(no subject)
Okay, so it's been February for a couple of days now. And I am, indeed, alive, as you can see. Either that, or I can currently updating from the afterlife. But that's just impossible now, isn't it? Actually, there are other possibilities, like an imposter updating as myself, but that would require an elaborate story filled with other outrageous claims. Uh, yes.
This point of this update is to tell you that I have finished by extended essay which is on the connection between Richard Wagner and Hitler. Yay! IB was quite right when they said that it would take around fouty hours to complete. I've gone past fourty already, and I still have a few paragraphs to do. I'm at 3500 words, which means I still have 500 to work with, which is less than ideal, as I still have to comment of the nature of Wagner's nationalism and evaluate the reliability of my sources. Huh. But at least it won't take fouty hours. At this point, I have no will to read anything else about either Wagner nor Hitler. The bastards. Well, Wagner was pretty cool, I guess. If you ignore the fact that he was an egomaniacal, vain, and anti-Semitic guy who loved silk underwear and lavender bedsheets, that is. Plus, he was besties with Nietzsche for a while. But then Nietzsche realised it wasn't meant to be, and fled from the first Bayreuth festival. Even so, Nietszche was like, "I really did love him" before he died. Lol, that sounded totally slashy.
There is one good thing that has come out of this whole ordeal. I was never that fond of Wagner's music before, but I have now realised his genius. Granted, I still have not bothered with the actual singing in his operas, and have only listened to the overtures, but they are wonderful! "Die Meistersinger" is absolutely lovely. I looked for it on Youtube and found a video conducted by Furtwangler, whom I love. It turned out to be from a Nuremberg rally, though, which was kind of a shock. Still, Furtwangler was good. He was so awkwardly tall and skinny, though. When he got excited, it looked like he was going to topple over or something. That does not detract from his awesome awesomeness.
Well, that's that. I cannot believe I finished that essay in four sittings, but I did. Whoo! I can have free time now. Like real free time instead of periods during which I have nothing to do but feel guilty about not doing Extended Essay.
