Taking and Making: February 12

Today, I took in:

a couple chapters in The Sellout

a couple episodes of People of Interest and one of Grace and Frankie

 

I made: 

progress on my Italian pronunciation in the Verdi piece we’re doing in choir

Taking and Making: February 5

Today, I took in: 

one chapter of A People’s History of the United States

the rest of Over Sea, Under Stone

May Erlewine’s albums Mother Lion and Golden

 

I made:

a short post on some visual artists for Black History Month

a silly pose that went over very well with the kids at the after-school center

an effort at singing Italian for the first time for a new piece we’re doing in choir
