kareinaKnowing that I wanted to listen to the House Concert in Talkeetna, and that the time zone changes meant that it was airing at 06:00 Sunday morning my time, I opted to just stay up all night. I accomplished some uni work while waiting for air time, and then very much enjoyed listening to the concert. Since Tania and Mike prefer to do acoustic shows the broadcast was made possible by hanging microphones from the rafters, rather than sticking them in front of the musicians and instruments. This meant that those of us listening in from overseas got to hear everything just like we were in the room--the buzz of conversation before the show and during intermission was quite energetic. I am even fairly certain that I heard someone in the crowd shout "Hi Reia" when the MC mentioned that they were being broadcast live. For those of you who wanted to listen in, but were busy at that time, Whole Wheat Radio says that there will be a recording available for download on the above web page (page down to the bottom) soon. The concert ended at 08:40 my time, so I went home and went to sleep. Didn't wake up till about 16:30.
However, despite sleeping away the day, I woke up inspired, and have publicly declared my intentions to actually write the summary of my PhD thesis research for publication, with a first draft to go to my advisor by 1 February. I have spent much of this evening working towards this goal, and have managed to prune large amounts of superfluous information from my thesis introduction to create much of (a much more concise) introduction for the paper. The plan is to keep working on this in my "free time", without neglecting work for my current research. Wish me luck.
Now the weekend is pretty much over (it is 23:30 Sunday evening as I type), and I should see if I can sleep tonight, since I wish to go to the Monday market in the morning to get produce for the week (since the quality there is generally much better than available in the supermarkets, though the fact that one may not touch nor select one's own produce at the market is annoying) and I need to meet with the owner of my Closet to give him cash for rent at mid-day.
