Re: The Moonlit Grove of Naughtiness and Quietude!
heh, I'm pretty certain that the composers of pieces like that absolutely hate high school bands.
That's the only reason I can think of for their insistence on punishing them with pieces that switch between 6/8 and 7/8 seemingly at random.....I can remember a few of them myself from my brass band days

Had Katsu Don for brunch, a tall cappucinno. And my brain is still not working.

Yup, same here. I love being in groups of people, talking and listening to stories (and what happened to somebody at the grocery store yesterday is a story too). But I do indeed love my time alone on the couch with a book.

Yeah, curling up with a nice, thick book is one of the nicest things ever. I long for those quiet moments every now and then.

Re: The Moonlit Grove of Naughtiness and Quietude!
There's a painting I need to do now. A woodcarving would be optimum, but the last time I carved something, I was 15, and I needed help doing it. Or rather, my mother thought I was incapable of doing it and ended up doing it for me.
Okay. Maybe I really DO need to carve this.

Re: The Moonlit Grove of Naughtiness and Quietude!
Lack of time. But I will. I should :)
So many "moments" over the past couple of weeks that I am hard-pressed to pick one.
But here's this: Going to my favourite "Ophelia" spot in a certain park to reclaim it for myself.

Well, it's certainly been an interesting....few weeks.
But I'm back. Sort of. Not that I ever really left.

Re: The Moonlit Grove of Naughtiness and Quietude!
Upon weighing the pros and cons, I decided that there are ways in which to work google; time, tide, and hopeful future publications will take care of the rest. Google is as fickle as a pirate wench, anyway. Likely, I made a mountain out of a molehill and it's not like I need to re-enter the job market this year, or even next year. Things can change. But I'm here, and I'm here on my own steam. And that's that. I'm going to consider the past few weeks a lesson in (1) trust (2) self-censorship and I shall exercise this in the future.
Now, since this thread is all about moments, I do have a moment to share.
Growing things. I've been trying to grow mint and I was so pleased when my mint plant actually started showing shoots! The first pot I planted died, but the other one is still alive. Seeing something grow because I tended it gave me inexpressible joy and it does really bring home what's important in life.

Whatever you do, DO NOT PLANT MINT IN THE GROUND. It will take over the whole yard!!!!
Someday will find you.

Re: The Moonlit Grove of Naughtiness and Quietude!
*chuckles* thanks for reminding me ;) - yeah, I couldn't if I wanted to, landlady's garden. She was kind enough to give me a small pot though and some fertilizer. I remember back home where the mint ran wild for awhile. It was beautiful!

Yup, given the right conditions, mint can be nasty.

Yeah, my mom told me once that it sucks the nutrients from the soil so other plants can't really get it, is that true, oh Mistress Botanimaniac?

Re: The Moonlit Grove of Naughtiness and Quietude!
I just had a funny thought. A quiller is kinda a scribe, which is kinda what I am, both writer and scholar. So isn't my darling little mint plant, kinda sorta, a Quiller's Mint?

Huh, then again, a Quiller could very well be a producer of Quills.

All plants take nutrients from the soil. Might be that mint needs relatively much... not sure right now.
But the "dangerous" thing about Mints is that they spread by rhizomes (horizontal underground stems), which enables them to spread fast and form tight clumps, practically "chocking" other plants. And once planted, it is very hard to get them out of the ground again, because they'll grow back from bits of rhizomes/roots left in the ground.

Yep. Our spearmint took over, running under sidewalks to appear on the other side of the walk.

Wow, that sounds scarily tenacious. I will be vigilant about my little Mint!
