I, Maura, aka mlaffs on twitter, “so white I glow,” do hearby declare my intent:
Firstly, that classical music is awesome. In fact, it’s so great that we should all take Alex Ross’ suggestion and start calling it “Awesome Music.” After all, “classical” is an arbitrary label, has negative connotations, and isn’t very sexy.
Second, that my friends are the best. I was shocked and flattered by the overwhelmingly positive response when I suggested that I might want to start a blog. I can’t believe that people actually want to hear what I have to say! I’m just a mousy little second-year employee at a regional orchestra that likes to whine.
Third, that strawberries are the best snack ever. I am going to start buying them more frequently. Actually, I’m going to start eating more fruits & veggies in general. I am so much more focused and energetic this afternoon than usual. Love it.
Fourth, that San Francisco has too many things going on. There’s no way I can make it to everything that I want to see, or that my friends invite me to. Midnight showing of Spinal Tap? Can’t do that between opera and plays and everything. If sleep is for the weak, I accept the label **hangs head**
And finally, that I should probably get back to work. So should you.

“I’m just a mousy little second-year employee at a regional orchestra that likes to whine.”
Are you saying that the NCCO likes to whine?
