Jun. 28th, 2006 07:13 pm1. I now own a muddler. I shall muddle all the damn day.
2. I talked to Springstep and while they aren't a bargain, they are within the acceptable range. I'm going to make a concerted effort to get a live person at the phone at the other place I'm looking at during the day tomorrow, but if I don't get anyone, I'll happily go with Springstep. In fact, the more i think about it, the better Springstep sounds--I'm thinking mirrors will be more crucial to the workshop than a spooky setting will be for the hafli, especially given that Springstep has a perfectly nice stage (it's just bright and blonde wood, vaguely scandianvian looking). Plus, we can just turn the lights down low. I'll talk to my financial sounding board M when he gets home tonight, but I think I may have made a decision here...
3. I have contacted a translator that another dancer was happy with at translatorsbase.com, a site that hooks up people who need translating done with freelance translators, about translating some of the songs I use a lot. The price the other dancer got was reasonable enough that I can do a few songs a month; it's worth spending the money to really know the meaning of my favorite songs and improve the emotive content of my dancing.
4. I have some Delirium Tremens to imbibe. I guess this one is more of an indulgence than an accomplishment, at least until the bottle is empty. And on that note, good night!
