Bell-a-palooza and Hymn Sing edition

This week we were treated to newly alphabetized choir folders!

...completely disrupting my normal organization rule: last rehearsal's order, then performance order, then special-sectioned by whether I've ever thought we were singing it next week, but it turned out we weren't, and then the two lone songs I thought were still alphabetized but it turns out I mixed up whether song titles starting with "The" belonged with "T"s or with their second-word counterparts.

I suppose I will have to muddle through as best I can for the next few weeks...


In other news, it was a Monty Python-heavy night, with the Knights who say Ni and the Killer Joke skit, presented here conveniently captioned in an unspecified Slavic language. We are truly living in a glorious age for the internet. 


And I'm not sure whether to root for or against a children's book collection of Michael's childhood adventures... "A is for Alligator... and Amputation....". Yikesssssssss!!!
