Back so soon?

Welcome to Palm Cove.

Greetings all. Just a quick little update to... pass the time I guess. Sitting here waiting for Will & Grace to come on and I've apparently finished the internet. Let's see...

So, you may or may not remember me mentioning a little group called Malestrom awhile back (one of my early posts). Well, just a little update on that group. It's still made up of Derek Poehls, myself, Nick Naujokas, and Jim Sele. One small change: while originally we were hoping to be sort of a fun, loosey-goosey Alterior Motiv-esque group we discussed at length last month and decided to concentrate on what we do best: classical repertoire. We sound the best, blend beautifully, learn it faster. Basically, it's what we've been trained to do so we decided to stop trying to fight it and just go with the flow. With the change in focus, we also changed our name. Well, maybe "changed" is a bit much. I guess we altered it. We are now: The Malestrom Quartet. I dunno, just sounds a bit more professional don't you think? Right now we're working up some pieces for a short-ish recital/concert in the Spring so hopefully that'll pan out. Also, our friend Joe Osowski has voiced some interest in having the Quartet travel to Anoka where he teaches to perform for his choir which would be a lot of fun. Another friend of ours from way back in the day (Paul Barta) has also invited us to go sing for his students up in Grand Forks. So, y'know, we're still here! Just stay tuned (little bit of bad music humor for you).

Watched Zombieland today and it was a pretty good flick. The surprise cameo was just outstanding but I don't want to go into detail and ruin it for people who haven't had a chance to see the movie yet. Also, I finally saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and it was fantastic. Wow. I really enjoyed it and suggest it to anyone who likes great movies.

Done for now. Will & Grace is starting. Bye all!
