Sometimes spaghetti likes to be alone

1. Today I want to start with a poll to which there are no right answers; in fact, the only wrong answer might be thinking that there IS a right answer, but I've been curious as to what the results would be like, in response to a poll such as this. I wish there were a way for a broader sample of fans to answer it-- and also, it might be interesting ( Read more... )

writing is a product of anxiety, arthur stabs his salad, the tag for everything else

SUCH A MEAN POLL. I demand style AND substance from my stories! But I had to go with style in the end because even the most interesting and well-plotted story in the world will lose me pretty early on if it's badly written.

G,E,B. Luckily I like number theory just enough that I got through it without wanting to bang my head against too many hard surfaces. Rereading it now that I have Inception in my mind could be an interesting exercise!

I THOUGHT YOU WOULD GO WITH STYLE. :DDDDD

You are a hero fld;glkah;gla god I was not prepared for that amount of number theory, which, I don't know why I wasn't, I mean, it's not like THE TITLE OF THE BOOK BEGINS WITH "GODEL". All the chapters and sections that are related to recursion made me so happy...!

I will admit to a certain amount of smugness when I actually FINISHED the thing, although I'm sure I didn't grasp it quite as well as the physicist friend who lent me the book in the first place. The recursion was great! As was everything to do with muuuuusic; it made me appreciate Bach a lot more, when previously I had felt slightly sullen towards him for his idea of a good soprano line. Although he's still better than Beethoven. I think Beethoven had a bad formative experience with a soprano and HATED THEM ALL.

Bach appears to be the darling of every writer whose roots lie in science or math... which, I suppose, is pretty self-explanatory. fld;galghkla I hadn't even thought about it from a voice perspective! Are Beethoven's soprano lines, like, IMPOSSIBLE

Yeah, Beethoven requires STAMINA and the willingness to maybe not be able to talk very well the day after the concert, whereas Bach just requires concentration.

Mozart and Handel are my personal darlings <3
