I have no idea what comparanda are, but I may have been able to noodle it out by context. I, too thought it was Spanish.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Also, neither my Spanish nor English dictionary recognizes comparanda.

Since OED didn't turn it up, I googled. Since most of the results are either pure latin or museum related, I'd assume it is one of those terms used heavily in a field, but nsm outside that field (like blazar in astro-also not in the OED.)

Yeah, in archaeology it's a VERY common word. Okay, I am the weirdo here, not her.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Perkins--that bag I ordered? Is very pink, and also way too large for me. So I'm going to send it back. It is, I should note, rather pink.
That sucks, Consuela, though actually it sounds about right for me, since I like pink and have a 17 inch laptop.
I got lucky though, and found the BEST EVAH travel bag at the Petaluma Wilson's leather outlet for a really good price (it has wheels, and a hideable rolling handle thingie). I love it, and have named it George.

I have now lazed around too much today and must get back to packing. Do I crack open a bottle of Sam Adams to assist?

Depends -- what other kinds of beer do you have?
