This was hilarious. I decided I'm going to make every Tuesday, "Name That Tune -- The Mr. C Mystery" I'm psyched. Everyone was mad at me because the first song I picked was a song that no one knew except for two kids--but it was worth it.
There is an amazing video game called Portal and if you haven't played it, buy an xbox and do it. Anyway, Portal 2 just came out so I decided to arrange it's closing song, "Still Alive".
They loved it! They being the two kids who knew the song. Everyone else was pissed that I didn't do this instead.

#64: Buy a New Phone
Missed one! I've had my iPhone for a while now. I love it more than any phone I've ever had. Sadly, I have lately been watching Intervention on it late at night. This is a terrible idea, as I was very tired all week. Friends: if you care about me, please schedule my Intervention intervention immediately. Anyway, my new phone is amazing, and about two months old. Yay!

#111: Read a Short Story I've Never Read
This is my second of five short stories, and really I read like three of them, but all from the same collection and by the same author. It was David Sedaris, in his new(ish) book, "Squirrel Seek Chipmunk". My favorite, by far, was "The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck". I laughed out loud. While on a plane.

#35: Direct a Musical
Seussical Jr. was a lot of time spent working with my students, and a LOT of stress, but it's all worth it in the end when the kids have a great show and are thankful. I still don't like directing, but for the purposes of this blog I still have at least one more in me.

#21, #25, #35, #156, #233
Maybe my next goal should be to become a better blogger. Here's what's happened lately, in numerical order to the list, not necessarily chronologically:
#21: Watch a Community Theater/College Musical
I saw Chicago at PSU. I've seen the show on Broadway and have heard the songs a lot, but it was wonderful seeing a lot of my friends from ETC (and one from Master Chorale) perform. I went with Will, Pat and Angela rather spur of the moment, but it was worth it.
#25: Perform the Saint-Saens Sonata
Performed with Will at a Mu Phi Epsilon meeting.
#34: Start a Benefit Concert for the Eighth Grade Class
This went even better than expected: a casual night of music that raised $500+. It was probably the least polished performance I've had at Campton, but probably the one most liked by the parents as it was casual, fun...and pop music.
#156: Find a White Wine that I Like
Riesling! Specifically the Pacific Rim Riesling that I had with Angela at the Comman Man in Ashland.
#233: Complete the HRC Pinboard
Oh yeah! Picture to come...maybe. Probably not, but just come over to the house and I'll show you!
On a side note...
I am totally counting seeing Melanie at a Voce concert as seeing her at a Eastern Connecticut Symphony Chorus Concert...hopefully that's the last time I have to type that annoyingly long name. I am listening to Voce recording of "Sure On this Shining Night" right now!
Also, I'm not counting Red Cat as a red wine that I like, even though I do like it. It was a day before I started the list and as you serve it chilled I feel like I would be cheating.
Lastly, although I was nominated by Lambda to become a VP, the position I was interested in is one that I am not eligible for, so I'm passing on that one. Maybe it should be changed to: Present at the conference. I could deal with that.

#196: Learn to Ice Skate Backwards
Every winter my school has a half day every Tuesday for six winter weeks. The rest of the day the entire school goes to the mountain and skates, skis, snowshoes, swims or something of the like. After six times last year and three times so far this year, I have not fallen while ice skating once--although have come close. Also, I have recently perfected skating backwards.
Have to go back to making giant cupcake, which, now that I think of it, might qualify as another update! I may just pretend it does so I can upload a sweet cupcake photo. #196 is done!
