Movies & things  
Movies:
18. Lady Jane (1986)
19. Bride & Prejudice (2004): eh.

Because I only take French to get to the upper division classes eventually and to use it for future musical/literary studies, and because I don't do much of the work anyway (but still do just fine), I'm switching it to Pass/No Pass. This gives me a lot of room to spend more time working on my music stuff, which currently needs more work than I'm putting in. It will allow me to miss French more often to practice Musicianship exercises before class.

I'm taking 23 units. I'm allowed to switch a class that I don't really need to be taking to P/NP, right? Right.

I began writing what would have been the longest Livejournal post I've ever written, in an attempt to explain everything that is happening in my life. This would mostly be for my benefit. And I will probably do it soon. But I couldn't finish it yet.

I haven't been keeping good track, but movies:

15. Molière (2007)
16. Fauteuils d'orchestre (2006)
17. Les deux anglaises et le continent (1971)

More movies  
12. Love on the Run (1979)
13. La nuit américaine (1973)
14. The Prestige (2006)

Bought an umbrella and a parka. Now I am hyper-prepared. Borrowed $1000 worth of viola bows from Ifshin for the week. Now I have to decide which one I want to buy.

Prof. Moroney offered to be my Major Advisor. This is good news.

I'm quickly broke again. This is bad news. Now to homework--

"So my question is, Bach liked to get down, so to speak?"  
I've no idea who in my Bach class asked this question. The rest of it was even funnier, in context--although I did feel a little bad laughing.

I think I've been listening to new music, but all I can remember is

9. LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver: I'm sorry for not listening to this sooner, I suppose. But it's not really my thing. The genre, I mean. Different strokes? I do like it, don't get me wrong. But this isn't what I listen to when I'm alone in my apartment.

and for movies, given my somewhat insane schedule (I am taking Music 405 as well) I can only add

11. Bed and Board (1970): Probably my least favorite Antoine Doinel film. But I haven't seen Love on the Run. That's tomorrow night.

Classes, for those interested )
