I have just spent the last 45 minutes or so driving back and forth to Manny's work. He left his notebook in the car after we had lunch, and only noticed when I was already ALMOST HOME. The things I do for love! He totally owes me.
I made an important discovery for science this morning, which I chronicled on Ten:Ten. The poco allegretto movement of Brahms' Symphony #3 in F-minor is the same tune as the second track on Santana's Supernatural album, you know, the one sung by Dave Matthews? I keep going back and forth between them in amazement. I don't truly know why this blows me away so much but by golly I take my thrills where I can, now that I'm too old for recreational drugs, and Celebrity Mole went off the air.
As for hair-related blogging, I am wearing pigtails again today, and I have decided that it will be my summer hairstyle. Let it be known! Pigtails! For summer! Have you all decided on your summer 'do? Because time's a wasting, people.
And a final thought on politics. Doesn't it seem like disaffected Republicans always turn into Libertarians, while disaffected Democrats turn into Greens? And if you compare Libertarians and Greens, they have some odd things in common, even if they place responsibility in slightly different places in the individual. Like Libertarians figure that government should stay out of individual lives, whereas Greens figure that individuals should be kept from selfishness by regulation. And even though those two things might seem wildly incompatible in terms of what pieces of legislation are created, they are strangely similar in their stance toward status quo government.

Bees! For spring! I am inspired! I will recreate a field in bloom on my head, complete with insects and pollen!

BINGO on the Brahms/Dave/Carlos connection. I bow down to you, Generallisima.
(Can I do that? Feminize Generallisimo? Would we WANT to do that?)

You can simply address me with any form of the words "Elegant" and "Flower."

Oh good, someone else caught the Brahms connection. My employees had no idea what I was talking about when I was ranting, "Jesus! Can't anyone write anything original anymore? Now the mushmouthed little twit has to sing to a Brahms tune and not give it credit?! AAAAAAARGH!" But then how many of us who know our classical also listen to pop schlock? Only those of us with uncultured staff.

Billy Joel's "This Night" is a Beethoven sonata.

Yes, my staff is quite uncultured.
