darcydodoDeborah remembered the singing lesson this week, so I finally got to have a lesson for the first time since summer began. It's horrible, it's like I've forgotten how to do everything, except technically I do still know how. Just my body won't do it. And I'm picking up bad habits from choir again. Why, oh why, are blending and producing a proper tone incompatible?
Still wishing I could've had a lesson last week; it was on Talk Like A Pirate Day, so I would've brought my score of Pirates. (That's Pirates of Penzance, for you PotC-obsessed people.)

Dr. Stephen Maturin is one of the two main characters of Patrick O'Brian's immensely long series of totally wonderful Napoleonic naval novels, a brilliant, educated and somewhat unworldly ship's doctor and fervent amateur natural scientist, who, like your humble narrator, went to Trinity College, Dublin. So I have the accent right, as well as some of the habits of speech halfway there. John M. Ford, however, looks exactly like Stephen Maturin.

Would a closer look help ?
