Meanwhile, the orchestra also included not only generous helpings of all your usual string instruments (violin, viola, cello, double bass) but also four (! Playing continuo and numerous obbligato (think guest star) instruments like recorders, oboe, viola d’amore. This is probably the best aria, with the chalumeau:. The story so far.

Tame adventures only, please. 8230; →. New plan for fame and fortune. November 3, 2009. Previously, in college, my back-up plan went like this:. 1 write trashy thriller murder-mystery about Yale, involving secret societies, insider knowledge on the world behind the ivy-covered gate (or in the ivory tower – or whatever), bodies thrown off Harkness, etc. 2 zoom to the top of the NYT best-seller list. 3 become millionaire a la Dan Brown. 4 buy my way into the Swingle Singers. On stage appears a raggle-taggl...

Tame adventures only, please. March 29, 2011. So while I’m wearing sweatpants and my old Christ Church sweatshirt and glasses in the middle of the day, I might as well write about Fasnacht, which was the week before last. It’s Monday-Wednesday of the. Eventually the latter was settled on, which is why the total length of my facebook fast is actually more than 40 days–poor me! 8211;but in Basel, for some reason lost in the mists of time, they stuck with the shorter Lent and later carnival.

Tame adventures only, please. 8220;Imagine myself as a singer…” →. September 3, 2010. The sun is setting, children are playing under my window, and tomato sauce is bubbling on the stove. It’s my first evening in Basel and I’m super excited. And when we landed in Basel, summoned my last few ounces of strength to catch the bus and then the tram to my final destination for the foreseeable future – my new apartment! It’s only a small step to becoming a tax-evading millionaire! September 4, 2010 at 5:45 pm.

Tame adventures only, please. 8220;Imagine myself as a singer…”. The story so far. October 18, 2010. How much effort will this need? And entertaining possible new students (how much money will you give me? How much hassle will you bring? And I’m still, in all my insecurity, trying to weigh my own worth against the expectations I’m meeting (oh, am I good at this? Oh no, am I terrible at that? Finally I can practice as much as I want! Practicing is still hard. I don’t always know exactly what I&#...In a fe...

Tame adventures only, please. Lent I →. I don’t want to jinx it, but…. February 8, 2011. I just had a near-to-perfect vacation day. I’ll skip to the punchline right now:. Yes, I bought new shoes, und zwar, finally, a pair of El Naturalista shoes — on sale! I’ve been looking at and drooling over this brand of shoes in many different shops since moving to Berlin, but could never quite justify forking out for them. But these were on sale! And in my size! And actually very comfortable! I barely even know wha...

A voyage | Tame adventures only, please
https://tameadventures.wordpress.com/2010/07/29/a-voyage
Tame adventures only, please. July 29, 2010. July days are speeding by like groceries past a Lidl cashier, leaving me fumbling with shopping bags, exact change, and … all kinds of feelings. Another big deadline, another big doomsday is approaching: August 14. The day on which I will say goodbye to Berlin and hop a westbound train. Why on earth am I doing this, when I could take a simple flight from Schoenefeld to Stansted and be there in an extremely small fraction of the time? August 17, 2010 at 5:41 pm.

Maybe one defining accessory, like a gigantic ring or – ooh! 8211; a dog in a purse? I can’t see this taking up too much of my time. But maybe it’s good to have the impetus to go shopping.

Tame adventures only, please. I don’t want to jinx it, but… →. February 7, 2011. Friday was great fun. I had been to Marktkauf in Germany the day before and bought 50 euros worth of food (mostly meat – so much cheaper there! Incidentally, is there a better nomeclature for Schola people? I suppose Scholars would be the most grammatically obvious way, but seems wrong. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. I don’t want to jinx it, but… →. One response to “ The weekend.
