am grinning like a loon. my face is telling me it wants to stop smiling but i can't quite seem to. i'm even listening to haydn and smiling at the wonderful simplicity of the bass parts and the interplay of the orchestra's textures. this, for a composer who normally irritates me because his bass lines are rather boring when compared to other more testosterone-laden composers. think stravinsky. think shostakovich.

so life is good. today i went to talk to naya again. we did a trade thing - her copy of rumi in english translation for my copy of the collected fictions of jorge luis borges (to whom, incidentally, the diaryring i recently joined of sigyn's is dedicated). later, i had orchestra off by a miracle, and al lent me her cor anglais, and so i also showed that to naya. she's such a neat person. when i grow up i want to be like her. (which means that upon reaching the age of majority, I will fragment into about fifteen discrete personalities. I'm all right with that if you are.)

ooh, lots of cadences, and... we're in the development.

also, what amy described to me earlier has begun to happen. i need only think of him, and like certain teachers and personnel managers i know, he will appear. see: appearance right after latin (understandable since he has a class in the same room right after we get out), appearance in the library during third period (printing out a paper), appearance in lower campus second period, time spent in library (about an hour) after school on Wednesday in one of the glass-doored seminar rooms.

All right, Bill, maybe it is mega. What of it? (I can hear Al in my head, who listened to this today, shook her head, and said "Poor Jay.")

i'm going to go finish writing my text; i may be back later tonight, but i wouldn't count on it. (because of the nature of livejournal, "j by teaspoons" is getting decidedly longer, and may soon even outstrip this site in terms of content length. however. i like to think that the distinction is now one of how graphic i get. not that i get terribly graphic on the other site.)
