Well, I suppose this is goodnight
Just got back from an evening spent wandering Princess with George and browsing the net at Shilpas, and on top of that, almost finished reading my chem notes for the term. A quick bit of review tomorrow and Monday, and it should be fine. Now there's only CISC of the evil courses to catch up on.
Anyway, the evening was a stupid pleasant one, and I was going to sleep, but instead I check my e-mail and find a threat from the person mentioned last e-mail. Still feel very sorry for her, but she's definitely not well herself, and invading my friends' lives a bit. Strangeness.
So, decided to write here a bit. The whole journal thing is quite new to me, and I haven't told anybody where this site is yet. In fact, I think that only Shilpa, George and Aaron even know it exists, and they probably already know much of what I've written. Of course, I expect that within not too long, people like Tim, Diya and Mel (from my old high school, UTS) will be reading this and scratching their heads, as will my other housemates and some friends here at Queens.
I hope to get up tomorrow a bit earlier than I did today and maybe get something done, although a 4 AM bedtime doesn't bode too well. I definitely owe Ev a card for whenever she comes back from her Grandfather's, so that's on the list, as is studying, and thanking Aaron for getting me to make this. Depending on how things work out, maybe a meeting with Emily, although I'm nervous. And beyond that, the obviousness of studying.
Beyond that, I think I might have convinced Ev to have a practice tomorrow. I've been semi-obsessed on and off with a piece for cello and piano by beethoven called "Seven variations from a theme from Mozart's the Magic Flute", and found it and some other duets in the Queens music library a few weeks ago, so we're hopefully learning it together. It's fairly difficult, and my celloing is a bit rusty, but it seems like a worthwhile piece to figure out (or learn bits of - I'm still scared of the 64'th notes that litter a few variations). Anyways, if you can find it, check it out, especially the coda. A fun piece.
Beyond that, no life-shattering thoughts today. The urgings to think deep thoughts I've received over the last little while have really scared me away from metaphysics and religion, traditional "big-thought" areas, towards thinking about friends (and people I wish I had been a better friend for). Some of this will probably make boring reading on the site, other bits will still be private. But while thinking about this, I feel ridiculous thinking about the Talmud, Jesus, or how brains work at the same time. So if you know about my periodic obsession with what Judaism really says, making sense of Christianity, or reading the interesting little pieces of philosophy that people like Hoffstadter seem to throw off, it might be a little while before I write about them. Not in the mood at the moment...
On an unrelated side note... the default format on these live journals is really nice! I might change it at some point if I get bored over the summer, but whoever came up with the scheme really did have skill. It's pretty but doesn't really steal your attention. And it being sparse doesn't seem to be much of a problem.
Well, that's it for tonight. At this rate, my 2 megs of storage space won't last too long.
