonathan coulton is hilarious, and he's playing a concert tonight at blue hill.
