checking in
let's see, what have i been up to since last saturday? a decent bit, i suppose. sunday was one of the most productive days i've had all year; i think i worked from noon to midnight, relatively consistently. monday and tuesday were much more sensible. yesterday i went to see 'voyage', part 1 of 'coast of utopia', tom stoppard's new play. i was very impressed, mostly by the dialogue, but also by the acting and the set design. they had a couple semi-transparent curtains that made a nice background effect, and a large number of mannequins that represented the oppressed serf class in russia in the 1830s, accentuated by a few mirrors and the presence of several serf cast members. there was a very bizarre, disturbing character towards the end of the play - a six foot ginger cat, reminiscent of donnie darko's bunny rabbit, both in the style of its insertion into ordinary life and the sense of fate and doom that it conveyed within the story.
other than that, fantasy baseball remains active, and my draft league team hovers around 8th-9th place of 12. 3 of my hitters are still batting below .150, and while two of them are sitting on the bench, i keep thinking adam laroche will get better, so i've been playing him, at least against weaker RHP. my starting pitching hasn't been as good as it should be, though it's been fine; i have johan santana pitching today, along with el duque hernandez against the primarily RHH lineup of the florida marlins, so i am feeling optimistic. with howie kendrick's broken finger (out 4-6 weeks), i've been relegated to playing ryan theriot's hot bat and hot feet at 2B, with b.j. upton at 3B, until alex gordon snaps out of his start-of-season slump (.125/.208/.229).
finally, my final two concerts with the Yale Russian Chorus are this Friday and Saturday; the Friday one is an on-campus concert at Dwight Hall, which is actually going to be recorded as a live concert, with some of the tracks going on to our next CD. we recorded a CD a year ago, and it's still in production, which annoys me greatly. but i'm psyched about throwing a live track or two on there, especially if we perform Bogoroditse Devo up to our usual levels.

You did not come to New York to see Coast of Utopia on the same day (or maybe a day after--can't remember when exactly I saw Voyage but it was that week for sure) I did and not said hi! Argh! Did you ever catch the last two parts?
