"Be amazed at his appearance, in the doorway still whole, and still breathing, and still not a part of my imagination anymore than he is a part of his own. Today, he's not gone yet. I'm not gone yet ( Read more... ) -
Macs
So there's a program I'm using called Sidenote, which attaches very nicely to the side of my screen and disappears and reappears exactly when I want it to so I can take notes and write silly essays without much worry about it being obvious that I'm not really working in bio lab.

I didn't really mean to end my journal at all, just like I didn't really intend to stop writing in my hard-copy journal at the appointed time of end-of-senior-year. I have everything to say today, but I feel too paranoid about how it all comes off, and who I'm playing to, and who I'm not playing for, to want to say anything at all, and this just ( Read more... ) -
Chopin Nocturnes

I am Desultory
Occasionally details slip in and out of memories: this happens to everyone. What is more interesting is when concepts and entire factions of memories slip in and out of existence ( Read more... ) -
Indecision, Beauty, Energy,
I was planning on waiting to make this post until at least May 1st because I know that I'm indecisive, but you see how well that's going for me ( Read more... ) -
Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique
Seeing, feeling, and eventually comminicating the beauty of a piece of music is an exercise in interpreting a composer's interpretation adn expression of emotion. General sadness or general ecstacy is not written about - it is not possible to be sad or ecstatic as a general manifest - they are always specific and contextual, tempered by complexity ( Read more... )
