"Shelves in the closet! Happy thought indeed."

*dances*

Am now happy owner of Ellen Kushner's Thomas the Rhymer! Reading must be deferred, however, until I get back from my cousin's wedding in Canada.

Said wedding has somehow got me scheduled to fiddle to get people to 'gather' before the ceremony. Hope nobody expects Vivaldi or Bach; if so, nasty shocks all round. If there are no objections to sets of varying degrees of Scottishness, however, all will be well.

I am particularly proud of just having (mostly) learned a tune called "Mr. Beveridge's Maggot", which some of you may remember as the tune and dance in A&E's Pride and Prejudice (the one danced by Elizabeth and Darcy at the Netherfield ball).

Yup, am on full-blown Jane Austen kick. I am all happiness!

eep! (your post title)

eep! (Thomas the Rhymer.) Kaelin and I are going to the worldcon panel given by Ellen Kushner on Thomas the Rhymer this evening - it intergrates portions of the book read aloud with presentations of the original ballads put into the book. So Kaelin plans to read as much of my copy of the book before 9 as possible. ^_^

Mr. Beveridge's Maggot

Yay! A reference to that was on my very first fc resume... Did you realize that it's played in that wretched Gwenyth Paltrow Emma, too?

First, where in Canada?

Second, dude! I've been going to all these concerts here and you should BE HERE. :( There's like, so much to share. And some of the people, everyone's all excited and they're like, 'oh, they're soooo good!'

And of course, I nod and smile and think in my head:

'Yeah, whatever, my roommate is better.'

;)

I feel like asking some of the performers to play Catharsis just to see if they know it...
