We had a good time at the Holiday Train this evening. Can't complain about a free Barenaked Ladies performance.

I'm having a lovely cuddle with Molly. She's having a nice little nap. Suddenly she bolts awake and gives me this huge stink-eyed glare. I didn't quite manage to get the full-on anger, but she was still mid-glare as I got my phone out. Shortly after, she had her face buried into my leg again.

A tale (tail?) of 2 cats on their trip to the vet. Molly The Bold immediately explores, while Arthur The Cautious hides in the pet carrier.

Molly cuddles are the best way to spend a Sunday. I love how she smooshes her face into my leg.
...she also has the pokey bits of the murder mittens ready to sink into my calf if I dare move. 😜

Working on a demo of my 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑎 𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑠 𝑝𝑟𝑜 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑢𝑖𝑠 with the Hollywood Choirs plugin. It's a learning experience that has greatly increased my appreciation of real live human performers. But hey, it sounds better than the synth choir AH sound, so there's that. Enjoy a sample of the Agnus dei movement!

Well, it was a lot of driving going down to Richmond to see the movie in IMAX and then coming home again, but we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed #Superman!

The piece is basically finished. Just need to do all the nit picky fiddling with making the score look just right, and probably obsess over a dynamic marking or two (hundred) along the way. Huzzah!
