May 30, 2008

Today is a very special day folks. 95 years ago today was the premiere of Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du printemps(The Rite of Spring).

These are very exciting days. These are also very sad days. I don’t think I’ve ever been so conflicted in my life. Icame to some very real realizations yesterday while talking to an amazingly wise mentor, teacher, and friend of mine.

Will you marry me?

May 7, 2008

Wanna know what I find so incredibly attractive? Genuinely friendly service. I went to Noodles today to get some noodles, go figure. And the guy who rang me up was so amazing.
