A new font and a new song

Posted on 12:34 by simmo
What's your favourite everyday, "academic", creative-writing font?  Mine is Georgia 11px, but my newest fave is Cambria, 15px, which I'm using right now.  It's been around a while, but it's fairly new to me.  :P  Cambria is underrated, in my humble opinion... 

Oh, and I found yet another favourite violin piece!  It's now on my list of songs to learn...



This piece (with orchestra accompaniment) was the encore of a concert we attended recently.  I don't care if a concert is already 2 1/2 hours long...I LOVE encores.  :)  Sometimes they're even better than the concert itself.  At this concert, they also played Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture, which was EPIC.  They played it faster than I'm used to, but it was really cool.  I think a great deal of the depth and detail of a symphony (or overture) is lost in recordings, so it's always interesting to hear orchestral music live. 

School has been keeping me "extraordinarily busy", so my blog posts will be much less frequent and probably impromptu (impromptu!  I don't even like that word, but oh well...).  But hopefully there will be at least twice as many new blog posts when Christmas break comes.  :)  Meanwhile I'll be reading and commenting on blog posts as often as I can!
