I think I need to marry this woman.

It's been through rejection, critiques, and has tried to change in order to make everyone happy. It cannot make everyone happy, however, as it is a very, very, terrible pun and I probably deserve to go to hell for trying to push it. But I've kinda been egged on, too, so it's not entirely my fault.

...is the Eagle vs. Shark, "awkward love". I've seen more amazing designs for this contest than I know what to do with.

Is it just me who feels this way? I think not.

Can this be done before it's approved?

Yeah, so I accidentally posted a new version to a critique five times in a row, so I hit "delete critique," which was right next to the last version, as I didn't see any other way to delete the extra posts. And it deleted the whole critique. Is there a better way to solve this problem? (Other than not hitting "refresh" because the page says it's done and shows nothing...and then posting something five times in a row.)

Oh boy! Guess my happy surprise when I got home from working at the grocery store, feeling sorry for myself because my boyfriend had left for Spring Break and because I missed a chance at free Thai food, and seeing that my submission actually went through! When one mixes happy news like this with feeling-sorry-for-oneself toaster-waffles and a hot toddy, one gets glowing, pink cheeks--or could that be the scotch?--and a sense that everything is A-OK.

This good news is really what I needed before conducting the women in a 7/8 meter Bulgarian piece. I really hope this choir tour goes well!
