Today's randomness

[vvvexation]

Miracle of miracles: today I had a car door slammed on my hand and due to the way the door was constructed, I was hurt less than I would ever have imagined possible in such a situation. In fact, it quit hurting almost completely within a few minutes. Not only that, but the guy who did it is talking of buying me food by way of apology. I suddenly begin to understand the appeal of being a professional accident victim.

Also, we are apparently performing on Sunday in an octagonal church. That is hella nifty. Kinda sucks that it's in BFE, though.

It occurs to me that I've neglected to mention we're performing Sunday at all. We're doing a couple of cantatas and a harpsichord concerto, all by Bach. Saturday's show is in Oakland, Sunday's is in Palo Alto. Details are here.

Ow, crap. Sorry about the hand.

Gah, I didn't mean for my entire flist to start apologizing too! It really was amazing how little it hurt. I laughed. A lot. Really.

"Sorry" isn't always apology. I'm sorry, for instance, about what's happened to kids in Sudan over the past two decades. But I don't apologize ;)

I guess that was poorly phrased of me. It's just that sympathy and apology blur together a bit, and the door-slamming guy already apologized plenty.

Okay then, let's just say I winced in sympathy.

Glad your hand is okay.
An octagonal church does sound nifty, snap a picture if you can or let us know where it is.

I've got no camera, but it's located here: http://berkeleybach.org/Directions/allsaints.htm

Oh, and there's a just-painted labyrinth in the courtyard. (shipofools999 should hear about this.)

Oooo! Are you a singer or an instrumentalist?

[vvvexation.livejournal.com]

Singer. Alto. (Unfortunately, as we're rather short on sopranos at the moment.)

Same thing happened to me a month or two ago; isn't modern technology great?
