Latin Exam = LJ Spam

[lauzeta]

So my first exam yesterday went off acceptably, I think. I have no idea what the prof is looking for, so it's kind of hard to tell. At one point I was so bored that I was reduced to writing quotations from Julian of Norwich on my wrist, but I'm feeling kind of weepy these days, and I am fond of Julian because she's reassuring, so that's okay.

Huzzah for the viol. And it *is* a beautiful day. :-)
I'm in Koerner waiting for my exam - off to read Argonautika and hope for the best. Good luck with the studying!! :-)

PS: Thank you for the music! I can't open it until I get home. But in the meanwhile you should google 'Star Wars Gangsta Rap' and watch the flash video. It's... Well, it's very geeky in insane ways.

Yeah, I'm going to go out in it soon, I think.

GOOD LUCK! Many good vibes coming your way!

This music is terrifying! Holy cow!

I love that recording Yo-Yo Ma made of the Bartok concerto on the alto violin. I want one too!

There was an icon of Julian of Norwich on the wall at my school library. I was always intrigued by it because she was pictured with a cat and I didn't know why.

[lauzeta]

Oh, I know that one. I have no idea why she has a cat either.

I went to the website for a moment but I couldn't figure out why those instruments have that Salvador Dali thing going on. Do you know why?

[lauzeta]

Apparently it's an attempt to create better resonance without impeding one's ability to play (bigger shoulders = harder to shift).

Sexy.

And funky instruments.

[lauzeta]

Isn't it just? :D

Just for you!
