Let me Be the Beatle in Your Mind

OK, I sound a little manic in yesterday's post. Feeling back to my blase self today.

Feeling a little ill still. Don't know what the deal is--could be a sinus infection, or maybe allergies. Who knows. I'm waiting on a new health provider card before I make an MD appointment.

Went to hear some great classical music the other night. I am not very knowledgeable about classical music, but I enjoy it. However, I am not usually a fan of modern composers. The quartet I saw changed my mind when they performed some Benjamin Brittain. It was dissonant, challenging to listen to, but very striking and somehow beautiful.

Funny, I often like dissonance in rock music. Why not in classical?

I managed to only nod off during the first piece, by Beethoven. I have an awful habit of falling asleep during quiet musical events. I did it once at a Robert Fripp concert. Always have the most amazing dreams when I do this, though, so it's worth potentially offending people I think.
