well ive been playing bach and scales because my friend recommended it, and then i fell off a basketball ring and injured my ankle and then a week later someone side swiped my car - so i couldn't drive it for a while and hence now on a lot of painkillers, but its probably my own fault for playing bach and scales. my god they are so boring, dull, lifeless, bland, lackluster, dreary, zzzz, tiresome, wearisome - a chore to play. how can anyone recommend them.
I don't think people who've become adept ever played them, it's just like an in-joke to all the beginners. Sure, his harder pieces are riveting, but the magdalena notebook, just ugh, awful, absolutely awful music. but i have ravel's prelude to keep me sane, and slowly, excruciatingly, through lizsts transcription of 5th symphony, which, i think, my housemate is trying to tell me something by constantly putting waltzes and nocturnes over the top of my sheet music.
im also witness to the biggest bunch of inane university students ever (well not all of them). playing some games that i'd be hard pressed to call masculine or have any semblance with the word olympics, especially in the greek sense. handball? that's not a sport. i was asked to watch some clips of it, but rather would falsely admit to viewing porn than be seen watching handball. and 'extreme' frisbee? bit of an exaggeration calling your overtly sissy sport it xtreme. i wonder if dogs compete in it. unless they skeet the frisbee.. and have to dodge the shrapnel. and the possibly of playing on a minefield. (they did explain frisbee was patented but i chose to ignore it). doesn't say a lot about their intentions to win - when they've just asked people from the athletics squad to come fill in having never played a game. and touch football? well they got to hear playing of the divinyls i touch myself. It's the biggest excuse to drink i've witnessed, surprised there isn't sports like boat races, or beer pong in this thing.
