I Dress My Husband

Saturday, October 22nd, 2011

Before my husband met me, I feel like he could have cared less about fashion for men. I know that he is really not the type of guy to be planning his next outfit, but I know that he is certainly someone who can really enjoy looking good and putting on the clothes that I suggest for him. I truly love him a lot, and I feel like I am the one who should make suggestions more often, because he is really receptive to them, and he looks good when he takes them and put it to good use. He has even told me that he has gotten compliments from all the girls at work. I am so glad to be able to have someone who will listen to me about these things. I often do not care too much about what he wears at home, but I feel like choosing outfits for him for work and for when we go out together.

Epic Desk Fail

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

I had such an epic fail today when I was at the store shopping for a new desk for my computer. My girlfriend did not want to go shopping for a new desk but I insisted because I really needed something to write on. I am a writer and the desk is one of my most important tools even though you might not think that at 1st. Anyways, I told my girlfriend that it would be a very simple and easy task. She said that if it was not simple I wrote her a dinner. We went to the store and it turned out to be very difficult. There were no desks that I liked and there was nothing there at all that I could even think about buying. I was at a desk store and I was very surprised that they had so few options that appealed to me.

Strength in the Bassoon

Monday, September 26th, 2011

The strength of the bassoon lies in its mid-register. This is defined as the notes that are contained in the pitches of the bass clef. Although the bassoon is capable of playing to Bb below the staff and at least to g above Middle C, the heart of the sonority of the instrument lies within the confines of the bass clef. For the composer interested in composing Sheet Music For Bassoon, it is best to remain in the mid-range if composing specifically for the beginner or intermediate bassoonist. Like all instruments, the bassoon has its most characteristic sonority in the middle register. When bassoon notes below the bass clef are sounded, they tend towards a raspy quality with a significant edge to the sound. When notes above the staff are used, the bassoon has a more lyrical and smooth quality. Another reason the upper notes are best not used too frequently for the beginner revolves around intonation issues. The instrument presents significant tuning problems above the staff.
