– Douglas Adams on the harpsichord in the first movement of the fifth Brandenburg Concerto. I have never heard more wonderful Baroque music, nor have I read more wonderful words about it.

I am at the coffee shop on campus.
It’s mad overpriced in here, but they have free Wi-Fi and the best bagels in town.
I’m sitting upstairs now in the lounge with my hot chocolate and my bagel. And since I’ve been in here, they’ve played Springsteen’s “Born to Run,” Tom Petty’s “Break Down,” and now they’re playing Seger’s “Turn the Page.”

navagonnagiveyouup asked: Give me ten reasons to start watching Law & Order.
pocketfulofposey asked: Favorite Sam Waterson movie?
walkoffbalk asked: Name the instruments you a) can play well, b) can play not-so-well, and c) have ever played ever (that you can remember, anyway).

It’s 12:35 in the morning and I’m not sleepy.
Well, so much for that.

Frost/Nixon is better, but
Frank Langella only sounds like Nixon when he’s drunk or yelling, and it’s really distracting. It’s like listening to Nixon on a slo-mo cassette. That deep, authoritative voice worked better when he played Bill Paley.
