Hello!
Blogging is rather a strange concept. I am never quite sure what to say to an empty page, when there isn't a direct reason for my writing. I suppose this could account for my not posting for almost a month.
Over break I have been listening to more classical music, partially influenced by Mr. Choo who lives in a blog roughly over there-ish. My three favorite composers are probably Rachmaninoff, Elgar and Chopin so far, and at least the first two if not the second seem very accessible. Of course, I could just be biased towards how much I like them, but it also seems to be the result of Romanticism Correct me if I am wrong, (and I probably am) but the sheer expressiveness of the Romantic era seems very easy emotionally to tap into. It's one of things I wonder about with music, what are the virtues of accessibility in music?
Reading a biography by Beethoven, I am surprised at how long it took him to be recognized!
Calender page for the day: "1961. The Detroit Tiger's home field was officially named Tiger Stadium. However, the team no longer play at this legendary park, where baseball was played for more than 100 year. The Tiger moved to their new, modern Comerica Park Stadium after the 1999 Season."
And as of this writing it is "13 days 23 hr 24 min 3 sec" till Spring Training. Lester or Buchholz? That's the question, folks.

Rain at Target!
Rain must be one of the first requirements of movie moments.
Followed by getting caught in rain storms wearing impractical crocheted ballet flats.Of course the store directly in front is a locked up Payless Shoe Store. Of course. It's a clever reference linking your impractical shoes to the movie!
The first two are no good at all however, unless you happen to be running into Target before it closes at ten o'clock at night.
The rain can cause a standing pool inside your shoes, while every speck of rain is illuminated by the street lights. And when you look down you can see all the impressionistic remains of the Target Red in the small oceans at your feet.
Don't worry though, you aren't the lead in this movie, just an extra. No lead character would have nearly as frizzy hair as I did in that moment tonight! But then again, real people usally wear hoods in the rain.
