I realized tonight that Halloween is coming up in less than ten days, meaning I need to make owl cookies, and soon! I won’t let this be this first Halloween that I haven’t had owl cookies. Perhaps I’ll have time to go to the grocery store tomorrow to get all the ingredients. Then I can make the dough on Friday afternoon, and make the cookies on Saturday. I think I’ll make enough to take them to Breakers (a.k.a. “the communist kitchen” in Alex-lingo) and share them with everyone. Ooh, actually, I could even use the kitchen at Breakers — they have all the pans and everything I’d need.
So the Yankees won. Ugh. If they don’t quit winning, I’m going to start boycotting the World Series. It’s just disgusting. Blah blah blah.
Flute ensemble was great tonight. We are playing this three movement Irish piece that I love, and I lucked out and got put on first part, which is just gorgeous. I feel badly for one girl who can never seem to get anything right — she’s always missing notes, and today she got reprimanded for bringing the alto flute back with huge nasty fingerprints all over it. (I mean, like she had dipped her hands in butter, and then picked it up or something — not normal use.) I have to admit that our director is rather strict. But she is making us sound really good, and as sorry as I feel for the girl who constantly messes up, I’m glad I’m getting my part right.
