Il Voce

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Il Voce. If you haven't heard of them, they're a Vancouver-based singing group of the popera (classical-crossover) genre.

[Edit: Il Voce closed down their Youtube account, so the video is gone as well]

They blended very nicely and sang very well, and it was a great end to a not-so-good week. Their voices blended beautifully, and I was most impressed by their ability to sing in minor keys and their ability to resolve as a group. It was very refreshing to see a group of singers who could stand on their talent alone and not use all the flares we have grown accustomed to in this age of "music".

Happy Valentine's Day!

Because I'm a cruel person :D

Don't Lab and Midterm?

There's the expression "don't drink and drive." There should  be some kind of catchy mnemonic for not taking a midterm while doing labwork, because that doesn't end well for either of them...

Manic Monday - Bangles

Classic-describes Monday pretty well

I was going to post it yesterday, but...

Death by Caffeine

Here's a pretty nifty site. You basically input a caffeinated beverage and your weight and it calculates how many drinks you would have drink at once for the caffeine to kill you. Don't try to input anything like Four Loko, as the site won't list alcoholic beverages.
