weeknotes 22: spotlight (2015)
there’s something unpleasant in the air. nothing seems to be going right. idk
i “finished” the secret project. tell you about it next week. it’s only going to arrive slightly late.
murder on the dancefloor was fun. sounds good i think.
saturday was the movie night. watched Spotlight (2015). very good movie, great as a spiritual successor to All The President’s Men. deeply uncomfortable subject matter. i don’t want to watch it again but i’m glad i did which is the whole point.

weeknotes 21: just one more meeting bro
last night i went to bed with a migraine and this morning i woke up with a slightly less bad migraine then decided to come into the office. this is going to be a brief one.
monday, as usual, choir. going over “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” and “To The Moon And Back“. we’re in phones away going over the entire setlist mode at the moment. i had been worried that we’d get everything down in time but we’re truly getting there. tonight a subset of us are practicing Murder On The Dancefloor. i’m hyped. come watch us yeah?

weeknotes 15: ten boroughs
i write this on the train home from the choir. we got back from camping this afternoon. i have been in ten london boroughs today, that feels like a record. please let me sleep now.
busy week: moving a cat cage from streatham hill to wandsworth road; meeting a new catsitter Haasje who is the loveliest and made sure kettricken loved her too by the end of the weekend; moving andy and piers’s camping gear from wandsworth road to nunhead.
and then camping. we’re getting it down to a fine art. our tent goes fwoomp, it takes literally two minutes to put up fully. i can turn a bag of logs and a box of matches into a campfire. the replacement stainless steel mesh i put eyelets in for the portable bbq works great. i’m pretty sure i have a phobia of wasps.
they’re shipping some Curves by rail just over there.

weeknotes 14: angel oak
in summer the choir apparently scatters to the four winds. monday there were about ten of us, and the person teaching To The Moon And Back wasn’t one of them. we just sat on the floor and ran through basically our entire setlist. a lot if which i don’t know yet! really gonna have to learn them before our gig in october.
so a friend worked on Deadpool & Wolverine. her partner couldn‘t make it to the cast & crew screening, so she put a message out on our Discord. sorry folks, i am More Online Than You,

weeknotes 12: savage garden
let’s just pretend I’ve been doing these the whole time and don’t have to recap the last checks notes two years
after a disastrous few weeks at the choir trying to learn No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) by Donna Summer feat Barbra Streisand (weird disco key changes, stupidly wide range, way too much funk rhythm) we moved onto To The Moon And Back by Savage Garden. it’s a lot of fun! we got through most of it in one session, we’ll probably finish tonight?
i’m really starting to get comfortable with my singing voice, it’s a great feeling. even just warming up and singing something once a week makes a huge difference. ASYMPTOTES vocals when
