apparently the church choir in which I'm involved gets the honour to be on duty for Easter vigil mass this year. of course it doesn't come without a price. weekly long practices are already scheduled. planning to skip some of them, though.. ;)

installed live messenger beta yesterday. it doesn't seem to have that much difference with the normal messenger. a change of name, ability to customize skin colour, space for file transfer, that's about it. and I encountered errors quite a number of times, when opening a chat window, when closing the live messenger, etc. forget it, I'm switching back to the normal version.
