The parts-of-sonata-form titles will die soon, don’t worry. I’m just milking ‘em while I can so that I don’t have to be creative enough to come up with an actual, quality, content type title.
Yesterday I’ve been hammering away at the background of my charming old WordPress template (aka the thingy which makes all this website look like it does) to stick a blog button at the top of the page, and make archive indexes appear on blog pages, but magically not on the other pages. It’s pretty nicely easy, surprisingly. PHP and WordPress are a joy to work with.
Musically: the last movement of the Tchaikovsky Pathetique got stuck in my head after last night – a sign that it’s growing into me in serious ways, setting roots down deep in there, somewhere. When I wake up in the morning and a melody fades into me as soon as the daylight does, I’m almost certain it’s going to be a favorite. I’m also starting to try and pick up the piano again, but from a classical point of view this time. There’s this book in the music library which is from the twenties and aimed at teaching older people. The language is fantastic, quite literally. Some sample snippets should appear up here when it gets retrieved from the lab.
