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.

Um, yeah Heroes was great last night! And the whole time I was relating everyone to different X-Men.
Peter - Mimic, since he only needs to be in close proximity
Mr. Petrelli - Rogue, since he needs physical contact
Daphne - Quicksilver (platinum blonde hair anyone?)
African Precog - Gateway (who's actually an Aborigine)
and so on...
I know... it's so weird, isn't it? They didn't have a Claire or Sylar though... I mean, this whole season is about 'the cure' :P
I want super powers.
Well, Claire can sorta be Wolverine. But she doesn't have claws, heightened senses, or is all hairy. She is sorta getting that rough 'n gruff attitude though. Or even Deadpool. Since he has the same unlimited healing factor thing going on.
And Sylar... is unique.
I think Sylar is my favorite.
Anyways, you have terrible musical taste and you should feel bad! Nah, just kidding. But apparently Blogger didn't like my music post, since it got deleted...so much for wanting [musical] peace on Earth...
