Adil is Silly

Baroque Classical Music, Roger Fry, and Henri Focillon

I am currently enjoying some Baroque Classical music a la Pandora.  I haven't really listened to much classical music in a while.  Baroque was always some of my favorite - the passion is explosive!  I used to fall asleep to music like this in my Pre-Derek age.  Some find it a bit too fiery to fall asleep to, but for some reason it just melts my worries and relaxes me.  Also, the pure abstraction that exists in just melody alone is very freeing... I love rock music and various other kinds, but this is different - and in that difference it is fantastic.

I would like to fall asleep to music like this again, but I doubt Derek would like that much.

But, as for the title... I have been listening to this music while reading my Art Theory... it really helps in blocking out the noises of my apartment (mostly the incredibly loud brothel in business above me) while at the same time relaxing and focusing me.  It's lovely.  My Art Theory selection for tonight was Roger Fry's Vision and Design, 1920, Henri Focillon's The Life of Forms in Art, 1934 and a study of Alfred H. Barr's 'The Development of Abstract Art', 1936 (A chart that shows the development of styles during this time of modernism).

I just feel good ^^

Also, tonight's episode of Heroes was incredible, like it always is!  I just can't wait for next week.

My favorite song I heard on Pandora tonight was Busoni's Toccatas (I believe that is what it is called).  I just love that song.

Vice Presidential Debate

So... I just watched the Vice Presidential Debate.  I'm pretty politically apathetic - I'm slightly liberal, and usually identify with the Democrats.  But... what the fuck?  I can't even start to take Palin seriously.  She is an insult to all those with a vagina (who take said organ seriously).  And the incessant winking!  Anyone who even slightly sees her as an alternative to Hillary Clinton is an idiot - plain and simple.  She refuses to use specifics in her arguments, and just uses buzz words constantly.  She's like a walking, talking marketing device.  She was also too much of a pussy to mention her ACTUAL feelings on civil rights for homosexuals.  I'm just hurt as a woman right now...
