Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini
Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity. His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more >>

Didn't we already settle the batman thing?

But did you notice the study that batmen do not get the corona disease? So it can only whup your arse...

I had the COVID, you weak-kneed little ballerina!  I was in bed for a week with fever, dry cough, and general malaise.  It might have been a rhinovirus or another coronavirus, but I'm immune!  Well, maybe. 

I had some cool feverish hallucinations, though, so that was...sort of neat,..in a not really neat way.

Also, as a point of fact, p_p, I'm not too sure gerbils do a whole lot of thinking over the course of their lives. Otherwie why would they insist upon spending their time up my ass, and also like their older cousins, the guinea pigs, being so delicious? 

Yeah, riddle me that.

I am far from done with whupping batman's ass.

So why post a picture of them? Spiders are boring. They're ugly and revolting and they leave a mess everywhere with their bloody webs. And I swear, if I ever see another large spider sitting above the toilet bowl when I'm relieving my bowels...

I will burn the mother-*** house down and declare war against them. I already have a flame-thrower, ready to use.

All right.  You and outin just made my list.

That's right you crazy fools.

And, yes, outin, it's supposed to be a joke, the video.  The organist and keyboard player Larry Goldings put on that verkakte wig and did those videos as a spoof.  IOW it's a joke, man.  He's a pretty good jazz organist.  Not one of my idols or anything, but he's OK as a player, and a pretty nice guy IIRC from when he was up at Augie's near Columbia on the upper West side, playing that old Korg CX-3.  I might be mistaken, but I make a lot of mistakes.

And, yes, if I could figure out a way to arrange the second aria of the queen of the night from Mozart, I'd probably prefer to play that too.

The only way I can think of that is to cover the harmony and rhythm on acoustic piano with LH, and liberal amounts of sost. pedal, and do the vocals in RH on the Hammond organ.

what? 

Who doesn't like Mozart?

OMFG.

I mean, yeah, he wasn't always the best, but really?

I'd never even heard of anybody who didn't enjoy listening to or playing at least some of Mozart.

All right, buddy.  Now you're on my new revised list!

And I am serious. I just don't get how anyone would voluntarily listen to his music...Classisism is generally boring, but Mozart's is annoying as h*ll. In fact my h*ll would probably be filled with that stuff.
But then again, it seems there's something wrong with 99,9999999% of mankind...so I guess there's nothing to wonder really...

Well, de gustibus, to each his or her own.

For me, I love his mature opera and many of his piano concerti.  I could do without many of his piano sonatas, but to each his or her own. 

And you're probably right:  he would have been a fun guy to hoist a beer with in Wien.  I don't know very much about his personal life, though.

Well, since you asked.

I must start eating better.  I've had exactly three movements of the lower bowel in the past ten days.

It is not good. 

I think the obstruction started when I had the brilliant idea to start drinking White Russians instead of my usual bourbon and beer.

I think I might be retarded or something.

TBH, yes, I think the average secretions by the endocrine and renal and general digestion system in humans is about two or more liters quod diem.  It's a surprising amount, but humans are surprising creatures.

When I look at what people eat these days I am not surprised they have time to meet MANY spiders during their sessions.

Back to music, did I mention I hate opera too? Singing is fun, I admit it, but I can barely name one classical singer I can bare to listen to...

Who doesn't study Wagner or Berg? 

I mean, it comes down to personal taste, I guess.  I don't spend my time listening to Richard Strauss, but, well, whatever I guess.

And, yes, I'm a pretty good cook and I know all about macronutrients, but I'm also a bachelor and extremely lazy.

I guess you are right. I simply do not care for people. They are at best ok and useful as some sort of entertainment or work force but at their worst annoying and a nuisance.

I live alone too, hate cooking and am incredibly lazy..but it only takes a few things:
- Avoid red meat (and why not, it does not even taste good)
- Avoid white flour...it just kills your bowel. Unfortunately this does mean most delicious bakery stuff should be limited from daily use...as well as pizza :( On the other hand white bread is tasteless compared to what we finns are used to eating :)

- Instead of white rice, pasta or whatever use whole grain. Once used to it the white ones seem like nothing to eat.
- Try to add some real vegetables to the food every now and then.
- Chili and good coffee never hurt, but coffee must be dark roasted if you are prone to heart burn :)

ZOMG.

I think you people are going to give me a coronary.

Yeah, I know my uncle hasn't left his apartment in a month or more, so kept some dispoable medical masks from work.

I tell him once, "Hose rules, just don't touch the toilet -- it's filthy and you're just going to spred your nasty gastric sh*t around my apartment.  At the very least wash your hands, you digusting animal"

Second or third time, his retoirt?  "Well, it's just habit."  Well, time for some ne habits.  This is my place, and I don't ask much:  don't break my equipment, and use the toilet like I said.  Or go outside, for all I carel

And what a surprise when I left the place to drop him off.  Hundreds of cigarette butts just strewn all over my carpet.

Yeah, I'm not Joe Clean, but at least I clean up after myself, especially at somebody else's place.

And some great effing piano player...."Mumble mumble, I just play in C."  Well effing try harder, nerd.  A.  Ab.  Db.

I won't say I hate all people, but pretty damned close. 
My name is Nellie, and I take pride in helping protect the children of my community through active leadership roles in my local church and in the Boy Scouts of America.  Bad word make me sad.
