You and I with some other folks hanging out at the bus station at Gateway Mall late at night waiting to be taken back to campus, and you were singing the Tale of Sweeny Todd, and when you said "He served a dark and a hungry god" I could have sworn you said "He served a duck to a hungry god" and thought it was the best thing ever.

It still is.

And, you know, thanks to you I've been singing it that way, off and on, ever since. It's a great reinterpretation, and I owe it all to you. :)

Remember meeting you at bab5 and remarking that not only are you smart, you're cute too! Then finding out that you were only here on loan.... glad I still get to read your posts and see pics of your family.

You're too kind. :) As for "on loan"...well, depends on what happens with jobs once I'm done here. While I'd prefer the Pacific NW if possible, a lot of the tasty industry jobs in my area of research are in the Bay. So we'll see.

Us waiting for a panel that never started while singing Chess together since we both knew all the words.

You probably know the words better than I do; I'm just really good at faking it (as in, changing the word I'm saying in mid-syllable if I've realized I've screwed up). Wow, I'd totally forgotten about that. Thanks!

("We wish--no, must--make our disgust at this abuse perfectly clear...")

Now I think I'm going to have to put that on. :)

Me too, after I finish listening to the Uffington Horse I just got last weekend.

"We're here for Chess, are the US..."
"I must protest our delegation has a host of valid points to raise!"

I love how each of them is an instrument in a quartet, her violin cutting over the deeper strings. That's my favorate piece in the whole musical

"Through....the elegant yelling of this compelling dispute
Comes....the ghastly suspicion my opposition's--a fruit."

(Incidentally, I just did a Google search on the first phrase above and came across Chess/Harry Potter slash fiction. The world is a very strange place.)

Hm. Not sure I can map this quartet onto a conventional string quartet. Molokov is clearly the cello, The Arbiter is a viola, and certainly Florence is the violin...but what does that make The Russian? Hmm. Can't be another violin, he's singing too low. I suppose we could make Molokov a string bass and have The Russian be a cello...that might work. :)
