Thoughts for the day

[brigdh]

Man, I am way too tired, considering that it's only 8 and I haven't done much today. Maybe I should take a nap or something. I have so much stuff to do- a paper to write, and reading to do, approximately five million emails to respond to, a 31_days prompt I've been meaning to do a story for since the 26th- but I never seem to actually do any of it.

I have, however, been making my way through all the classical music I can find, in an effort to put together a playlist for fst. This is incredibly unusual for me; I've never listened to classical music. I'm amused by the strangeness of my last.fm page at the moment; all those indie and trip-hop songs next to Mozart. Though, I can't help but wonder what my roommate thinks. I don't know for sure, since she doesn't seem to feel the need to speak to me or open her door, or generally interact with me at all. Hopefully she hasn't, I don't know, died or something.

esrafil is coming to visit me over the weekend though (or, more truthfully, to visit the city)! I am excited for that; she's the first person to come see me.

I'm really excited too! And hey, I wouldn't be coming to the city if it weren't for you, so it's a good combination. :D

Hee. I'll have to use my advantage of being here to coax everyone into visiting me. Dude! I'll be like one of those 1800s French noblewoman and hold a saloon, with cool people constantly coming and going and having interesting discussions while they're here. It'll be awesome.

Now all I need is enormous hereditary wealth, and I'll be set!

Out of curiosity, have you found any composers or periods you particularly like? Or are you still basically window shopping?

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Mostly still window shopping. I've put together most of the soundtrack already, if just by trying to make associations between the way the music sounds and certain scenes or lines, but I haven't noticed any commanalities in the music I prefer and the ones I delete.

I have noticed, though, that classical music strikes me as so much more abstract than what I normally listen to. It's much harder to hold the music in my head if I'm not currently listening to it.
