I attended the New Philharmonic performance Friday at the College of Dupage, our local community college. It was an interesting performance. The first piece was Sensemaya, an orchestral work written by the Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas. He took a poem, "Sensemaya," about killing a snake, ans set the poem to music. Actually quite good, although in 11/16 time it's tough to play. They also did two piano concertos, La Valse by Ravel and Rachmaninoff's 3rd.

Saturday, I did a pay-per-view screening of Michael Clayton. It's an interesting action / suspense movie, and well worth the viewing. I hear from the Internets that it probably won't pick up an Oscar (not artsy enough) which is a shame.

Lastly, I wrote.

I envy your productivity. I'm still not finished my rough draft as I planned to be today.

Thanks. To get to this level of productivity requires that I've got an outline, and have "thought through" the novel.
