Having A Day

Housing deposit paid and lottery card filled out. I'll get my lottery number on Friday, and the lottery itself is next week. I better get a motherfucking room.

Slept through class again today. I should go talk to professors tomorrow. Today is kind of a lazy day in that I'm not really going out and doing things, but I am doing my work, mostly, which doesn't really require going out. Though for some of it I did go out to the front lawn to do, because it's a nice day.

The Res. Life people were in my house a little while ago. Though I wanted to, I did not go and kick them. Or even yell, "kiss my ass, motherfuckers!" I don't think they even noticed me, even with my door open.

And I'll end with a quotation from the reading I did to prepare for the class I slept through today:

"The other arts persuade, but music invades us. We experience this, its unique power over the spirit, at its most powerful, wehn we are severely agitated or depressed. When we are in a state where neither paintings nor poems, statues nor buildings are any longer able to arouse our interest, music still will have power over us, indeed precisely in this circumstance more intensely than otherwise. ... No longer are we aware of the piece, but only of the sounds themselves, the music as amorphous demonic power, as it acts upon the nerves of our whole body." -Eduard Hanslick, On the Musically Beautiful

Mmm, Chocolate

If life is a box of chocolates, mine is full of the ones with nuts in them. And anyone who knows me well knows that I hate nuts. They don't belong in food. But they're still chocolate... I suppose it's possible to just suck the chocolate part off and then spit out the nuts. The problem is, I get tired of doing that, and want a new box. But then I see that this is not possible, so it's back to sucking.
