I am looking forward to Monday.

Of all days, Monday. Why? Sam Waterston and Anthony Anderson are going to be on the Today Show. Two hours of Law & Order from 9pm to 11pm. That’s it. That’s all Monday has going for it. And I can’t wait.

No, because Rules 1, 3, 5, and 7 of the faculty of the philosophy department at the University of Woolloomooloo clearly state “no pooftahs.” The iPod touch is a pooftah, which Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, and Bruce would not approve of, and Raymond Luxury Yacht (pronounced Throat Wobbler Mangrove) went camping with his plastic surgeon once. THIS ALL MAKES SENSE IN MY CRACK-ADDLED BRAIN OKAY ...

@walkoffbalk: That is because you go to a “school” and I go to a “university.” Also, COVER FLOW IS AWESOME ON THE TOUCH. Well, I liked playing with it on my Classic, too, but ooooooooo shiiiiiiiiny. I’m keeping my Classic, not that anyone cares, because I can play Phase on my Classic. I will not rest until I beat it on Expert.

I'M POSTING THIS FROM MY NEW iPOD

BITCHESSSSSSSSS. I decided on the touch because I like toys. No, no. Well, only sort of. My university’s whole campus is wireless and it’s just convenient to be able to access certain information anywhere. (Typing this bit from the computer: only things I don’t like are that it was an asshole about letting me put music on it — I guess iTunes didn’t like that I was using my...

Okay, I need to stop

Going through my other music portfolio, I found nearly every program for all the concerts I’ve played in dating back to high school. This is partly because I am out of my mind and partly because the portfolio is from 2005 and most of my programs were from high school. The one I don’t have is the one I wish I had, of course. Spring 2006 chamber ensemble concert. I played alto clarinet...

I should not have opened my clarinet bag

Pandora’s Bag? I pulled my electronic metronome out because the battery is dead, and opened it to see what kind of battery it takes. It’s a 9V, which we have none of, and also, I suck at trying to change those. And now I can’t get the back cover on. I suck. Not that it matters. I’m a technophile and love gadgets, but aside from at school, I’ve always used my...

Okay, I don't know if this is good or bad or just...

but I went into my clarinet bag to grab my copy of the Copland to look up a passage when I wrote that last post. I opened the zipper pocket first, forgetting I’d moved my portfolio into the other pocket, and was hit by a most interesting and unique smell. I wish you could send odors over the Internet. It smells like cork grease and a musty library. I wonder if I can find a candle that smells...

Pentagon to lift ban on women in submarines →

(via brighteryellow) Approve. I’ve spent a few summers working at a shipyard (a job I whine about a lot but that, frankly, I love). Women build these things and should be permitted to serve on them as well. Also, I think it’s hilarious that the same military that practices don’t-ask-don’t-tell objects to women on subs for reasons like cramped quarters and hot bunking, but...

I've had three posts get reasonably far around...

One was Arcadi Volodos’s recording of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, which is my favorite piano recording and also among my favorite classical recordings, period. I was very pleased to see that a lot of other people liked it as well. The second was “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” as done by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. That got on Tumblr Radar and I got complimented for...
