Why do people put stuff like "kissing" and "sex" in their LJ interests? Aren't those pretty much a given? Does anyone *not* like sex? Or kissing? I don't get it...

Long day at work today, but things are going well. They seem open to change, which is good.

Finally, what he said. It'd be awesome to be able to hear live Bach organ music every day.

Tim Kreider:I am temporarily living in the apartment of my evil friend Ben Walker while I look for more permanent winter lodgings in New York, and I’ve learned that Grace Church on Broadway, a short walk from here, has free Bach concerts daily at noon. I’ve taken to going. Today I was sitting there in the quiet before the concert reading a novel when suddenly the shattering opening of the Toccata and Fugue in D minor played on the pipe organ, making me start in my pew. (You know it, I’m sure: it’s become clichéd through overuse in films and ads. It’s in Fantasia.)

What about personal ads where people say that they like to have fun?

Personally, I hate having fun.
