Yes, I have a real life. This is how I spent it last Tuesday.

The Nashville Early Music Ensemble is designed to perform the vocal and instrumental music of the Medieval and Renaissance periods as well as folk music from several world cultures. The twenty-seven member ensemble features musicians with diverse musical backgrounds but all with experience in early music. Instruments used by the ensemble include viols, lutes, guitars, ud, psaltery, harp, violin, recorders, sackbut, and a wide variety of percussion. The singers perform in original languages. The ensemble director is Dr. Gerald Moore, a retired music professor from Lipscomb University, who taught music theory and directed the university Early Music Consort for over twenty-five years.

Tuesday morning we were at WPLN, 90.3, the local public radio station to record for their program "Studio C". For anyone interested in listening, the program will be rebroadcast tomorrow (Tuesday evening 12/15/09) at 8:00pm Central Time. You can listen online at www.wpln.org .

That evening we were at Christ Church Cathedral (an incredibly beautiful and historic church) in downtown Nashville for our annual Christmas concert. More photos from both events can be found here.

Come join us as we band together to support this truly awesome cause.  I've lost a cousin (younger than me) and a very dear friend and mentor (not much older than I am now at the time) to breast cancer, so I'm thrilled to be able to contribute to this awesome cause.

More information on the auction can be found here at Support Stacie.

Come join us in supporting this FANTASTIC cause.  Come bid on your favorite Doctor Who author and let's show those other fandoms where they can stuff it! 

From my favorite muse themusecalliopewe have:

What are your top five ninth Doctor quotes?


Ahhhh....she knows me well....



5)  "The thing is, Adam, time travel's like visiting Paris.  You can't just read the guide book, you've got to throw yourself in.  Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers."  The Long Game

4)  "I wanna find a blonde in a Union Jack.  I mean a specific one, I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving."  The Empty Child

3)  "Your wish is my command; but be careful what you wish for."  Father's Day

2)  "I think you need a Doctor."  The Parting of the Ways

1)  "The turn of the Earth.  The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at sixty-seven thousand miles and hour, and I can feel it.  We're falling through space, you and me.  Clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go...That's who I am."  Rose

 

This is fun!!! 

Been seeing this all over the place so I thought I would join in the fun.

Ask me my fannish (Doctor Who) Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post.

RL is being a bitch right now so I need some fluffy distraction.


Don't forget to check out the storm_and_wolf and it's Oncoming Ficathon!  (Thanks catyuy )

It all started with this thread here.

Yes...It's confirmed...I'm certifiably insane.

Come join us as we celebrate the epic story of the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler. Nine left the Whoniverse far too quickly. His manic grin, piercing blue eyes, and smoldering intensity teased us for a mere 13 episodes. Not nearly long enough. As we brace ourselves for the loss of another Doctor, not to mention an extremely uncertain future for the franchise, it’s time to feed the ficivores by creating more stories for our beloved Nine.

To that end I have created storm_and_wolf .  Help us indulge the hungry ficovores with as much Nine/Rose fanfic as possible to offset the trauma and angst of losing yet another beloved Doctor.


The idea is simple. At the beginning of each round, interested authors will be assigned a random prompt. Prompts may be one word, phrases, quotes, ideas, pictures, or songs.

Please read the Author's Guidelines here.

FAQ may be found here.

Signups for the first round will be from August 31 - September 7.  Prompts will be assigned September 8.  Completed stories or the first chapter of multi-chaptered stories are due October 19.

Please pimp the ficathon on your journals and other sites.  For this to work, we need authors AND readers so please pimp away.  Banners and icons for general pimpage may be found here.  As always...please remember to credit the absolutely amazing lostwolfchats for the incredibly beautiful artwork.

That's about it, I think.  If you have any questions or comments please contact the mod here.

Now....LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!!!!!

I did it!  I'm scared to death but I did it!!!!  Well...we can't let those other fandoms win the day, now can we.

Information on the auction can be found at here at Support Stacie.

Come join us in supporting this FANTASTIC cause.  If you haven't signed up then do so.  If not, come bid on your favorite author.  If your favorite author isn't signed up then come bid on me so I don't look silly with no bids at the end of the day...*makes puppy dog eyes*

I'm insane....

See this thread here...

I have maybe, kinda, sorta, been talked into organizing a Nine/Rose ficathon to ease the pain of losing Ten in the coming months.

SO

Before I get started, I want to get all my little ducks in a row.  I need some help with a couple of things.

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to make a banner and some matching icons for me? 

If anyone's willing, let me know in a comment here or by PM and I'll give you details of what I'm looking for.  Nine/Rose, romantic (not necessarily smutty) manip, maybe a little BadWolf...I'm just rubbish at doing these things, and need all the help I can get.

Swiped from doctorsdiva because it was just too damn funny not to:

Dear Amy,

I don't really know how to tell you this, but your nostrils are insulting. I think I realized it last year when you peed your pants at the mental hospital and I saw you drive over the elephant in the corner. I'm sure you're ashamed enough to understand that I get turned on only by garbage men. I'm returning your Hannah Montana underwear to you, but I'll keep your neighbor’s dog as a memory. You should also know that I always wanted to break your legs and your Cucumber-fetishism is weird.

Go drown yourself
