Um
I've had a very bizarre weekend. Everything is going screwy. I'm very stressed out. That's about all I'm at liberty to say. Sorry for the vagueness.
I'm more than a little annoyed at the weather. I can't really be happy unless I get a really nice day once in a while. And the weather here has been pretty bad. It's unsettling, as May is usually about the nicest it gets, and for the entire month so far the temperatures have been pretty consistently about 10-15 degrees below average. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen the sun for about a week. It's depressing the hell out of me. My bad I guess, for being so stubbornly in love with nature.
So here I am discussing the weather on my blog. Gott in himmel. All right, what else? Oh yeah, I've been composing. I was writing a bunch of piano waltzes, as you may recall, but I got bored with that project (I feel that stylized dance forms have the serious potential to be inane and boring unless realized by capable hands) so I am putting it on hold for now. Now I'm working on another piano piece, one which will be very different, I think, from anything else I've written. I like it already.
I still don't really feel like a composer. I just went over to the mirror and said, "I am a composer." I couldn't do it with a straight face.
I've also been reading a lot of Walt Kelly's Pogo comics. That, at least, makes me feel good.
