Me too! Me too!

Shostakovich, Adam Sandler, etc.

Hello my friends. I have not updated in a while, mostly because of Richard Strauss. He's a douchebag. I just have a few little points.

1.) I went to see the CSO play Beethoven 6 and Shostakovich 5, and afterwards I decided that Shostakovich 5 is probably one of my favorite pieces ever. HOWEVER, Shostakovich is still not one of my favorite composers, because I really only like Shostakovich 5 because it sounds like Mahler, so it really doesn't qualify me as a Shostakovich fan. It is similar to how liking Adam Sandler in Punch Drunk Love, but not liking any of his other movies, makes you not exactly an Adam Sandler fan. And just to be thorough, let me say that I like Adam Sandler very much in a number of his movies, most notably Punch Drunk Love, The Wedding Singer, and Billy Madison. I do like some Shostakovich pieces in addition to the fifth symphony, but on the whole, I think he is overrated. As for Beethoven, he is, as always, one of my many BF'sF.

2.) Massive thunderstorms on Monday night broke our satellite, and it won't be fixed until next Wednesday. The resulting grief and depression has revealed how pathetically addicted to TV I am. Thankfully, Project Runway had its reunion show this week, so I did not miss anything crucial, and I was able to dig out some rabbit ears to watch Lost and the Office.

3.) I am too lazy to not write in run-on sentences today, although I think that technically, my liberal use of commas makes them grammatically acceptable.

4.) Coca-cola Zero is swell.

5.) And finally, at last, I think I have reached terminal nerd-osity, because I checked out "The Silmarillion" by J.R.R. Tolkien from the library, but I could not even get past page two. Finally, something TOO geeky for me!

Toodles!
