Some boz boz tried to sell me clarky cat! And to think in the 90s they used to pretend not to know what it was, as well as denying the existence of triple-sod and yellow bentines.

This morning I saw someone on the tram reading 50 Shades Darker. I hope she's getting payed to read that and isn't just reading it for her own enjoyment. If you know what I mean.
Apparently its the worst series of all time. I could not imagine that anything could be worse than the Hunger Games but according to reviews I have read, 50 Shades of Grey must be worse.

I would say read Harmonielehre first anyway, the Persichetti gets complicated so you will need to fully grasp what Schoenberg writes. Structural functions... is a bit of a different topic so read it last!

Uh-oh. Wife is mad. Don't know why.
She's watching Notting Hill with the sound off. We've never done this before.
Update: She fell asleep. I believe I'm off the hook for at least seven hours.
Must be very, very quiet. (Hunting wabbits.)

a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about
I normally hate Wednesdays but today was a good day for me. This afternoon I forgot to bring home some homework to finish off for tomorrow and my parents killed me. I went to see an Australian premiere of two operas in a double bill: Master Peter's Puppet Show by Manuel de Falla and What Next? by Elliott Carter. Both operas were magnificent! I sat next to a funny 75 year old man who at first thought I was a university student, after talking to him for a bit I found out that his granddaughter goes to my school and he spends all his money going to operas and ballets. He used to play the piano and brass. We talked a fair bit about the pros and cons of Victorian Opera and Opera Australia for a while and about some of the operas we were interested in (he seemed quite passionate about Berg's Lulu among the operas by Mozart and Wagner). After the performance I asked him what he thought, from memory I think his works were "The music in Master Peter's Puppet Show was fantastic but the opera by Carter was unadulterated crap!"He went on to explain that he knew it was well written and amazingly performed but didn't enjoy listening to it. He was a really nice guy.
I got home and found out that from several text messages that my friends had sent that I had won $300 for my schools' composition competition and I'm going to play it at the Melbourne Recital Centre in a few weeks (have to learn it ASAP!!!!!). The first year I entered the piece was too difficult, the second year I forgot to enter, so third time lucky!

More CDs (Schoenberg's string quartets, Bartok's Mikrokosmos, Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, and The Ligeti Project) and another book (Composing Music by William Russo). Including a couple CDs of dubstep I haven't gotten around to ripping yet, I have 19 CDs to rip to my computer. Good thing it's my night off.

Congratulations on the contest CoAG!! That's awesome. And it sounds like you had a really nice conversation with that elderly guy at the opera, it's fun to have random interactions like that.

I must admit I've never listened to it.

Wait! Don't listen to it yet!I must admit I've never listened to it.
First, read '1001 Nights'. Well, at least a dozen or so of them, including Sinbad's. The music is programmatic, you need background.
We have nothing to fear
but hearing loss.
