Dontcha know there ain’t no devil - that’s just God when he’s drunk.
-Tom Waits, “Heartattack and Vine”
I’ve figured it out: the world is going to end in December 2012 because for the first time in twelve years, people won’t be able to use coincidental dates as topics of conversation. Society collapses, the Twelve Tribes come down from the hills and become God’s chosen people, yadda yadda yadda.
Nobel Prize, plz.
Oh my god, Bach.
I just got back from the Ithaca College orchestra and choir performance of Bach’s Mass in B-minor. My mind is baroquen and I loved every minute of the two-and-a-half hours I just devoted to that glorious German man.
Sorry, just had a minor music geek-out.

They covered themselves with their hands and turned their backs and so on, and made themselves utterly beautiful.”
