1) Zach, you bastard, you know I have no timepiece. Quit asking me the time.
2) All the phones going off in the movie tonight made me miss my phone.
3) Tonight we watched Match Point. It was okay... Scarlett Johanssen is gorgeous. The aria (?) that kept playing in the background made me think of the intro to Nothing Else Matters, and consequently, Malia, Sam, and Laura.
4) Tonight Zach and I also went to a FANTASTIC concert: Martin Chalifour, concert master of the LA Phil, and UCLA's own cello professor, Antonio Lysy, playing duets by Ravel, Glière, and Kodály. It was brilliant. And they were adorable, the way they interacted. Oh Canadians. (I also have a massive teacher-crush on Lysy...)
5) Thursdays suck because there is no built-in block of time for practising anymore, and lessons are on Friday.
6) Backtracking briefly, yesterday I woke up completely disoriented. I had no idea where I was, how I had come to be there, what time it was, or why I was suddenly so confused. It took me a moment to notice my alarm clock going off.
7) This morning there were no newspapers on the stand when I passed through Bruin Plaza. No Daily Bruin = no crossword = my inner Christ-figure screaming, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" I blame the dramatics on Easter Mass. Happily, I was able to obtain apaper crossword during break.
8) Taceting (yes, tacet is a verb. I checked) for at least half a piece, if not more, should not be exhausting... but it is. Really, the only reason there is a third bassoon part for Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra is the running line behind the second bassoon duet in the second movement. I don't understand why there is any contra at all, either -- it's ten bars, in octaves with the other bass instruments, anddoubling being covered up by the tuba, anyway. Gah. But he wrote it, so I'm playing it. Or trying to. Lately, I suck. A lot.
